A Chudail is a figure from South Asian folklore, often depicted as a female spirit or witch. Traditionally, she is believed to be the restless soul of a woman who died during childbirth or faced injustice. Chudails are commonly associated with dark magic and are said to haunt specific locations, particularly near trees or water bodies. In many stories, a Chudail is characterized by her long hair, which she may let down to lure unsuspecting victims. While some tales portray her as malevolent, others suggest she can be protective, warning people against wrongdoing. The concept of a Chudail varies across cultures, reflecting local beliefs and traditions.
