Salmon Ghost of Baloch

ghost · Pakistan · South Asia

Not independently attested in Baloch folklore. Salmon not native to Balochistan's arid rivers (Indus tributaries, seasonal streams). Baloch tradition features desert djinn (Mujna), tribal heroes, mountain spirits, but no salmon ghosts. The record appears fabricated, conflating Pacific Northwest salmon spirits with Baloch culture. 'Swamp guardian' habitat also erroneous for arid Balochistan.
