The Tokoloshe is the one many Africans are absolutely terrified of; it’s a small devilish spirit that can play tricks on you... or carry you away in the night. People have been known to raise their beds on bricks so that it can’t get them and huts are round to deprive it of corners to hide in.

Funny enough, it’s pretty much an Africanised description of our alien abduction stories. Make of that what you will.
