Loch Ness

Krasue

A flying woman's head with its viscera trailing beneath — one of the most recognisable images in mainland Southeast Asian folklore, known in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos under different names. By day she is an ordinary woman; at night the head detaches and goes looking for food. Her appearance was traditionally linked to night lights over rice paddies and to sickness in livestock. In Thailand she has been the subject of dozens of films and remains a living figure of popular culture rather than a museum entry.
