The Paigoels
The Paigoels
According to Nathaniel E. Kindersley, these were devils of Hindustan mythology. Some of the Hindus believed that the paigoels were originally created devils; other believed they were individuals put out of heaven because of their great sin. Some of these devils had individual names and were the tempters of men to special sins; others entered into the bodies of men and took possession of them. It was also believed that the souls of wicked men joined the paigoels.
