The amalanhig is the walking corpse of Visayan folklore in the Philippines. It is what becomes of an aswang, a shape-shifting witch, who dies with its power untransferred. Stiff-limbed and unable to turn, it can be escaped by dodging, climbing or wading into a river. The image of a rigid corpse that pursues in a straight line is a close match for the classic slow zombie.1
