Ahmad Suradji: The Black Magic Killer – 42 Ritual Murders in the Sugarcane Field

In this harrowing episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale uncovers the disturbing tale of Ahmad Suradji, the infamous Indonesian shaman who murdered 42 women in a twisted quest for supernatural power. Operating for over a decade in North Sumatra, Suradji presented himself as a spiritual healer — a “dukun” who could cure illness, mend broken relationships, and bring prosperity. But behind the ceremonial cloth and incense rituals was a man driven by a nightmarish vision: a dream in which his dead father ordered him to kill 70 women and drink their saliva to become spiritually invincible. With immersive storytelling, rich cultural context, and a chilling forensic lens, Damien Vale walks listeners through the sugarcane fields of Medan, the graves, the betrayals, and the silence of a community too afraid to question its holy man. This is not just a tale of murder — it’s a story of belief turned to blood. This is the true story… of The Black Magic Killer.
