Sui generis
A similar case that led to the use of the label "sui generis" is the relationship of New Caledonia relative to France, because the legal status of New Caledonia can aptly be said to lie somewhere between a French overseas collectivity and a sovereign nation. Although other examples of such status for other dependent or disputed territories may exist, this arrangement is unique within the French realm.
List of supernatural beings in Chinese folklore
"Shui gui" () are the spirits of people who drowned. They lurk in the place where they died, drag unsuspecting victims underwater, and drown them to take possession of their bodies. This process is known as "ti shen" (), in which the spirit returns to life in the victim's body while the victim's spirit takes the "shui gui"'s place and constantly seeks to take control of another living person's body.
