Polish folklore
3 records of Polish folklore — the beings, warnings and stories the tradition keeps, with sources.
PsotnikA mischievous domestic or farm spirit in Polish lore, closer to a trickster of chores and objects than a graveyard horror—still capable of spoiling work and temper.StrzygaIn Polish and related lore, a strzyga (or striga) is often a person born with two souls or two hearts who becomes a predatory undead after death. Folklore and later fiction should not be collapsed into one rule.TopielecIn Polish folklore a topielec or utopiec is often the restless soul of someone who drowned, waiting in river, pond, or swamp to pull others under. Overlaps with wodnik, but is not identical to the rusalka of neighbouring lands.
