Larvae

 

or lemures, in Roman religion; the ghosts of those who died prematurely or violently. Larvae returned to earth to haunt and harm the living. In order to propitiate them, Romans celebrated Lemuria, holidays held on May 9, 11, and 13. The word “larva” entered medieval demonology as a term for “apparition” or “specter.”
