sounds like a Lithuanian "baubas"(a boogeyman hiding under a carpet) or "kaukas"(an evil spirit similar to troll) to me.kaka wrote:Mörksuggan, from Dalarna, Sweden (otherwise famous for the Dalecarlian horse).
I don't know if it actually does anything, I just like it. Wikipedia carries almost no information on it; only that "it was used to scare children, among other things".
I *think* that it might be something like a tomte, but I'm not sure.
I saw it translated as the Dark Sow once.
Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps, down new roads, armed with nothing but their own vision.

The *only* information I was able to find on it was this one thing my grandma (who was born and raised there) could tell me:JustasJ wrote:sounds like a Lithuanian "baubas"(a boogeyman hiding under a carpet) or "kaukas"(an evil spirit similar to troll) to me.
"Children were told by their parents not to go out at night or the Dark Sow would get them."
