Kinoly

Sidoo kale loo yaqaan: angatra
Khuraafaad iyo ugaarsiDhintayDhimasho ama xabaalid xun

The kinoly is a predatory form of the dead in Madagascar. Malagasy religion centres on keeping ancestors content, and the kinoly is what an ancestor can become when that duty fails. The famous famadihana ceremony, in which families take out their dead and wrap them in new cloth, is understood by some as protection against it. It is a rare example of an undead belief tied to a rite in which corpses are handled by their kin.1
