prosetitutes: southeast asian mythology series (1/5) Pontianak The pontianak is a vampiric ghost in Malay and Indonesian mythology; they are said to be the spirits of women who died either during pregnancy or childbirth. Pontianak are usually depicted as pale women with long hair, dressed in white. In folklore, the pontianak usually announces their presence through baby cries - If the cry is soft, it means they are near. Their presence can sometimes also be detected by a floral fragrance identifiable as that of the plumeria, The pontianak kill their victims by digging into their stomachs with sharp fingernails and devouring their organs. In some cases where the pontianak desires revenge against a male individual, it rips out the sex organs with its hands. To fend off a pontianak, a nail must be plunged into the hole on the nape of her neck. This is said to make her a beautiful woman and a good wife until the nail is removed. (x) -- source link
