Asian ghosts refer to the various character in mythology that have been classified as ghosts or supernatural beings within Chinese, Malaysian and Thai mythologies in Asia. These ghosts tend to be the result of black magic or black magic gone wrong permanently affecting a human being or a mortal.

These ghosts are usually negative in nature and tend to cause harm to the people of earth and are portrayed as forces of evil in not only traditional mythology and cultural practices but also in modern cultural superstitions.

The extremely popular anime and video game culture in the region also has contributed in keeping this alive by bringing to life these ghosts and providing the younger generation with a visual depiction.
