Background
Phi Krasue is a feared ghost in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Malaysia. The Phi Krasue is said to take the form of a beautiful woman in a long, flowing dress and is known for captivating his victims. These ghosts are also part of the Laotian, Cambodian and Malay faiths, seeking out pregnant women either immediately before or shortly after giving birth. The ghost then tries to penetrate them with its long tongue to consume the fetus or placenta.

It can be assumed that the depiction of Phi Krasue goes back to hanged women whose lower bodies were eaten by animals.
