PHOTOS: See an incredible moment a crocodile returned the body of a man it killed earlier after it was summoned by a Witch Doctor

A 41yr-old man identified as Syarifuddin was bathing in a river with friends in Berau, Indonesia when a crocodile pounced and dragged him beneath the water

According to DailyMail, desperate relatives searched in vain for him and it was assumed that he had been taken into the depths of the Lempake River when police failed to find him.

Crowd gathered as the croc dragged the man out of the river

Villagers contacted a local black magic wizard who specialises in crocodile witch craft and they cast a spell for Syarifuddin to be brought back alive and, incredibly, he emerged on Wednesday morning.

The crocodile floated to the river banks with the naked body of Syarifuddin in its jaws as the gathered crowd looked on.

A local resident said there was a local myth that anyone bathing with clothes on in the river would be fine - but bathing naked would result in a crocodile attack.

WIERD!
