Bhuta, from Indian lore, is a flesh-eating spirit or demon. The bhuta is considered a vampiric demon, they are said to be the restless souls of people who died from either suicide, execution, or violence. They haunt day and night usually in forests or abandoned houses and appear as a mist or flickering lights that hover above ground without casting shadows. They like to haunt people who do not perform the right funerary customs for the dead. The bhuta can be avoided by lying flat on the ground, since they are above ground and never rest.They are blamed for ruining crops, causing illness, disease, plagues, and insanity, just like the European vampire. They can enter human bodies causing sickness and/or death. They can be scared away by burning turmeric. The demon version of the Bhuta is very similiar, although they were never alive.
