(You can also google EMPUSAE, in the wikipedia entry for
Empusa there is a paragraph in the Life of Apollonius section):
According to 1st century Life of Apollonius of Tyana, the empousa
is a phantom (phasma) that took on the appearance of an attractive
woman and seduced a young philosophy student in order eventually to
devour him. In a different passage of the same work, when Apollonius
was journeying from Persia to India, he encountered an empousa, hurling
insults at it, coaxing his fellow travellers to join him, whereby it ran
and hid, uttering high-pitched screams.
