In Ancient India, a story about a female vampire whose feet are turned
backward is a popular part of the ancient Indian Culture. Pischal Peri usually dwells on the deserted
area or those places far away from the human population. The Pischal Peri would commonly attack the
travelers who came across her territory in the woods. There are also some legends where the
creature would attack a village and would torment a particular house in the
neighborhood. Like any other vampires,
Pischal Peri is also blamed for the unexplained death. If a mysterious death occurs in a certain
area and a Pischal Peri was held responsible for the said death, the only thing
that they can do is to pray and hope that this creature would not attack them
next.
This creature takes the identity of a seductive young woman to lure her
victims which is commonly male. He would
then suck the blood of her prey or in some cases take out their vital organs. But for some reason, this vampire cannot copy
the human feet, her feet remains backward which can help someone distinguish a
vampire from a human.
Pischal Peri came from the Persian word پیچھل پری churial which means
back footed. It is also known as Churel
in India. The legends of the Pischal
Peri is popular in Pakistan and India, it is said to terrorize a village found
in the Himalayan foothill. The legend of
this creature seems to have been forgotten by time. The generation of today is no longer aware of
the threats that this creature poses to them.
One should keep a copy of the Hanuman Chalisa which is a Hindu hymn
expressing devotion in order to protect himself from the attack of the Pischal
Peri.
