I believe that in Tibet this phenomenon is called a “Tulpa”.
Tulpa is a concept in mysticism and the paranormal of a being or object which is created through spiritual or mental powers.[1] It was adapted by 20th-century theosophists from Tibetan sprul-pa (Tibetan: སྤྲུལ་པ་, Wylie: sprulpa) which means “emanation” or “manifestation.”[2]
Spiritualist Alexandra David-Néel claimed to have observed these[which?] mystical practices in 20th century Tibet.[1] She described tulpas as “magic formations generated by a powerful concentration of thought.”[8]:331 David-Néel believed that tulpas could develop a mind of its own: “Once the tulpa is endowed with enough vitality to be capable of playing the part of a real being, it tends to free itself from its maker’s control.
This, say Tibetan occultists, happens nearly mechanically, just as the child, when her body is completed and able to live apart, leaves its mother’s womb.”[8]:283 She claimed to have created such a tulpa in the image of a jolly Friar Tuck-like monk, which later developed a life of its own and had to be destroyed.[9] David-Néel raised the possibility that her experience was illusory: “I may have created my own hallucination”, though she said others could see the thoughtforms that she created.[8]:176
