The Kuri will follow a victim endlessly, whispering into their ears like a ghost and appearing in their dreams, slowly driving them insane until they begin to see the Kuri's hideous face in place of friends or loved ones - after being driven insane the victim is pursued further by the Kuri, who demands they return to the grave where their terrible encounter first began.
Victims try but always fail to return to the grave, dying of exhaustion and fear - the last thing a victim will hear is the Kuri telling them how it shall enjoy dragging their soul to Hell and as they die the vicious cycle continues as the Kuri waits by their grave for the next victim to arrive.
