Konon ia hidup, namun tak ada yang pernah tahu kapan bergerak. Konon, makhluk misterius itu selalu menghabiskan darah manusia yang dicampur minyak japaron. Namun sekali lagi, tak ada yang tahu kapan ia menenggaknya. Jenglot pada masa ribuan tahun lalu adalah manusia (seorang pertapa) yang tengah mempelajari ilmu Bethara Karang. Ilmu Bethara Karang diyakini sebagai ilmu keabadian. Artinya, setiap orang yang memiliki ilmu tersebut akan hidup abadi di dunia. Namun, akibat kutukan, jasad jenglot tidak diterima di dunia sedangkan rohnya tidak diterima di akherat. Maka roh tersebut seperti terpenjara dalam jasad kecil ini. Setelah itu, sang pertapa menjadi emosional dan merasa sebagai jawara. Tak pelak, tubuhnya pun menyusut, hingga akhirnya mengecil. Empat taring kemudian tumbuh memanjang, tak sebanding dengan lebar mulutnya. Katanya, itu sebagai lambang keganasan dan sifat liar sang “monster”. 

Leak Bali 

In Balinese mythology, Leak is a wicked witch. “Le” artinya penyihir dan “ak” artinya jahat. Leak hanya bisa dilihat di malam hari oleh para dukun pemburu leak. In daylight he looks like a human being, while at night he was in the cemetery to look for organs in the human body uses to make magic potions. Ramuan sihir itu dapat mengubah bentuk leak menjadi seekor harimau, kera, babi atau menjadi seperti Rangda. If necessary he can also take organs from living people. Diceritakan juga bahwa Leak dapat berupa kepala manusia dengan organ-organ yang masih menggantung di kepala tersebut. Leak dikatakan dapat terbang untuk mencari wanita hamil, untuk kemudian menghisap darah si bayi yang masih di kandungan. Ada tiga leak yang terkenal. Dua di antaranya perempuan dan satu laki-laki. Menurut kepercayaan orang Bali, Leak adalah manusia biasa yang mempraktekkan sihir jahat dan membutuhkan darah embrio agar dapat hidup. Dikatakan juga bahwa Leak dapat mengubah diri menjadi babi atau bola api, sedangkan bentuk Leak yang sesungguhnya memiliki lidah yang panjang dan gigi yang tajam. Beberapa orang mengatakan bahwa sihir Leak hanya berfungsi di pulau Bali, sehingga Leak hanya ditemukan di Bali.
