Chindi

The Chindi is a form of ghost from Navajo myth. They are believed to be all the wickedness of a person leaving their body after death. They cause mischief and sickness for any of their living relatives. If proper rituals are performed the Chindi will blow away in the wind and fade into the night sky.
