Unveiling the Dark Secrets of the Soucouyant Myth.#folklore #myst

The asema and the Caribbean soucouyant are comparable in many aspects.
In the instance of the soucouyant, an elderly woman strips off her skin at night to transform into a flying ball of fire.
The fireball demon then uses any crevice or opening to slip into sleeping quarters.
The blood of anyone she discovers within will be extracted.
Once her thirst is quenched, the soucouyant will shed her skin and revert to her human form.
Soucouyant hunters now have an opportunity to attack.
A heap of human skin that has been left behind by a soucouyant should be heavily salted.
The salt beneath her skin will cause her to become insane as soon as the soucouyant puts on the skin following her bloodsucking night.
In Haiti, the soucouyant is sometimes referred to as the loogaroo.
The loogaroo is merely gathering blood for her master, not consuming it herself.
The loogaroo returns to present the blood to the Devil after a night of collecting it.
