Shteli Kherkher

nature-spirit · Afghanistan · Central Asia

Not independently attested as a distinct nature-spirit of Afghan or Pashtun folklore. No source confirms a forest spirit named 'Shteli Kherkher' haunting Afghan woods or meadows; Pashtun lore records mountain spirits and djinn beliefs, but no figure by this name appears in ethnographic literature. The traits recorded appear to derive from modern speculation.
