HINDU DEMON - CHUREL

The Churel is the ghost of a woman who dies when bearing a child or has somehow broke some religious taboos when dying.

The basic form of the churel is sometimes described as having reversed feet and no mouth. According to another description, she has long, pendant breasts, sharp long teeth, unkempt hair, and a black tongue. But she can appear as a beautiful young woman who seduces young men and keeps them enthralled, draining them of their vitality, until they prematurely become grey-haired old men. She preys mainly upon her relatives.

There are ways you can get rid of a churel such as piercing the thumb and fore-fingers of the corpse with nails or binding the the toes of the corpse together with an iron ring.
