It usually starts with a sound every human is hardwired to react to: a baby crying in the dark.

Imagine walking through a dense, pitch-black forest path at 2 AM when you suddenly hear it.
Your first instinct is to run toward the sound to help.

But according to the legends our parents told us, walking away is the only reason anyone survives to tell the tale.

We are talking about the terrifying truth behind the Egbere, the legendary "Bush Baby".
It’s not a child lost in the woods; it’s a biological trap designed to test your greed.

The creature offers a simple trade: its sleeping mat for infinite wealth. The price? Seven days of psychological torture that most people don’t survive.

We all heard these stories in boarding school, but researching the actual zoology behind the Bush Baby scream completely blew my mind.

I made a full video on Naijamyths breaking down the myth, the actual animal (the Galago), and the dark rumors of how some of the richest men in the 80s really made their money.

Due to community guidelines, watch the full breakdown here to see exactly what this creature looks like in the dark:

Let me know what you guys think in the comments. Knowing the risks, would you take the mat if you had the chance?
