vetela- Is an evil spirit of Indian lore who haunts cemeteries and reanimates corpses. The vetela is demonic in appearance. It has the body of a human but its hands and feet are turned backwards. They live in red stones and like to play tricks on the living
The reversal of the hands and feet is graphically uncanny in my mind but I've never seen an image of this. I'll look.
