Kirkonväki
Kirkonväki is the Finnish name for the dead as a body, the population of the churchyard acting together. Finnish legend gives them corporeal form, as a congregation of decaying corpses that fills the church at night and mauls any living intruder, though everyday belief treated them more as an invisible, foul-smelling force. They enforced respect for graves and proper burial and could be weaponised by cunning folk. They are the closest thing in Finnish tradition to a horde of the walking dead.1
- precautions when crossing churchyard boundaries
- leaving something behind: in one legend a man escapes by dropping his fur coat on the church threshold, and the dead tear the coat apart
