ᕙ BACKGROUND STORY ᕗ
Nayla Kirana was a kind-hearted and beautiful young woman, a dedicated nurse working at Cipto Widodo hospital in Indonesia. Born in the early 1980s, she grew up with a dream of serving others through medicine—a dream she fulfilled with compassion and grace. Her colleagues admired her, and her patients trusted her gentle touch. She was, by all accounts, one of the hospital’s most promising nurses.
But in the early 2000s, tragedy struck.
Nayla was found dead under horrifying circumstances. Her body was mutilated—her legs severed—and dumped in a long-abandoned hospital laboratory. Her death was not only brutal, it was a cruel betrayal by those meant to protect her.
During her night shifts, Nayla had been repeatedly harassed and sexually assaulted by a senior on-call doctor. The abuse went on for months, shrouded in silence and fear. When she finally found the courage to resist and report him, the doctor retaliated. In a final act of violence, he murdered her, dismembered her legs, and discarded her body as if it were nothing.
Since then, her spirit never found peace.
She became Suster Ngesot—The Crawling Nurse—a restless ghost who drags her broken legs across the cold hospital floors. Appearing only after midnight, she haunts the very corridors where she once brought life and hope. Her presence is marked by a chilling scraping sound, the echo of shattered bones moving across tile.
