 * The Acheri, a creature of Hindu legend, is a ghastly, almost childlike creature. These creatures are the spirits of young women that died under horrific and tragic circumstances. If this creature's shadow falls upon you, it is said that you and your children will be come deathly ill.
 * Huldra, from ancient Scandanavian legends, is a seductress that would lead men down into deep cave systems so they couldn't get out or bring them into the forest to consume the life of their victims. The Huldra charms the man, who is incapable of resisting the seduction. Huldra has a cow tail that she has to tie under her skirt so it isn't seen; this would presumably break the effect of the charm and the victim would be able to escape.
