@generalistauthority: This Indonesian girl discovered two Tuyul at the base of a large tree while returning home from her grandmother’s house one evening. Tuyul are small humanoid spirit entities documented across Indonesia. They are rarely encountered in the wild. They are traditionally kept as servants and are known to steal on behalf of their owners. These two appear to have no keeper. I don’t speak the Indonesian language, but tone carries most of the meaning and I was able to understand about 90% of what was said. I will now summarise the interaction. The Tuyul acknowledged the tree as their home. When asked if they feared the dark, one responded: not when we are together. The girl requested permission to touch one of them and the Tuyul allowed it. The locals tried to find the Tuyul after the girl’s interaction, but the Tuyul have not been seen again. #tuyul #folklore #cryptid #paranormal #indonesia
