When we were young , most of us heard the stories of a supposedly mystical creature/animal called the 'bush baby' that was seen only at night ... It had large eyes and flurry horn and always made a sound like a crying baby at peoples' compounds and doors....
The animal would then kill and eat any unfortunate victim that comes to the aid of the 'crying baby'... Whether you came to rescue or not , it devoured ... How real was the story or was it just a myth someone made up... According to our forefathers , nobody was to go out ..when they heard the crying ... It scared the living day light out of us..
My neighbour was said :
"But on another day, such creature was crying while we were coming
Back from early morning stream, we had no choice than to confront.
We then discovered it was a very matured CAT (bush cat) that was crying...
I have a friend who said his mum told them the bush baby once terrorised their village some years back, ate unsuspecting women and children. I still occassionaly hear babies crying at night in my neighbourhood where their absolutely no baby but fear nogo gree pesin go check lol...
...
In conclusion ... This baby is still a mystery and also a myth...
