Meet the Soucouyant

(From Wikipedia) "The Soucouyant or Soucriant in Dominica, Trinidadian, Saint.Lucian, Grenadian and Guadeloupean folklore (also known as Ole-Higue or Loogaroo elsewhere in the Caribbean), is a kind of blood-sucking hag.The soucouyant is a shape-shifting Caribbean folklore character who appears as a reclusive old woman by day. By night, she strips off her wrinkled skin. In her true form, as a fireball she flies across the dark sky in search of a victim.Soucouyants suck people's blood from their arms, legs and soft parts while they sleep leaving blue-black marks on the body in the morning.
