Lentera Malam
An Indonesian podcast where ordinary people share their personal, often traumatic, supernatural horror stories with host Jamaluddin Daris.
A long-form Indonesian interview podcast where host Jamal sits down with guests who recount detailed, personal stories of hauntings, curses, and other supernatural encounters. The format is straightforward: a guest tells their story chronologically, with the host gently guiding the narrative. Some "special" episodes feature on-location investigations where the team visits the site of a previously told story to gather more witness testimony.
“The show's power lies in its focus on the emotional testimony of everyday people, often dealing with family trauma intertwined with the supernatural. Unlike highly produced docu-dramas, it has a grounded, empathetic feel, especially during its on-location investigation episodes which add a layer of journalistic credibility.”

What you'll be asked on this show
Jamal's interview style is non-confrontational and supportive. He typically opens with a simple check-in like "How are you?" to build rapport before establishing the story's premise. He uses clarifying questions to establish relationship dynamics ("How close were you with your mother-in-law?") and timelines ("When was the first mystical incident?") before delving into the supernatural events. He probes gently with questions like "Did anything else happen when you got home?" and shows empathy by reacting with concern when a guest is emotional. He doesn't challenge the guest's account; instead, he helps them structure the narrative for the listener.
Host Jamal Daris acts as a patient and empathetic guide, letting guests narrate their experiences in long, uninterrupted segments. He uses simple, direct questions to clarify timelines or prompt for more detail. He often opens by setting the scene and sometimes includes a disclaimer about the story's sensitive nature before beginning with his signature phrase, "Saksi misteri kita mulai" (Our mystery witness begins).
