Leshy is a male woodland spirit in Slavic mythology. Leshies are terribly mischievous beings: they have horrible cries, and can imitate voices of people familiar to wanderers and lure them back to their caves, where the leshies will tickle them to death. #FolkloreThursday
Krampus is a companion of jolly old St. Nick.
He punishes children that misbehave, by throwing them in his sack or basket.
He is often seen with a birch branch that he uses to hit naughty children.

villain in #folklore? Y/n? The men who stole & hid away the sealskin of Selkie maidens so they cannot go home. This binds them to the land, forcing them into marriage but always she stares at the sea...longing to return. If she finds her skin she surely will. #FolkloreThursday
