Pontianak
The Pontianak, Kuntilanak, Matianak or "Boentianak" (as known in Indonesia, sometimes shortened to just kunti) is a type of vampire in Malay folklore, similar to the Langsuir. Pontianaks are women who died during childbirth and became undead, seeking revenge and terrorizing villages.

In folklore, the Pontianak usually announces its presence through baby cries or by turning themselves into a beautiful lady and frightening or killing the unlucky who enters or passes through their vicinity. It usually disguise itself as a beautiful young lady to attract its victim (usually male). Its presence sometimes can be detected by a nice floral fragrance of the "kemboja" (a type of flower) followed by an awful stench afterwards. The distance of a Pontianak's cries are very tricky. The Malays believe that if the cry is soft means that the pontianak is near and if it is loud then it is distant.

A Pontianak kills its victims by digging into their stomachs with its sharp fingernails and devouring their organs. In some cases where the Pontianak desires revenge against a male individual, it rips out the sex organs with its hands. It is believed that Pontianaks locate prey by sniffing out clothes left outside to dry. For this reason, some Malays refuse to leave any object of clothing outside.

People believe that having a sharp object like a nail helps them fend off potential attacks by the Pontianak, the nail is used to plunge a hole at the back of the Pontianak's neck. It is believed that when a nail is plunged into the back of a Pontianak's neck, she will turn into a beautiful woman, until the nail is pulled off again. The Indonesian twist on this is plunging the nail into the apex of the head of the kuntilanak.

The Pontianak is associated with banana trees, and its spirit is said to reside in them during the day.

Some people believe that if you hear a dog howling meaning that the Pontianak is far away. But if a dog is whinning that means the Pontianak is nearby.
