Origin: Malaysia
The Langsuir is the ghost of a woman who died while giving birth to a dead baby. She is similar to the Pontianak, but there are some differences. She appears as a hideous woman with glowing red eyes, a rotting green face, and long sharp nails. She has long black hair that hangs down to her ankles and is usually wearing a green or white dress.
The Langsuir is jealous of pregnant women, so she attacks them and tries to kill them or cause their babies to be born dead. She has a hole in the back of her neck through which she can suck the blood of her victims. She can also possess her victims and suck out their blood from the inside.
The Langsuir lives near the coast and when she can't find human victims, she resorts to sucking the blood out of fish.
To prevent a pregnant woman's corpse from becoming a Langsuir, you have to place needles in both her hands, glass beads in her mouth, and an egg under each armpit.
It is possible to tame a Langsuir by cutting off her long nails and stuffing her long hair into the hole at the back of her neck.
