When I was a kid I heard the stories of a supposedly mystical creature / animal called the 'Bush Baby' that was seen only at night and always cry like a real crying baby.
*
According to the story teller, the animal would then kill and eat any unfortunate victim that comes to the aid of the 'crying baby'.
*
Currently, I have been hearing the cry of a baby around my hostel in Ozoro, Delta State for the past four nights which I supposedly think its the cry of a "Bush Baby".
*
I made a little research on google about it and I found out that the real bush baby is just a Wild Cat.
*
How real was the story or was it just a myth?
*
Please share your experience.

THANKS

You are 101 percent accurate.

The one our people regarded and mythically talk about as bush baby is called "imp"

The do, you just have to get out at night in forest areas to search..They are nocturnal animals, you won't find them running around at day time..

They are called egbere. But I don't think they exist.

Bush babies exist by that name is just a local African name . What is called bush baby is often times kaolas and sloths. The mat myth is however fake.
