Adze

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adze is a vampire or a ghost with vampiric abilities which has its origin in the mythology of the Ewe , an ethnic group of West Africa ( Ghana , Togo , Benin ). Adzen can appear in the form of fireflies as well as take on human form.

The vampire is able to take control of the victim. He especially sucks the blood out of children , but is also known to drink coconut milk or palm oil , which was therefore used for hunting or protection from him.
