Ghosts of Asaro

Mt.Gurupoka of Papua New Guinea is the land of ghosts!

They emerged slowly from the trees. Scary heads were attached to grey bodies. Abruptly, they vanished and reappeared behind you like a ghost.

They were Asaro Mudmen, indigenous warriors residing in high valley along Asaro River,Papua New Guinea
