"A dump when Aceh is in conflict"
Various stories of accidents and haunted bridges Seunapét become a separate story that is so durable to always tell. Mystery is emerging.
Whenever I want to write about the Seunapét bridge, there is a flurry of feelings mixed with the logic that often collide to pour.
Believe it and do not. Those are the two words that often linger in memory. But still enough to be a big question mark in every mind that listens.
A friend told of his experience. He is from Lhokseumawe to Banda Aceh by driving a sedan with his husband. Tired, in Sigli City he rested. Then at around 10:00 pm the journey continues.
Up in the mountains of the Seulawah valley, the cold air began to feel. At around 11:00 pm, he and his husband arrived at the Seunapet bridge.
At the turn before the bridge, the car feels heavy. At that time I thought maybe this was a hike. The car went as usual. No impression made me think weird.
However, instantly the car I steered more and more heavy. Suddenly a large black creature passes in front of the glass from the right side. My eyes are dark!
At that time, my mouth did not stop saying istigfar and Qur'anic verses. But my mind remains the focus of driving the car. Feelings of fear and nervousness are certain.
Arriving at home, the incident at the Seunapet bridge I told my husband. But what to say, husband does not believe what I experienced. That was my first experience at the Seunapet Bridge.
Another friend told me one day. At the time of the conflict, there were several unidentified corpses found at the bottom of the Seunapet bridge.
Once upon a time there was a dead body lying. At that time, no one dared to take. But an adult man who worked at the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) took the body, then delivered to the house by ambulance.
Condition of the corpse slightly off the smell. Arriving home, the corpse was then greeted by residents and homeowners. Families become hysterical.
Furthermore, the driver's man was tired to ask permission to the dead family to return. Once shocked, as he drove the car, a male figure stood right in front of him.
The figure, he claimed was the corpse he had helped, then in a cryptic voice for thanking him for helping him bring home.
Another friend also recounted, when he returned from Banda Aceh to Sigli by riding the bus Kurnia. At around 21.00 WIB, the bus he was traveling on ran a female figure in a white dress.
"My eyes see clearly a figure like the woman fell, then I look back there was not," he explained.
He continued, astonished by the other passengers who were beside him. They just do not seem to see what I see. He was even more surprised after the event.
The story then continues. A friend, his profession as a L300 driver. Silence around midnight with seven passengers traveling to Sigli Town.
Up at the Seunapet bridge, weather conditions with less illumination he tried to break through the night. He also turns the spotlight between the smoke haze.
Once shocked, a figure dressed in white with long hair sitting on the wall. Then the moment disappears. He also tried to suppress the gas of the car that he steering and keep focused so as not to lose control.
A bus entrepreneur also told me about some incidents that hit the bus into the abyss. The story of the bus driver, as if going in his subconscious, there are passengers who are stopping the bus.
The road before and after the Seunapet bridge of its kind is Spiral Spiral (SS). But in the driver's eyes, the road was straight. When the driver drove his bus to the passenger, it was a bridge under the bridge.
Between mystic and other factors, some accidents are often the case. Suppose an accident on Sunday, October 13, 2014, Anugrah bus also entered the abyss.
Then happened on Wednesday, November 30, 2011, at 22.00 Wib two Interculer into the Gorge after crashing into another car. This midnight event seemed to reinforce the story without logical reasoning.
The black Avanza car, carrying a family from Banda Aceh also plunged into a 25-meter ravine. All passengers can not be saved.
At the same time vulnerable on May 15, 2016, buses between other provinces also experienced the same thing with the entrance in the abyss around 01.00 Wib in the morning. A series of frequent events.
That glimpse note accidents that often occur in the Seunapet bridge. Not to mention the collision at the intersection is also common.
From data released by Satlantas Polres Aceh Besar, since 2007-2011 there has been a traffic accidents at the corner of Seunapet as many as 16 cases causing 12 people died, 16 people suffered serious injuries and 80 people suffered minor injuries.
The data shows so many casualties falling on the corner of the Dutch heritage of ancient times. As if affirming the mystical truth of each story to justify the haunted face of the Seunapet bridge.
Halimah Appearance *
Halimah's name is often associated with various sightings on the Seunapet bridge. Whatever comes to ghosts or mystery impressions, Halimah is a name that will definitely be mentioned.
From some chats, Halimah often disrupts the road users crossing the Seunapet bridge. Many stories are often told from mouth to mouth. The locals are very familiar with the story.
For bus drivers or other passenger cars, the story of Halimah's ghostly figure that often reveals itself around the Seunapet Bridge is familiar to their ears.
Halimah story begins when in the 80's. A woman experiences a rape tragedy by a number of men. At that time the streets were lonely and wooded. Seulawah Valley.
According to the news, the beautiful woman who was killed was still 18 years old. When the streets were quiet, Halimah returned home, a number of young men held her in a car, then raped in rotation.
Halimah pretty helpless against the lalaki depraved. He was limp, then unconscious. His body was battered.
To cover the behavior so as not to be uncovered, the men killed Halimah. His body was dumped around the Seunapet Bridge. No one knows, until now where the position of Halimah's corpse.
Glimpses of his corpse are just left alone among the rocks of the river valley of the Seulawah bridge. The beautiful woman's body was dormant.
The embodiment of the spirit as an apparition, part of Halimah's effort introduces itself to the human passing on the Seunapet track. The rumor also, Halimah wanted to give proof, that she is on the Seunapet bridge.
However, the various tales that are developed certainly need reason and strong logic to understand all that. The unseen world still exists, but the rationality of thinking also becomes important in interpreting every storyline.
