folk necromancy

yesterday i was checking my FB as usual- then i found something real interesting plus a little creepy.
Well, its in Indonesia, in a small part, far away from town, they say that when people die, they must be buried in their own house. No matter where u r, they will do a ritual to bring back the dead, and make the corpse walk back to their home. The corpse cant hold anything just walk straight back, and noone can talk or look at the corpse directly cuz its bad luck.
Not just human that they do that to, but also cows and animals that r use for sacrifice, eventhou they're headless, they walk back like its a nomal thing, eventhou they're dead.
I read this, and i just know that this is a necromancy. Also they have this kind of cuture so long ago that now its a normal thing to see a corpse walking back home!

are you going to try it? you should that'd be really cool and stuff

I've heard that, too. Sounds a bit creepy at first, but then when you really think about it, it just seems interesting.

it is a very bad idea to summon something like that. what if it gets out of control? the only way to kill it then would be to burn it and that would not be safe at all

I have heard of this practice as well, though I feel that it would not be in the best interest. Often times messing with a body without permission first can result in bad things for the spirit, yourself, or things around you. Also, this practice is one that involves a lot of practice and research. The spiritual leaders who do these sorts of things spend most of their lives learning how since it is so precise.
Not to discredit you, or those who believe in this practice, the idea itself sounds like it goes against the laws of nature and science since bodies have only a short time to be reanimated after death - and this is a medical process that can still leave parts of the body dead. Either way, good luck and be safe in your endeavor.

That's actually pretty old, but regardless of its age, it's fake.

well, at first it really sound creepy and interesting in the same time.
I just heard of it, never wanna try it out.
It goes against the Law of nature.
Well, u can talk to spirit, summon them, do wat ever u want to the spirit. But once the dead body is involve, its just crazy, u cant do that to the dead. Seems like there is no such thing as respect for the dead there.
