An Orek (Turkish: Örek, Azerbaijanese: Örək, Tatar: Өрәк or Öräk, Bashkort: Өрәк) in is an animated corpse brought back to life by mystical means such as witchcraft. The idea of Örek is present in some Turkic cultures. In some communities it is believed that a dead person can be turned into a Örek by a white dressed girl. Öreks are undead creatures regularly encountered in folk narratives and legends. They are typically depicted as mindless, reanimated corpses with a hunger for human flesh. Өрәк or Öräk means in Tatar and Bashkort 'soul' or 'ghost'.
