This creature exists in the cultures of most European countries. Its undefined appearance makes it more terrifying.
In Germany, he is known as Schwarze Mann (Black Man).[3] He lives under the children bed, in the night forest and in the wardrobe.[3] In Germany the tag game Black Man is very popular. A similar game is British Bulldog.
