Among the districts of Penajam Paser Utara and Kutai Kartanegara, there is a beautiful and lush forest park.

However, behind its beauty lies a terrifying story that makes the forest become haunted. Tahura Bukit Soeharto used to be a burial ground for the corpses of Romusha or forced laborers during the Japanese era in East Kalimantan.

Often Appearances of Ghosts Romusha

"Bukit Soeharto used to be a place for Japanese forced laborers. When they died, they were left just like that without being buried properly."

As a result, these Romusha ghosts often wander around until now. The appearance of these ghosts makes their victims disappear when crossing this area. Once they disappear, their victims are usually difficult to find. However, if found, they are usually in a half-crazy condition.

"Ghost Story of Romusha Revealing Itself"

According to the story, the Romusha ghost usually appears as a group of workers carrying a coffin.

Then in the back there were figures of Japanese soldiers complete with uniforms, hats, and long-barreled rifles. One resident claimed to have been disturbed by this Romusha ghost. At that time, he was working on building a road in Tahura Bukit Soeharto. Suddenly, he saw a group of people carrying a box while being pointed at with a rifle. It turned out that those people were a group of forced laborers for the Japanese army.

Romusha was led to a place and forced to dig a hole. When the hole was ready, the box that was brought was placed inside. The forced laborers were suddenly pushed into the hole and then grenades were thrown at them.

"Fear and Fainting"

After witnessing the cruelty of the Japanese army, the citizen immediately fainted. When they regained consciousness, they were still curious about the location of the hole. They deliberately checked and it turned out that at the location, they saw the ghost of the Romusha, but nothing was found.

"Rampant Illegal Mining Practices"

Tahura Bukit Soeharto is actually a primary forest in East Kalimantan. However, in its development, it has become a location for illegal coal mining practices.

The police have repeatedly arrested coal mining perpetrators at the location. Unfortunately, environmental damage has already occurred in Tahura Bukit Soeharto. There are holes from the former coal mines. The size of the illegal mine can be as large as a football field.

Dumping Ground for the Victims of Petrus

In addition to preserving the dark history during the Japanese colonization era, Bukit Soeharto also has other dark stories during the New Order era.

During the New Order era, there were incidents of mysterious shootings (petrus) against criminals. The bodies of these criminals were then dumped in Tahura Bukit Soeharto.
