Have you guys heard of the desert ghoul? 🧞

In the Arabian folkloric sense?

It is considered a mythical creature that appears and disappears suddenly at night in the desert and dark isolated places.

It looks like a moving flame 🔥and believed to be a form of demon/jinn that leads people astray in the darkness to get them lost.

There are many sightings and stories of these strange lights since the ancient times.

They look like this:

Some people try to take a more scientific approach and say they are insects that reflect lights but nobody knows for sure. Many times they appear in absolute total darkness without any light source. Also they can be big. Like a ball of fire.

I don’t believe or disbelieve them but I find them intriguing for sure. Lol

Any similar stuff from your culture?

I have seen light emitting insects in the dark. But they are very small. About what you have wrote i read little bit on Google. It said they were doomed to stay on earth and can shape shift. In order to do so they need to consume human flesh and then they immitate the memories of that person. They also shapeshift into hyena or wolve. It's not clear but many mysterious things on earth exist.

That's true. Some say ghouls are just mischievous and like to mess around. Or they can be super malicious with the aim to kill & eat humans 😨@littlepuppywantanewlife
