Eahpáraš
Eahpáraš is a dangerous spirit of a dead newborn child and it haunts people. It urges for a name. The only way to baptise an Eahpáraš is to reverse the ordinary ceremony and give the disturbing spirit the name of an object. If the Eahpáraš manages to slip between your legs, you will risk to be trapped in a paranormal world. After the ritual, the spirit will shape shift to a ptarmigan and never haunt people anymore.
