Indonesia’s Most Haunted Modern Ruin: The Chilling Story of Bali’s Lost Plane

Known locally as the "Lost Plane," this derelict aircraft blends failed ambition, tragic origins, and whispered supernatural encounters.

Under the Skin
I don’t remember who first suggested we explore the cave. Probably Liam. He was always the one who wanted to go off-trail, poking around where we shouldn’t. That day, there were five of us: Liam, Mel, Dee, Alex, and me. The air smelled like burnt pine and wet earth. We were two miles off the main trail in Bear Hollow, our phones useless and dead. No signal. No maps. Just adrenaline and too much confidence.

The River Waits for the Quiet Ones
The One Who Never Spoke Much Luqman wasn’t the kind of kid anyone worried about. He was quiet — the kind of quiet that made adults say, “He’s such a good boy.” He didn’t run wild, didn’t break things, didn’t shout over others. He walked instead of ran, whispered instead of laughed, and watched the world like it might disappear if he blinked too fast.

The Hollow Beneath the Pines. AI-Generated.
It was the summer of 2012 when I visited a remote village in southern France with my cousin Adrien. The kind of place where phones lose signal, and time slows down to match the hum of crickets. At the edge of the village stood an ancient pine forest, rumored by locals to be “cursed.” They called it La Forêt Creuse—The Hollow Forest. Of course, we laughed it off. At seventeen, curses were just stories meant to keep kids indoors. But I’ve never quite laughed about it since.

Putt Putt Park
Alba wanted a cute night out with Amos after a long week. She wanted to play putt putt, but was tired of the same ones in the town. She searched on her phone and found one that was located within a small town next to their own. They drove the 50 minutes in order to enjoy the new found spot. When they arrived the place seemed rusted, abandoned, and overgrown. They walked into the front building to pay. A man who seemed to be around 80 was standing at a desk. He did not look up and continued to read the book in front of him. He only pointed to the sign next to him that showed, "18 holes: $5 per person."
