Kukudh

També anomenat: kukudhi, kukuvriq, karkanxholl
Folklore i miteMort viu

The kukudh is an Albanian revenant with two faces: the undead miser who will not leave his house, and a demon of epidemic disease. Nobody would spend a night in a dead miser's home for fear of it. The double meaning, corpse and plague at once, is the same association found in Greek, Slavic and English revenant lore. The name is probably connected with an Albanian word for lamenting.1
