The unnerving childlike phantom known as the Acheri originated in Hindu folklore in northern India, though it also appears as a Native American myth among the Chippewa people. The Acheri is the ghost of a young girl who died under tragic circumstances. She returns from beyond the grave, descending from the mountains after dark to bring sickness to children and the elderly. The Acheri typically appears as a pale and sickly looking young girl, and when its shadow falls upon its victims they fall ill with a deadly respiratory disease.
