The Ancient Arab Spirits Who Have Been Creeping People Out For Centuries
Best known for inspiring Aladdin's genie, jinn are shape-shifting spirits dating back to pre-Islamic Arabia. They are said to haunt the world to this day.

While the concept of jinn (or djinn) might seem unfamiliar at first, these legendary creatures have actually been introduced to the world at large through the genie in Disney’s Aladdin. But unlike the movie, these shape-shifting spirits aren’t traditionally seen as friendly.

Though the supernatural beings have been somewhat overlooked in the scientific world, they’ve also withstood the test of time in terms of folklore. The widespread belief in these ancient Arab spirits has survived centuries of generational changes, including the introduction of Islam.
