In the Old Indian mythology pishachas are described as spiteful and harmful demons or vampires sending diseases, attacking people, feeding their meat and a blood and devouring corpses. In the late Vedic literature ("Ahtarva Veda") pishachas appear as one of the three classes of dark demons (together with rakshasas and asuras), withstand to gods, people and light demons. Sometimes they are identifyed with dyeed in gold yellow colour rakshasas and included on the suite of Shiva.
In the "Tibetian book of
the Dead" pishachas are characterized by witches with bird's (of a hawk, raven, owl, etc.) and animal (of a lion, tiger, wolf, etc.) heads and human trunks of dark-violet, deep blue, black, red and light yellow colour.
The data are reported that pish
achas inhabited Vindhja mounts and talked in special tongue "pishacha".

The "Maitreya Upanishada"- the part of the "Black Yajur-Veda", names pishachas by demons-snakes.
