Asanbosam

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Asanbosam is a mythical creature similar to vampires reported by the Ashanti living in the south of Ghana and some tribes on the Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) and Togo . An asanbosam hardly differs in appearance from normal people. They are said to have men, women and children who all have iron teeth, legs with hook-like appendages and six arms. They should live in the jungle, dangling in the branches and attack anyone who is unfortunate enough to pass their tree.
