Suanggi

[4] Following the 1999–2000 sectarian conflict that took place in Tobelo, a town and a district in the island of Halmahera, a malevolent female spirit that appeared later in that area was named Suanggi.

After her death her whereabouts were unknown, but six months later the location of her body lying in a ravine was revealed to a diviner in a dream.

[5] Later in 2004, during the first national election in Eastern Indonesia, a local Christian farmer heard the loud wailing cries of a woman near his plantation.

He claimed that they came from the bloodthirsty spirit Suanggi "as if she was crying into a megaphone", similar to the loud speakers widely used in Tobelo during the election campaign.

[7] The East Nusa Tenggara Tourism Office plans to coordinate a race for suanggi to fly as one of the events related to Expo Alor 2019.
