We have the standard alpine and Central European folklore, as well as many Slovene specialities. The Central European or alpine specialities I would mention are parkelni (Slovene version of Krampus - we have several instead of just one like the Austrians and the Bavarians) and divja jaga (the wild hunt) and the most well known Slovene thing is kurenti, which come from a lesser old Slovene deity, Kurent, who was a joker and a prankster. The kurenti are in a way similar to parkelni except they wear white/gray furs and cowbells and their job is to scare the winter away. Scaring away winter is also the purpose behind pust, a holiday when people dress up in costumes. That's also the time to eat doughnuts with marmelade. There are other things I could write about but only if people are interested.
Anyway, pic related: parkelni with their "prey"; they catch people, often tying them up or putting chains around them and then making them pray.
We have this pink dolphin with downs syndrome that becomes a man at night and rapes our wives.

We have watermelon heads, pretty sure it was actually true, but where i'm from theres a story about a family of people who lived in the middle of the woods and would stalk around and follow children and abduct them or some shit, but their heads were big like watermelons, fleshy, veiny and tiny beady eyes. dunno the what its all about just know we talked about them as kids

There's also Nuuttipukki. He's kinda like the Santa Claus in American mythology, but instead of bringing gifts, he brings you a bundle of sticks and shreks the house that fails to provide him munchies and alcohol.
>>60787932
We have something similar, a spirit that possesses a pile of hay, becomes a Yule goat and visits farms, inspecting the cleaning and demanding booze, lest he wrecks the place.
There's also the Deildegast, a ghost of someone who tried to move border stones to get more land, and is condemned to attempt to move the stones back to their original location, always failing at the last moment and letting out a shriek. Usually heard in the forest, so probably this is the shriek of owls in the night that led to the legends.
You mustn't go to river or sea during Urabon'e (Buddhism event)
Because it's the time when your ancestral spirits come home from the afterlife that gate is the other side of sea and river, if you swim or have a fishing, you would be caught by evil spirits.
Imbunche: According to legend, the invunche is a first-born son less than nine days old that was kidnapped by, or sold by his parents to, a Brujo Chilote (a type of sorcerer or warlock of Chiloé). If the baby had been christened, the warlock debaptizes him.
The Brujo chilote transforms the child into a deformed hairy monster by breaking his right leg and twisting it over his back. When the boy is three months old his tongue is forked and the warlock applies a magic cream over the boy's back to cause thick hairs. During its first months the invunche is fed on black cat's milk and goat flesh,[1] and then with human flesh from cemeteries.[2]
Besides guarding the entrance to the warlock's cave, the invunche is used by warlocks as an instrument for revenge or curses. And, because it has acquired magical knowledge over its lifetime spent guarding the cave, even if the invunche is not initiated on wizardry, it sometimes acts as the warlock's advisor.

Why break his leg?

>>60790230
>Batsquatch
Are you fucking serious?
>>60790001
so he can't escape, and to make him lose his human appearance.
I found more information: "When a witch wants to enter the cave guarded by an Invunche must make a reference and give a osculus nigrus (black kiss, kiss on the anus) similar to that European witches gave the devil when seen in their covens."

Inugami is the spirit of dog that possesses to curse. It's popular in Kansai area.
How to make Inugami
You lock a hungry dog up and put food in front of it. When the dog is dying, you chop its neck, and the head flies to bite food.
You burn it, put the bone into a container, hide it in the cabinet or under the floor. It will be your Inugami.
How to work Inugami
Once Inugami recognizes what you want, it possesses someone to achieve your success.
For example, if you want money, Inugami possesses the rich and causes some diseases. Finally he bring money to you to get rid of diseases.
The conductor of Inugami and those who are possessed are called Inugamitsuki (means possessed by Inugami).
If you are possessed by Inugami, your son and daughter are going to be possessed as well.
Inugami isn't always submissive, sometimes it injures you.
So Inugamitsuki is kept away from non-Inugamitsuki.

*evil ghost

Sounds like the typical myth used by women around the world to explain pregnancies for cheating.
Hidarugami is the evil spirit that causes deadly sudden hunger during walking in the mountain.
If you are possessed by Hidarugami, you will be hungry, tired, paralyzed and can't move anymore.
In some area, it has even a real body. In such case, it looks like Gaki (demon that suffer from eternal hunger, from Buddhism) and asked a traveller that he ate chazuke (you can imagine light meal). He answered yes and Hidarugami tear his stomach to eat rest of rice in his stomach.
You can leave rations to prevent Hidarugami from possessing because if you are possessed by Hidarugami, eating something defeat it.

In Northern English folklore, the Barghest or Barguest , is a mythical monstrous black dog with huge teeth and claws.There is also a story of a Barghest entering the city of York occasionally, where, according to legend, it preys on lone travellers in the city's narrow Snickelways.
Besides taking the form of a large black dog with fiery eyes, it could also become invisible and walk about with the sound of rattling chains. At the death of any notable person the barghest would appear, followed by all the other dogs of the local region in a kind of funeral procession, and begin howling and baying. It may also foretell the death of an individual by lying across the threshold of his or her house. It is sometimes said that like the vampire the barghest is unable to cross rivers.
Another ancient meme that seemingly has ties to today's world is the bear.
To ancient Finns the bear was A sacred animalm, an apple of the forest, and it's real name was not to be ushered. so the people came up with all sorts of nicknames for it.
The Stüpp is a kind of Werwolf from the rhineland.
Manifesting as a black wolf at crossroads, cementarys and places were people died violently, he ambushes and jumps on peoples backs and clings to them, sending them into panic while sucking up their lifeforce.
Hearing churchbells, throwing him a piece of cloth he attacks as a substitute while fleeing or pressing his head with a cruzifix can safe one.
During the witchburnings, the story got altered to fit sorcerers who wore enchanted belts made of wolfpelt in order to ambush people and do as described above.
Besides the obvious folklore around the once and future king and that the south west has shit tons of folklore. A recent one is the Beast of Dartmoor, which was rumoured to be a giant panther that stole people's sheep at night and killed foxes.
We also had buccas, which are like leprechauns mixed with gnomes and were said to collapse tin mines when folks weren't looking as a joke, and people used to leave the crust of their pasties in the mines to lure them down and away from the more fragile passages.

Kapre is a Philippine mythical creature that could be characterized as a tree giant. It is described as being a tall (7 to 9 ft), dark, muscular creature. Kapres are not necessarily considered to be evil. Kapres may make contact with people to offer friendship, or if it is attracted to a woman. If a Kapre befriends any human, especially because of love, the Kapre will consistently follow its "love interest" throughout life.
Kapre's are usually found laying around large trees while smoking tobacco.
The origin of the monster may have been escaped nigger slaves that the Spanish colonizers brought along.
Ancient Finns believed that birds flew to Lintukoto (home of the birds) for the winter.
They got there by following the Milky Way, which is why we now call it Linnunrata (the bird's path)
The banshee is often described in Gaelic lore as wearing red or green, usually with long, disheveled hair. She can appear in a variety of forms. Perhaps most often she is seen as an ugly, frightful hag, but she can also appear as young and beautiful if she chooses. In some tales, the figure who first appears to be a banshee or other cailleach (hag) is later revealed to be the Irish battle goddess, the Morrígan. A female spirit in Irish mythology who heralds the death of a member of one of the prominent Gaelic families, usually by shrieking or keening. Her name is connected to the mythologically-important tumuli or "mounds" that dot the Irish countryside, which are known as síde (singular síd) in Old Irish
It's just one off the top of my head besides the obvious few.
