Published:
2.5K Views

Description

In Poland, children are frightened by Bubak (also, bebok, babok, or bobok) or hastrman (Bugbear, scarecrow, respectively) who is portrayed as a man with a sack. He takes children and also adults, and is known for hiding by riverbanks and making a sound like a lost baby, in order to lure the unwary. He weaves on nights of the full moon, making clothes for his stolen souls, and has a cart drawn by cats.

When I first saw the title I misread it as "Babadook," which was a movie I saw a while ago on Netflix. No idea if the Babadook was actually part of a myth or just made up for the movie, but all the same, I like this drawing. xD Though the info sorta reminds me of Krampus.
