The Kuntilanak (Indonesian name), also called Pontianak (Malay name), is a vengeful spirit in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The Kuntilanak usually takes the form of a beautiful woman but will reveal her true form of an ugly monster if necessary. The Kuntilanak is the stillborn child of Langsuir, another Southeast Asia female ghost. Alternatively, it is often described as an angry female spirit. Another form of the Kuntilanak refers to the ghost or white lady of Southeast Asian folklore. The Kuntilanak is often depicted as a long-haired woman dressed in white. She lures in unsuspecting men to incite fear and enact revenge. Signs that a Kuntilanak is nearby include the sound of an infant crying and the smell of a decaying corpse or the plumeria flower.
