Mesmerizing Benhil

From Republika

Crime in Jakarta is becoming rampant. Not only men but women too are criminals, and they often use hypnotism.

My mother became the victim of such a crime on May 18, 1996 at Benhil Market, South Jakarta, 10 a.m. A woman said hello and then told her not to wear ornaments. As my mother took no heed of the warning, two other women, her conspirators, stood in my mother's way and convinced her that the first woman was a "wise" person. Suddenly my mother was hypnotized and did whatever she was told.

The three women then gave my mother magic formulas contained in a cigarette pack, to keep her valuables and money. But when later my mother opened it she found some tissue paper and a coin. At the end of the meeting the three conspirators told my mother to buy seven different flowers. My mother only regained proper consciousness when she got home.

Women, be warned!
