The phenomenon of pocong terror represents a form of public order disturbance that exploits cultural beliefs in supernatural entities to create fear and anxiety within society. Although such acts are often perceived by perpetrators as harmless pranks, they may disrupt public security and give rise to criminal liability under Indonesian law. This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to the emergence of the pocong terror phenomenon, examine its social impacts on the community, and analyze the application of Indonesian criminal law to such acts as a form of public order disturbance. This research employed a normative legal research method using both the statutory approach and the case approach. The study relied exclusively on secondary legal materials, consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources collected through library research and analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings indicate that the emergence of pocong terror is influenced by several factors, including juvenile delinquency, low levels of legal awareness, inadequate environmental supervision, the influence of social media, and the exploitation of cultural beliefs that remain prevalent within certain communities. From the perspective of Indonesian criminal law, such conduct cannot merely be regarded as entertainment if it fulfills the legal elements of a criminal offense, including causing fear, disturbing public order, or resulting in harm to others. Therefore, the provisions of *Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Indonesian Criminal Code*, together with other relevant legislation, may serve as the legal basis for imposing criminal liability on perpetrators according to the characteristics and legal consequences of their actions. This study is expected to contribute to the development of criminal law scholarship, particularly regarding the protection of public order and the application of criminal law to emerging social phenomena in Indonesia.
