Thanatourism, derived from the Ancient Greek word thanatos for the personification of death, is associated with dark tourism but refers more specifically to violent death; it is used in fewer contexts than the terms dark tourism and grief tourism. The main draw however to these locations is mostly due to their historical value rather than their associations with death and suffering. There is one area that can be categorized as an area of dark tourism in the solo, which is Panggung Songgo Buwono in Keraton Kasunanan Surakarta. Some people especially the person who live in Keraton believe, that the Panggung Songgo Buwono is sacred place, because in certain time Kanjeng Ratu Kencanasari, a ruler of supernatural beings from Laut Selatan will presence in this place.

Ghost Tourism Ghost tourism refers mainly to the desire to encounter ghosts, interest in the supernatural, and visitation of places associated with the spirit world such as cemeteries, haunted houses, castles, and historic towns. Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta (UNS an education institution that stood on the land whose area reaches approximately 60 acres, an area once used as a burial place which is surrounded by marshes. in the development process the tomb was moved to the area of Ngoresan, Karanganyar and partly in Tawangmangu, but there are still some scattered graves were not moved in several Teacher training and Education faculty, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Agriculture, and local kendil hill, the hill located behind the building Argobudoyo. There is still one grave that belong to Prince palace. In addition, there is also grave Nyah Rewel, Nyah Rewel was the first tomb in UNS. The presence of these tombs was a bother, and some are not. A tomb is a tomb which often interferes in FKIP is located near the blue statue which was near the temple,

there is often an accident. In the process of construction of a building in UNS, and even loss of lives as a library building takes 5 workers, as well as the expense of building Auditorium 6 people working, whether it's caused by spirits or by mistake when workers themselves works. Almost every corner of the UNS is a magical place, named kendil hill, a hill not far from the Faculty of Agriculture and Faculty of Medicine is known for sightings of a Horse Carriage Kencana with the coachman, not far from the hill there is the tomb of the most kendil UNS famous, a place that often occurs apparition of a woman with long hair straggling down who believed as Nyah Rewel. Dead river water flow that was in the Faculty of Agriculture has its own story, a story that is not rational, there are people who never saw man walk on water and disappear by itself. Many faculties are in UNS has its own story about the magical events that are believed about the truth. Faculty of Medicine at the much talked about its sacred by many students, there is an event experienced by a lecturer in the anatomy room, a corpse soaked in water to suddenly wake up by itself. Another case in Faculty of technique, there is a more sinister story again, a story about a security guard who committed suicide rather on the ground floor in the building I WAS a woman. Until now the room is never entered by the person and is always locked, except a security guard who works replace the security guard who had died. He vowed to always look and opened the door of the room which is used for the suicide. One day, the security guard forget about his vow , then in the evening visited by spirits of the security guard who committed suicide. Not less scarier story inside the Faculty of law, almost every floor of every room even had a story that made my hair stand, on the ground floor of the building I heard someone who was new bathroom at midnight and two children who were playing in place ablution, even had a security guard in the face with the compound pocong II. Still on the first floor of the building I am a student told us that she had seen firsthand creature who was half of the body in the form of a woman with long hair. Up to the second floor of the first building, at night never happened lectures unnatural, in the lecture room that contains the ghost who is doing the lecture, while on the third floor of the old building there are ghost stories buto ijo. There is a reason that is often said by people about the causes of why the Law Faculty haunted, it is because the buildings of the Faculty of Law is above the high ground and has the highest building in the other faculties.
