The Krasue (Thai: กระสือ, pronounced [krā.sɯ̌ː]) is a nocturnal female spirit of Southeast Asian folklore.It manifests as the floating, disembodied head of a woman, usually young and beautiful, with her internal organs still attached and trailing down from the neck.
The name penanggalan derives from the word tanggal, meaning "to remove or take off", because its form is that of a floating disembodied woman's head, with its organs and entrails trailing from its neck. Though commonly referred to in its native languages as a ghost, the penanggalan cannot be readily classified as a classical undead being.
Krasue, for example is part of the Cambodian, Lao, and Malay cultures as well. [2] A few of these, including the tall Preta, are part of the mythology of Buddhism. [3] There are, however, others, such as Phi Dip Chin, which have entered Thai ghost lore through the Chinese community residing in Thailand for the past few centuries. [4]
