Vetala (Skt. vetāla; Tib. རོ་ལངས།, Wyl. ro langs) is a harmful spirit that typically haunts charnel grounds and is most often depicted entering into and animating corpses. Hence, the Tibetan translation means “risen corpse”. [1]

It’s similar to the English word ‘zombie’ which means an animated corpse.
