INFOKU, BLORA –There is an old well that has many mysterious stories.
Gowok Well, that's what the residents of Seso Village, Jepon District, Blora Regency, call it.
The old well is known to be haunted, residents claim to often witness strange events when they are around the location.
Gowok Well is about 7 meters deep, its water never dries up even though it used to be a central point for residents to get water.
Now, when some people have their own wells at home, Gowok wells are starting to be abandoned.
Some local people said that the Gowok well is still being used, but only for irrigating the rice fields around the well.
Many people claim to have experienced mystical events while at the well.
They witnessed the kepoh tree around the well location collapse without any rain or wind.
The tree wasn't fragile, it was still sturdy, and there was no wind. Suddenly, it collapsed on its own, making no sound, but the vibrations were felt.
After the kepoh tree fell, local residents cut it into small pieces so that it could be easily disposed of or used for other purposes.
A resident who participated in the cutting said that night he dreamed of being visited by a tiger.
In his dream, he was asked to return the tree trunk that had been cut into pieces to its original place.
There are even psychics who say that if the tree had not been cut down by the residents, it might have been able to stand again.

Other residents around the Gowok well said that the name 'Gowok' comes from the term 'gowakan' because in the past the well was still used by residents together.
There are so many danyangnya (occult inhabitants), every alms of the earth is sacrificed/feast.
Even though Sumur Gowok is known to be haunted, the people there are fine.
