Chilling Video Shows A Shaman Who Can ‘Control Crocodiles’ Dragged Beneath The Water

#1 In the shocking video, he is seen swimming into the waters to look for the body of a teenager, called Arjuna, who was attacked the previous day.

#2 Known as Suprianto, a pawang buaya (crocodile shaman), heard that a man was fatally attacked by the reptiles.

#3 He stated he has the power to control crocodiles but he clearly doesn’t.

The man died after the suspected crocodile attack in Kutai Kartanegara, Indonesia, despite his supposed powers.

#4 Suprianto was dragged under mid-mantra as he was swimming and chanting while on a mission to find the boy.

#5 Concerned citizens watched as Suprianto went into the water saying he could keep the crocodiles at bay while he was chanting.

#6 Onlookers were shocked at the sight and one witness was able to capture a video of the attack.

#7 After a few moments, he can be seen being dragged beneath the water.

#8 Police recovered both bodies on Sunday.

Kutai Kartanegara Police Chief Fadillah Zulkarnaen told Detik news site: "Suprianto was found floating at 9.40pm. "

#9 "I think he was dragged by a croc under the water and then ran out of oxygen."

"From the pictures I’ve seen, his body is still intact, his arms and legs are still there."

Arjuna’s corpse was also intact.

#10 It’s quite unfortunate that this man passed, but it’s also quite unfortunate that he truly believed he could control crocodiles.

In conclusion, please don’t assume you can control any animal.
