Is that how they used to explain toddlers back then?
more likely autism.
its the age when they might start showing symptoms. it was easier for them to accept their child was replaced by a monster and the only way to bring them back is by torture and abandoned in the forest, than accepting that their child is not neurotypical
Opposite for bichura/archura from Turkic mythology.
The male mimics human sounds to lure people into woods where they tickle the person to death.
Meanwhile the female just lives in your house, feeds chickens if happy, or breaks your plates if mad. Oh also they come out at night to spin.
(Omg that’s so me :3)Doesn’t do it for me; I grew up camping in the deep woods, told tales of wendigos and skinwalkers. I need the creepy-er!
And steal their underwear for profit!
That is so unfair
