Information
has glosseng: The edimmu, , were a type of utukku in Sumerian mythology. They were envisioned as the ghosts of those who were not buried properly. They were considered vengeful toward the living and might possess people if they did not take into account certain taboos, such as the prohibition against eating ox meat. They were thought to cause disease and inspire criminal behavior in the living, but could sometimes be appeased by funeral repasts or libations. The edimmu were also thought to be completely or nearly incorporeal, "wind" spirits that sucked the life out of the susceptible and the sleeping (most commonly the young). This experience varies from person to person but most common symptoms are suddenly being lightheaded and dizzy out of nowhere, feeling portions of your body inexplicably going numb, as well as the sensations or being groped, rubbed, poked, scratched, or being brushed against.
