Supernatural Creatures
Pa`'gak.
This is a personification of a human skeleton without the flesh, which wanders about the country. When he travels, he goes as fast as he thinks. When he wishes himself to be in a place, he is there as soon as he thinks of it. When he is heard by the people, it is a sign that someone will die. It is thought that he is heard occasionally three times in succession, making his pecular noise, once at the horizon, once at the zenith, and again at the opposite horizon.
