Genderuwo According to Anthropologists
American anthropologist Clifford Geertz classified spirits in Indonesia into five types. 
First is memedi, then lecepat, tuyul, demit and danyang. 

Memedi called Geertz is a type of creature which literally means scaremonger. Meanwhile, lekembang is a creature that can make someone go crazy. 
Tuyul is called a child's spirit. 
Demit is described as a spirit creature that inhabits a place. 
Temporary and more or less like ants, but more identified with figures or ancestors who have died and are tasked with protecting them. 

Geertz in his book entitled 'The Religion of Java' in 1960, the translated version of which was entitled 'Javanese Religion: Abangan, Santri, Priyayi' which was first published in 1985, said that Genderuwo belonged to the memedi group or whose job was to intimidate. Genderuwo is a type of men's memedi, while women are called 'wewe'. ***
