Description

Ma Phae Wah (Burmese : မဖဲဝါ, also spelt as Ma Phae War; lit. "yellow-ribbon lady") is a prominent Burmese nat . She is known to be a guardian spirit of the graveyards and cemeteries in Myanmar.
Ma Phae Wah makes her home in the cemetery, but come midnight she hoists a coffin onto her shoulder and shuffles through town with her long hair waving in the spectral breeze. Woe to the household where she stops and puts down her casket on the doorstep, for someone in that family usually a child will soon sicken and die.
