Churel

Sometimes ghosts blur the line between spirit and monster. Once such ghost is the Churel of Southern Asia and India.  Also known as churail, chudail, and chudel, the Churel is a female spirit that preys upon men in a manner similar to a vampire. Churel is also a word for “witch”, and they are considered a very dangerous type of ghost.

The Churel is the ghost of a low caste woman who died while she was pregnant, in childbirth, or while having her menstrual cycle. If a pregnant woman dies during the five days of the Diwali festival, she will surely rise as a Churel.  Most Churel are Soshi Churel, women who were neglected in life and now stalk men to drain their blood and semen. Often they will be particularly fond of the blood of their own relatives.
