Amok originated from the Malaysian/Indonesian word meng-âmuk, which when roughly defined means "to make a furious and desperate charge". According to Malaysian and Indonesian cultures, amok was rooted in a deep spiritual belief. They believed that amok was caused by the hantu belian, which was an evil tiger spirit that entered one's body and caused the heinous act. As a result of the belief, those in Indonesian culture tolerated amok and dealt with the after-effects with no ill will towards the assailant.
Personally I believe people are reading a bit too much into it lol ???
I give you in return ....... Sagas from Europe
In the Old Norse written corpus, berserkers were those who were said to have fought in a trance-like fury, a characteristic which later gave rise to the modern English word berserk (meaning "furiously violent or out of control"). Berserkers are attested to in numerous Old Norse sources. They were literally able to shapeshift into a bear's form. We British probably got our soldiers' bearskins via marauding Vikings and others trying to invade us. I think they probably drunk a lot of wine first!
I don't think I, personally, would be interested if it was set in another hot country. It doesn't match a ghostly theme somehow.
