Acheri (Native American)

Acheri is a haunting spirit found in the folklore of various Native American tribes, particularly in North America. Often taking the form of a young girl, Acheri descends from high mountain ranges during the night, bringing illness and death to those she encounters. Indigenous communities are particularly afraid of her because she can cause serious illness through her touch or presence. To protect against Acheri, tribes employ talismans and rituals to ward off her malevolent influence.
