Vinegar Baths

After a difficult day, the hospital corridors have emptied and the midwife can finally eat her meal in peace. But with the late hour, one’s hunger grows, and people sometimes succumb to strange whims… A modern version of the myth of the penanggalan, whose nocturnal wanderings, concluded with a healthy vinegar bath, are the stuff of nightmares of people throughout Southeast Asia.
