Mae Nak Phra Khanong
Mae Nak Phra Khanong is a well-known Thai folktale spirit of a woman named Nak who died in childbirth and remained attached to the living world out of devotion to her husband Mak. The legend places her at Phra Khanong (along Khlong Phra Khanong) and presents her both as a terrifying haunting figure and as an object of local devotion at the Wat Mahabut shrine.
Phi Krasue
Phi Krasue is a nocturnal female spirit in Thai/Isan popular belief, depicted as a floating disembodied woman's head with trailing internal organs. Situated within Buddhist-syncretic and local animist worldviews, it functions as a visceral, boundary-enforcing specter in village and regional folklore and continues to appear in contemporary media.
Phenex
Phenex is a Goetic spirit listed in The Lesser Key of Solomon as a Great Marquis of Hell who appears like the mythical phoenix, sings with a child's voice, governs twenty legions, and is said to teach sciences and poetry when compelled into human form. The primary practical caution in the Goetic text is that conjurors must not listen to his singing and must promptly command him to assume humane shape.
Pheres
Pheres is a mythic genealogical figure in ancient Greek tradition, named as the son of Cretheus and Tyro, brother of Aeson and Amythaon, founder of the city Pherae in Thessaly, and father of Admetus and Lycurgus. He functions as an eponymous ancestral founder whose placement in genealogies links local ruling houses to wider heroic cycles such as the Argonauts and the Alcestis/Admetus narratives.
Phereus
Phereus (Ancient Greek: Φηρεύς) is an anthroponym attested across multiple independent figures in Greek mythic narratives rather than a single, uniform supernatural entity. The name appears for a satyr leader in Dionysus's Indian campaign, for one of the Niobid children of Amphion and Niobe, for a Calydonian prince (also called Pheres or Thyreus) son of Oeneus and Althaea, and for an Achaean warrior at Troy.
Phersipnai
Phersipnai (also attested as Persipnei) was the Etruscan queen of the underworld, described in the sources as the consort of the underworld ruler Aita and functionally equivalent to the Greek Persephone and Roman Proserpina. The available references state that the Etruscan name was borrowed from Greek and place her among the ruling figures of the Etruscan chthonic realm.
Phi Am
A vernacular Thai spirit invoked to explain the experience of sleep paralysis: a conscious sleeper who perceives an oppressive presence and is temporarily unable to move. The label links a brief, often frightening nocturnal episode to an unseen agent pressing on the sleeper.
Phi Phong
A ghostly spirit of northern Thai folklore described as the result of black magic gone awry; in modern media a related variant is depicted as a blood‑feeding nocturnal entity. It is framed in sources as arising from failed dark sorcery and appears in contemporary regional horror films.
Phi Pop
A Thai possessing spirit that inhabits a living person and compels them to consume raw entrails at night — the possessed victim may be unaware, accused by their community, and driven out.
Phi Tai Hong
Phi Tai Hong (ผีตายโหง) are vengeful, restless spirits in Thai folklore arising from people who die suddenly and violently. They are feared as especially dangerous and difficult to exorcise; the pregnant-woman variant (Tai Thang/Tai Thong Klom) is regarded as particularly malevolent.
Phidippus
Phidippus (also spelled Pheidippus in some sources) is attested in ancient Greek mythic genealogies as a son of Thessalus and Chalciope and brother of Antiphus and Nesson. The available sources record only his place in a lineage and do not provide myths, attributes, cultic role, appearance, or powers.
Philammon
Philammon (Ancient Greek: Φιλάμμων) is a legendary mortal musician in Greek myth, described as a son of Apollo and credited with composing and instituting sacred hymns and choral performance practices (notably at Delphi). He functions as a culture-hero in genealogies of singers rather than as an autonomous supernatural antagonist.
