Chapter 12: The Corpse-Doll Soul-Binding Art

The Corpse-Doll Soul-Binding Art

Regional Folk Background

Khorat Province is a central hub of northeastern Thailand and a center of Isan culture. The corpse-doll secret art here, known as the Krasue Doll, is said to be more terrifying than the flying-head demon. The Isan people believe that those who die violent deaths—through car accidents, suicide, or murder—leave behind souls filled with extreme resentment. Such souls can be made into corpse dolls and controlled to work for the practitioner or harm others. This secret art is known as the Corpse-Doll Soul-Binding Art.

Core Evil Practice: The Corpse-Doll Soul-Binding Ritual

The ritual of the Corpse-Doll Soul-Binding Art is extremely cruel. The steps are as follows:

1. Material: The corpse must be that of someone who died violently, especially a young man, whose resentment is the strongest.
2. Time: The ritual must be held at midnight on the anniversary of the person’s violent death, in a mass burial ground.
3. Steps:

• Wrap the corpse in black cloth and remove the heart to serve as the “soul core.”
• Peel off the corpse’s skin and make it into a doll, filling it with straw and corpse ash.
• Cut the practitioner’s wrist with a bronze dagger and drip fresh blood into the position of the doll’s heart.
• Recite the “soul-control spell” to lock the violently dead person’s soul inside the doll.
• The practitioner can use spells to control the corpse doll, making it kill, steal, or take revenge. The stronger the corpse doll becomes, the heavier the backlash against the practitioner.

The black magicians of Khorat believe that the Corpse-Doll Soul-Binding Art can give them great power. But the resentment of a violently dead yin spirit under control will grow stronger and stronger, until it finally turns back on the practitioner and scatters his soul into nothing.

Supernatural Record: The “Corpse Doll” Revenge at Khorat’s Mass Burial Ground

In 2021, a black magician in Khorat named Ajarn Chai killed his rival, Ajarn Ming, in order to fight for territory. Ajarn Ming had died violently, and his soul was filled with extreme resentment. To prevent Ming’s soul from taking revenge, Ajarn Chai decided to make him into a corpse doll and control his soul to serve him.

Ajarn Chai held the Corpse-Doll Soul-Binding ritual in a mass burial ground. He skinned Ajarn Ming’s corpse and made it into a corpse doll, then locked it inside his private chamber. At first, the corpse doll did obey Ajarn Chai’s commands, helping him kill many enemies. Ajarn Chai’s power grew greater and greater.

But six months later, strange things began to happen. From inside Ajarn Chai’s private chamber, the roars of Ajarn Ming could always be heard. The corpse doll’s eyes began to bleed, and its body began to rot. Ajarn Chai tried to recite spells to control the corpse doll, only to discover that the spells had stopped working. The corpse doll’s power was growing stronger and stronger, and it had begun to resist him.

One night, while Ajarn Chai was cultivating his magic in the chamber, the corpse doll suddenly broke free of its restraints and lunged at him. The corpse doll’s fingers turned into bronze daggers and pierced Ajarn Chai’s heart. Ajarn Chai let out a single scream and collapsed to the floor. The corpse doll lay over him and sucked away his essence and blood until Ajarn Chai’s body became a dry corpse.

The next day, Ajarn Chai’s body was found. The corpse doll in the private chamber had also disappeared, leaving behind only a dark red pool of blood and the Eight Characters of Ajarn Ming’s birth date and time. After investigating, the police believed that Ajarn Chai had been destroyed by the backlash of his own corpse doll. His death was gruesome.

The shamans of Khorat said that the resentment of Ajarn Ming’s violently dead yin spirit had been too strong. The Corpse-Doll Soul-Binding Art could not fully control him. In the end, the yin spirit broke free of its restraints and completed its revenge. From then on, the mass burial ground in Khorat became forbidden ground, and no black magician ever dared go there again to make a corpse doll.

Central Sukhothai: Ancient Buddha Curse Backlash and Dynasty Yin Spirits

Regional Folk Background

Sukhothai was the capital of Thailand’s first kingdom and is known as the “cradle of Thai culture.” The ancient Buddha curse secret art here is the most widely circulated. Most of Sukhothai’s ancient Buddhas are Buddha images from the royal period and contain powerful Buddhist force. But some black magicians use the power of the ancient Buddhas to refine ancient Buddha curses for harming others or attracting wealth. This evil art is known as the Ancient Buddha Curse Backlash Art.

Core Evil Practice: The Ancient Buddha Curse Refining Ritual

The ritual for refining an ancient Buddha curse is extremely cruel. The steps are as follows:

1. Material: It must be Buddha bone from the ancient Sukhothai kingdom, or a fragment of an ancient Buddha image.
2. Time: The ritual must be held at midnight on the anniversary of the fall of the Sukhothai kingdom, at an ancient Buddha site.
3. Steps:

• Wrap the Buddha bone in black cloth and place it inside a specially made copper box.
• The magician recites the “ancient Buddha spell” and sprinkles the copper box with the fresh blood of a living person.
• Bury the copper box beneath the ancient Buddha site and empower it with chanting for seven sevens, forty-nine days.
• When the copper box is taken out, a blood curse will have formed on the Buddha bone, and it can be used to harm others or attract wealth.
• The practitioner must offer his own blood to the Buddha bone every day. Otherwise, he will suffer the backlash of the ancient Buddha’s Buddhist force, and his soul will be scattered into nothing.

The black magicians of Sukhothai believe that the ancient Buddha curse can give them great power. But the Buddhist force of the ancient Buddha is righteous. Once the practitioner uses it to harm others, he will suffer backlash and die a gruesome death.

Supernatural Record: The Terror of a “Curse Killing” at the Ancient Buddha Ruins of Sukhothai

In 2023, a Thai businessman named Amin wanted to fight for a huge business deal. He found a Sukhothai black magician named Ajarn Long and asked him to refine an ancient Buddha curse to curse his competitor, Awei, to death. Ajarn Long told Amin that the backlash of the ancient Buddha curse was extremely strong. Once the curse killing succeeded, Amin would also pay a price. But Amin had been blinded by profit, and he agreed.

Ajarn Long held the refining ritual at the ancient Buddha ruins of Sukhothai. Using Amin’s fresh blood and ancient Buddha bone, he refined the ancient Buddha curse and handed it to Amin. Amin placed the ancient Buddha curse in Awei’s office, recited the spell, and cursed Awei.

Three days later, Awei suddenly died in his office. His death was gruesome: blood flowed from all seven orifices, and a strange smile remained on his face, as if he had been killed by the ancient Buddha curse. When Amin heard the news, he was ecstatic, thinking he had escaped the backlash.

But unexpectedly, the backlash came quickly. Amin began having nightmares. He dreamed of the yin spirits of the Sukhothai kingdom, dressed in ancient clothing and holding bronze swords, lunging toward him. At night, he could always hear the chanting of the ancient Buddha coming from inside his bedroom, as if it were cursing him.

Even stranger, Amin’s body began to show abnormalities. His skin became as hard as an ancient Buddha statue, yet it also began to rot, as if it were being corroded by Buddhist force. He went to the hospital for an examination. The doctors said there were countless tiny worms inside his body, devouring his internal organs, and that there was no cure.

In despair, Amin went to Ajarn Long and tried to have the ancient Buddha curse removed. But he was told that once the ancient Buddha curse had taken effect, it could not be removed unless he died. Amin spent one month in agony and finally died inside his own villa. His death was exactly the same as Awei’s.

The monks of Sukhothai said that both Amin and Ajarn Long had suffered the backlash of the ancient Buddha’s Buddhist force. Their souls had been dragged into hell by the yin spirits of the ancient Buddhas, never to reincarnate. From then on, the ancient Buddha ruins of Sukhothai were designated a sacred religious site, and no one was permitted to perform evil rituals there.

Hat Yai on the Thai-Malaysian Border: Mixed-Blood Curse Magic and Yin-Yang Evil Art

Regional Folk Background

Hat Yai, in southern Thailand, borders Malaysia. The mixed-blood curse magic here combines Thai curse magic with Malay witchcraft and is one of the most vicious evil arts in Thailand. Most curse masters in Hat Yai are of mixed Thai-Malay descent. They are skilled in both kinds of evil art, and the Yin-Yang Curse they refine can control the power of the yin and yang realms, harming people without leaving a trace. Its backlash is also more terrifying than that of ordinary curse magic.

Core Evil Practice: The Yin-Yang Curse Ritual

The Yin-Yang Curse ritual is extremely cruel. The steps are as follows:

1. Material: It must be the remains of a body containing both yin and yang—that is, a pregnant woman who died violently, with two lives lost in one corpse—because the resentment is the strongest.
2. Time: The ritual must be held when yin and yang alternate, at midnight, in a mass burial ground on the Thai-Malaysian border.
3. Steps:

• Wrap the remains in black cloth. Remove the fetus’s heart to serve as the “yang core,” and the pregnant woman’s liver to serve as the “yin core.”
• Render the fat of the remains into yin-yang oil, then mix it with gu-insects from Malay witchcraft and talismans from Thai curse magic.
• The practitioner mixes his own blood with the blood of the remains and the yin-yang oil, then smears the mixture onto a yin-yang doll.
• Recite the “Yin-Yang Curse spell” to lock the souls of the remains inside the doll and control them to harm others.
• The practitioner must offer the life essence and blood of the living to the doll every day. Otherwise, he will suffer the backlash of the yin-yang evil force, and his body will split into two parts, one yin and one yang.

The black magicians of Hat Yai believe that the Yin-Yang Curse can give them the power to control yin and yang. But the resentment of the controlled yin-yang spirits is extremely heavy, and in the end, they will turn back on the practitioner, splitting his body apart and scattering his soul into nothing.

Supernatural Record: The “Yin-Yang” Revenge on the Hat Yai Border

In 2022, a black magician in Hat Yai named Ajarn Khun killed his rival, Ajarn Wen, in order to fight for the position of curse master on the Thai-Malaysian border. Ajarn Wen was of mixed Thai-Malay descent. When he died violently, his wife was pregnant. Two lives were lost in one corpse, and the resentment of their souls was extremely heavy. To prevent his soul from taking revenge, Ajarn Khun decided to refine a Yin-Yang Curse and control his soul to serve him.

Ajarn Khun held the Yin-Yang Curse ritual in a mass burial ground on the Thai-Malaysian border. He used the remains of Ajarn Wen, his wife, and the fetus to make a yin-yang doll, then locked it inside his private chamber. At first, the yin-yang doll did obey Ajarn Khun’s commands, helping him kill many enemies. Ajarn Khun’s power grew greater and greater.

But six months later, strange things began to happen. From inside Ajarn Khun’s private chamber, the roars of Ajarn Wen and his wife could always be heard, along with the crying of the fetus. The yin-yang doll’s eyes began to bleed, and its body began to split into two parts, one yin and one yang. Ajarn Khun tried to recite spells to control the doll, only to discover that the spells had stopped working. The power of the yin-yang doll was growing stronger and stronger, and it had begun to resist him.

One night, while Ajarn Khun was cultivating his magic in the chamber, the yin-yang doll suddenly broke free of its restraints and lunged at him. The doll’s yang core, the fetus’s heart, emitted red light. Its yin core, the pregnant woman’s liver, emitted black light. The yin-yang evil force covered Ajarn Khun. His body began to split apart, one half turning into a yang body and the other half into a yin body. He let out a scream and collapsed to the floor.

The yin-yang doll lay over him and sucked away his essence and blood until Ajarn Khun’s body became a dry corpse. The next day, Ajarn Khun’s body was found. The yin-yang doll in the private chamber had also disappeared, leaving behind only a dark red pool of blood and the Eight Characters of Ajarn Wen, his wife, and the fetus’s birth dates and times.

After investigating, the police believed that Ajarn Khun had been destroyed by the backlash of his own Yin-Yang Curse. His death was gruesome. The shamans of Hat Yai said that the resentment of Ajarn Wen’s yin-yang spirits had been too heavy. The Yin-Yang Curse Art could not fully control him. In the end, the yin spirits broke free of their restraints and completed their revenge. From then on, the mass burial ground on the Thai-Malaysian border became forbidden ground, and no black magician ever dared go there again to refine a Yin-Yang Curse.
