Acheri

From MedBib.com - Medicine & Nature

In Indian mythology an Acheri is the ghost, or spirit, of a little girl who comes down from mountains and hilltops at night to bring sickness to humans, particularly children. The only defense against an Acheri was thought to be a red ribbon tied around one's neck. [1]
