Tiyanak (Demon child)

Tiyanak (Demon child) Or impakto are creatures which in the Philippine mythology imitate the form of the child. 

It usually takes the form of a new born baby and cries like one in the jungle to attract unwary travellers.

Once in the jungle to attract unwary travellers.once it is picked up by victim it reverts to its true form and attacks the victims. The Tiyanak also delights in leading travelers astray or in kidnapping children....

Some say the tiyanak are babies who died before receiving baptism rites.

After death, they go to a place known as limbo.

A chamber of hell were unbaptized dead people fall into and transform into evil spirits.

These goblins return into mortal realms in the form of goblins to eat living victims.The tiyanak can also be the offspring between a demon and a human or an aborted fetus which comes to life revenge on its mother.
