Evil Eye is designed and built by Udit Raj, an independent developer with a deep interest in world folklore, mythology, and structured knowledge systems. The project began as a personal encyclopedia — a way to document the things that don't fit neatly into Wikipedia's neutral-voice constraints.

About Evil Eye

Purpose

Evil Eye is an open-source grimoire — a structured encyclopedia of supernatural entities drawn from world folklore. Its focus is sourced documentation, not sensationalism. Every entity carries a confidence rating, a source list, and structured presence signs that no other publicly available resource provides. The Djinn is not a genie. The Yokai is not a demon. Where translation flattens something ancient and complex, we push back.

What Is Documented

The grimoire covers entities (spirits, demons, deities, tricksters), haunted places (burial grounds, ruins, cursed roads), and cursed objects — documented across oral tradition, academic ethnography, religious canon, and first-hand account. Sources range from Vedic cosmology and West African vodun to Norse skaldic verse and contemporary ghost lore. Where lore is disputed, it is marked.
