Sooo because you lovely nuffians are all from many diff countries, i thought it would be interesting to share your local legend/myth... I got one from my birthplace, it's about a blood eating monster. Legend said this thing is often fly trying to find a pregnant woman so they can suck her baby's blood or a newborn child's. It's form is a flying head with hanging entrails, unusual long tongue and gigantic fangs. Old ppl say that actually the monster is a person doing some black magic, their normal appearance change during the night. Also they can change into animals such as pigs or fly.... And until now ppl from my birthplace is still believing that legend.
There's a ghost from where I'm from that only comes out at night and it consists only of a womans head and her organs hanging from it floating around
I liv in a boring city so I will share a legend about a commen creature in sweden. There is a man living in a stream that play violin if you listens to the musik he will lure you to the water and drown you. Pretty much like the Kelpie expet It´s a man playing violin.
Once there was a man But he wasn't just a man He was also a pig But he wasn't just a pig He was also a bear. Manbearpig is real and walks amongst us.
I heard this one about honest politicians. They seem to show up briefly ever four years promising the sun the moon and the stars before disappearing back into the swamps from whence they came.
Judging from you legend, it seems that it is a manananggal of the philippines? If so then we have same legends
Pretty much whole Western religions and the organization who control them, First they brainwashed the people, Second they inject fear in there mind, Third they give them a rulebook, if you that this will happen to you and the results is brainless devotees of biggest myth in human history
