Samcă

Samcă is an evil spirit that originates from Romanian folklore. This demonic creature is said to resemble a female human, but is hideously deformed. It appears tall and gaunt, with pale, deathly skin, blank eyes and long, dark hair. It has crooked fingers and toes ending in claws and has a pair of breasts that sag all the way down to the floor. Samcă is also capable of changing her form to deceive humans, assuming such forms as that of a pig, a spider or a hairless cat.

Samcă is a cruel and vicious creature that enjoys murder and torment. Legend has it that she appears at the end of the month in front of a child or a pregnant woman to either kill the hapless victim or cripple them. She is also known to curse unborn infants with a disease bearing her name; children that suffer from this curse are doomed to live short lives of constant pain, wracked with seizures and always crying.

The legend of Samcă also states that the demon has nine different names. If someone writes each of her names inside their house, she will not be allowed to enter. Another tale also states that Samcă was once sent by Satan himself to kill the infant Jesus Christ, but was thwarted by the archangel Michael.
