The Jiangsh is a Chinese vampire/zombie that's name translates to 'stiff corpse'. It is a horrific creature that usually hops along, and when it comes across a victim it will suck the life force out of them.

A poltergeist is known for is making "knocking" noises, so it will come as no surprise to learn that the word poltergeist translates literally from German as knocking spirit.

Hungry ghosts are the demon-like creatures in Buddhist, Taoist, Hindu, Sikh, and Jain texts as the remnants of the dead who are afflicted with insatiable desire, hunger or thirst as a result of bad deeds or evil intent carried out in their life times
I think about the hungry ghost concept from time to time. One of the levels of death in the book of living and dying is the realm of the hungry ghosts. I think it’s a good way to remember not to let these thoughts overcome us.
I think reincarnation is a wavelength u travel up a down these realms, some of it good, some bad, and some of it is so-so. If reincarnation is the way it works.
Maybe! Hard to bring stuff back from those realms. Consciousness is a funny thing.
I think that although the Bardo thödol is read to the recently deceased to ease the consciousness passing into a good birth, that it’s also effective in reminding the living how to approach their remaining years at a time when they are most perceptive.
Having been blessed with a few death test runs, I feel at least a little qualified to comment on the subject and offer my opinion on hungry ghosts and the intended effect of the bardo thödol.
