well my dad is from India, and he him and my grandparents used to tell my brother and me stories about creatures that roamed around at nite, they called them "chiralles" (pronounced, 'ch-ray-lees')
They were actually really spooky stories. It was said they looked just like normal people, but they're feet were backwards, they only came out at nite, and i remember something about the trees too, but its slipped my mind.

Aside from ghosts,I think its fairly obvious that becuase of the lack of sightings(this being that they actually exist) would mean that the backwards feet thing was a genetic screw up(like a 2 headed frog) they would have flourished like forward footed animals..Thus survival of the fitist.In this world backwards feet dont help anything out so obviously they will be rare and become extinct.
We all seen multi headed animals,extra legs,less legs ect ect...I wouldnt be suprised in the least if i saw a animal or person with backwards feet because birth defects are a normal part of life

The image of backwards feet definitely sends a message of being un-natural, and a creature that you cannot follow, like a leprachaun or a unicorn.
A person with "backwards feet" obviously should be walking away from you, which is what you hope for, that the dead will go away. The dead approaching the living is unnatural and against the order of the world, it is as out of place as a living person walking around backwards. And that is exactly what I think the symbolism represents.
