The Romans believed that if people was not given a funeral, they would come back as Lemures.
The lemures (singular lemur) were shades or spirits of the evil or vengeful dead. They were the shades of those who were not given a proper funeral or burial and were not honoured by the living. They were vagrant, restless, unsatiated manes who could be vengeful and torment and terrify the living. They name was probably derived from larvae (singular larva; mask). They were shapeless and lurked in the darkness and its dread. The 9th, 11th and 13th of May were days dedicated to their placation by the households in the ritual called Lemuralia or Lemuria. The head of the household got up at midnight and cast black beans behind him with averted gaze. The Lemures were presumed to feast on them. Black was the appropriate colour for offerings to chthonic deities (see below). If these malevolent shades were dissatisfied with this offering, the head of the household could frighten them into flight by the loud banging of bronze pots.
