Hinnagami are wish-granting dolls created through black magic rituals. They are said to fulfill any desire their owner has on a single condition: the owner must never stop making wishes.
Since hinnagami are the manifestation of human greed, they relentlessly hound their owner, constantly demanding to know what their next wish is.
Once a hinnagami grants a wish, it immediately asks, “What’s next?” The moment the owner makes another wish, the hinnagami grants it instantly and repeats, “What’s next?” This cycle continues without end, eventually overwhelming the owner.
Ghosts, Spirits and Paranormal Entities from Asian Folklore and Mythology (Book 1) contains more information about hinnagami.
