if you were told the legend of la llorana when you were younger, were you like terrified at night? One of my adoptive mums is Lithuanian, and my brothers asked her to tell my siblings a story her parents told her, so she told us about Baubas, and I would walk over carpets and any dark places to avoid it, and on the other hand my other mum is half Estonian (her dad was Estonia and her mum was Irish) and Külmking freaks me out to this day, so I’ve been wondering if La Llorana is told all the time in Latin America?

Baubas

In the hidden recesses of Lithuanian folklore, nestled deep within the tapestry of Baltic mythology, resides a creature called Baubas. This enigmatic entity is an integral part of the nocturnal imaginations of the Baltic people, a crafty demon that could be lurking in the shadowy corners of your room this very moment. Far from a hulking monstrosity, Baubas is a diminutive figure, but one whose appearance is startling enough to freeze you in your tracks. Imagine something small yet oddly stretched—limbs elongated like dark strands of night, enabling it to fold itself into corners so snugly that you’d never suspect its presence. The creature’s form blends into the domestic landscape so seamlessly that you may wonder if it was always there, a sinister and natural part of your home’s architecture...
