Weird Legends: The Soucouyant

What exactly is a Soucouyant?

That is a very interesting question, and here’s the answer: a soucouyant is a shape-shifting bloodsucking creature. At first the creature looks like an old woman (though in some legends, it doesn’t have to just be an old woman), then she goes in her true form, a fireball, where she flies across the night sky in search of a victim. They come from entering the home from going through keyholes, cracks, and crevices.
