The Nachzehrer is the German shroud-eater, a corpse that kills without getting up. By chewing its grave clothes it was thought to drag its surviving relatives after it one by one, by malice or simply from wanting company. The belief gave communities a reason to open graves during outbreaks of disease and helped shape learned debate about the 'masticating dead' in the 18th century. It represents the stationary end of the revenant spectrum, where the corpse is dangerous but does not walk.12

O que causa
Uma morte ou um enterro mal feito
Folk explanations blame mistakes at burial, such as giving the dead some of the living's own belongings.
Como você vira um
Burying a person with grave goods taken from the living, or with their name still on the burial clothes, was thought to risk it.
Como se move
Quase não se move
It need not leave the grave at all: lying there, it chews its shroud and draws the life out of its kin at a distance.
