A Creepy Female Spirit With A Powerful Presence, Having Long Black Hair And Feet Facing Backwards
A NEPALI URBAN LEGEND
In Nepalese folklore and mythology, there is a description of a female spirit who is quite evil and dangerous, referred to as Kichkanya or Kichkandi
These spirits are considered to be tortured souls of such women who were tortured mentally or physically while alive or died during childbirth or pregnancy
Kichkandi is formed when a portion of the dead body is left unburnt after cremation and such spirits usually begin to haunt the site of their untimely death
Having long black hair and a fair complexion, these spirits can often be seen wearing a red bridal dress, luring lonely male travelers during the night
Local cab drivers often encounter these spirits and according to them, Kichkandi can often be seen asking for lifts late at night
But if she is helped by someone, then after following her directions, eventually, the driver is found unconscious either in the hospital or at the cremation ground
There is a famous story in Nepal of a man named Vishnu, who lived in a rural village and had an encounter with Kichkandi
He was a devotee of God, but one day on a full moon night, he found something unusual, a woman in white clothes just appeared in front of him
