“Chosen immigration, not inflicted immigration” 1

The Azeman is a ghostly woman who haunts the villages of Surinam (Dutch Guiana) in northeastern South America. The unwelcome phantom bites a piece of flesh from the big toe of sleeping persons and saps their blood 2

Malaysians have the langsuir, the vicious ghost of a woman who died in childbirth, whose long hair barely conceals the hollow in her back. South Americans have the azeman, an obsessive hag 3 that drains the life-force of sleepers.

  3. “The word “hag” comes from the Old English hagge or hoegtesse, a witch. The specific European monster known as a hag or nightmare is a hellish crone that visits sleeping victims, riding their backs throughout their dreams. When the victim awakens looking disheveled the next day, he is said to be “hag-ridden.” The “mare” of the word “nightmare” pertains not to a female horse, but instead to the Old English mare, a demonic hag. So the word “nightmare” actually stems from the visitations of such monsters. “ [back]
