The Pontianak of Indonesia is the spirit of a woman who died in childbirth. She sleeps in banana trees in the day, and wanders the forests looking for victims at night. When she is near, you will start to hear her baby cry. The farther away she is the louder the sound is. As she gets closer, the baby's cries seem to recede until she is right on top of you. She kills by ripping out her victim's guts and eating them. If your eyes are open when she catches you, she'll tear out your eyes first and feed them to her child.
The Pontianak has a hole at the back of her neck. If you stick a nail in the hole, she turns into a beautiful mortal woman. If married, she is the perfect wife — as long as the nail stays in place. If it is removed, she will change back into a wraith and kill her husband.
