Baubas or Babaušis (Boo)

The evil spirit in the house

Those, that have met Baubas, can‘t remember so much because of fear it instills. There are also those that say Baubas to have long wooden nails, others saw iron horns.

Baubas can catch naughty kids, put them in his bag and sell them at the market for some cake.

In the olden days kids were warned of Baubas. For example parents used to say: „Children,  Baubas is on its way to your corner, it is time to bed“.
