Kodukäija
The kodukäija is the restless dead of Estonian folk belief, a deceased person who returns to the farm outside the sanctioned autumn 'time of souls'. It ranges from a worried parent checking on children to a hostile corpse that wrestles travellers by moonlight and kills livestock. Estonian funerals carried a whole apparatus against it, from sweeping away the mourners' footprints to burying the body face down. It is the Baltic-Finnic counterpart of the Scandinavian gjenganger and the German Wiedergänger, and it remained a living belief into the 20th century.12
- wolves, which were held to be as deadly to it as lightning
- a beating with a rowan or juniper stick or a nine-knotted whip
- a silver bullet or quicksilver
- crosses, knives, salt or flax seed at thresholds and gates
- binding or crippling the corpse, or burying it face down
- a cock's crow, which halts it for the night
یہ پہلی بار کب ظاہر ہوا؟
Systematic records begin with Jakob Hurt's folklore collection (1860-1906); the belief itself is older
