Ahkiyyini

The Ahkiyyini is a skeleton spirit in Inuit folklore.[1] Men who spend much of their time dancing or playing drums in life may continue to do so in death as an ahkiyyini. To make music, an ahkiyyini uses his arm bone as a drumstick to beat his scapula, which acts as a drum or xylophone. When he strikes this improvised instrument, the ahkiyyini causes the ground to tremble and rivers to turn violent, wrecking ships and killing their passengers.
