A sudden drop in customer traffic was facing Javanese restaurant SongOseng owned by Nunung over a period of time ending around August, marking a severe decline after the establishment discovered multiple packages of graveyard soil scattered around the premises.

Graveyard Soil Discoveries Stun Solo Restaurant

Operated by comedian Tri Retno Prayudati, widely known as Nunung Srimulat, the culinary venture is situated near a housing complex and factory area in Sawahan, Ngempal, Boyolali, close to the Solo border. The business had been operating at the location for about a year following a move from Purwosari. Danar Adi, Nunung’s brother, confirmed that the business experienced a severe slowdown over the prior two months, with customer numbers peaking downward around August 2026.

Graveyard Soil Coincides with Revenue Drops

The comedian stated that the greyish-white bundles contained a dark brown substance resembling earth, which was identified by her camp as graveyard soil strewn across the parking lot and near the entrance of the joglo dining hall. While expressing initial skepticism toward supernatural occurrences, Nunung noted in interviews cited by CNN Indonesia that the persistent discovery of these items coincided with sudden drops in revenue and odd customer behavior, such as cars pulling into the lot only to reverse and drive away without stopping.

Spiritual Resolve Over Paranormal Help

Rather than seeking assistance from traditional healers or paranormal figures, Nunung chose to address the situation through religious devotion and introspection. Daripada kita punya pikiran, Ayo kita cari lawan buat gini-ginian, aku nggak mau, Nunung said, as quoted by RCTI+. Kan banyak orang pintar gitu, Ayo di sana ada Mbak Nunung. Ah enggak, aku nggak kayak gitu. Aku punya Allah kok, Allah itu kekuatanku.

Nunung Organizes Religious Gathering to Counter Slowdown

To counter the slowdown and address internal operations, Danar Adi told detikcom that Nunung organized a religious gathering and a complete recitation of the Al-Qur’an at the restaurant on the weekend prior to October 6, 2026, led by a local ustadz and his students. Alongside spiritual efforts, Nunung instructed her kitchen staff to avoid keeping unsold food overnight.
