Lietuvēns
In Latvian folk culture a Lietuvēns is thought to be a soul of a killed (strangled, drowned or hanged) person which attacks both people and domestic animals.[1] Sleep paralysis is thought to be torture or strangling by a Lietuvēns. When under attack, one must move the toe of the left foot to get rid of the attacker.[1]
