Pichhal Pairi

The term Pichhal Pairi is recorded in the cited sources as a regional name applied to the churel figure in northwestern South Asia and parts of Central Asia. The available entries do not provide a specific mythic creation narrative or birth-story for the entity; instead, they present the name and figure as part of the stock of local ghost stories and popular belief about female spirits in the region.

Sources describe Pichhal Pairi as a female apparition presented as a woman with very long hair that covers her face and with feet that point backward. Some versions recorded in the sources add that the spirit may have an inverted face as an additional unsettling trait. The entries also note the alternate local name 'Daan' in some contexts. These visual details — long hair obscuring the face and backward-pointing feet — are given as the defining markers of the figure in the cited material.

The cited sources characterize Pichhal Pairi as a ghostly figure that attacks; some variants of the tales specifically state that it attacks men. Beyond being described as an attacking spirit, the supplied sources do not describe further powers such as speech, shapeshifting, possession, or other supernatural capacities.
