Apparitional experience
An apparitional experience is a parapsychological term for an anomalous perceptual event in which a person perceives a living being or inanimate object without any corresponding material stimulus. The label is deliberately neutral—used by researchers to describe phenomenology without presupposing survival after death—and the phenomenon has been treated as data relevant to debates about perception, dissociation, telepathy, and survival hypotheses.
Appu (Hurrian)
Appu is the central figure of a fragmentary myth preserved in Hittite archives as CTH 360 and conventionally regarded by scholars as reflecting a Hurrian tale. The text survives in Hittite-language form, is incomplete, and provides few concrete details about the character beyond its role as the story's protagonist.

Apseudes is one of the fifty Nereids in Greek mythology, daughters of Nereus and the Oceanid Doris. She is primarily known from genealogical name-lists; her name is glossed in sources as meaning 'truthful' or 'she who never lies,' but no independent myths, rituals, or iconography for her are attested in the supplied materials.
Apshait
Apshait is attested in modern references as a monstrous, corpse-eating beetle mentioned in Ancient Egyptian funerary literature; specifically it is cited as occurring in the Book of the Dead (chapter 36).

Apsu (Abzu)
Apsu (Sumerian Abzû; Akkadian Apsu) is the primeval freshwater principle in Mesopotamian cosmology, conceived both as the subterranean freshwater ocean/aquifer and as a hypostatic divine presence. Paired with the saltwater Tiamat, Apsu is a progenitor of earlier divine generations and the source of lakes, springs, rivers, rain and floodwaters; in Enūma Eliš he is slain by the younger god Ea and his domain becomes Ea's dwelling.
