Saxansaxo Posted June 1, 2013 ^^Lol at I start talking like arnold shwardzenegger, acudu billah... A close relative once went away with a man in hawd (for marriage) and one their way to his family he said he would get her some food or something. She went away to nearby bushes and thats when she saw somehing resembling a mixture of a bahal and a human being calling out her name. She survived it laakinse the next time she agreed to marry a man, he came to her father first instead lol. I wonder if they still exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mahiigaan Posted December 20, 2013 Qori ismaris, madakuti, dhegdheer, caws iyo biyo ku nool and other children stories are terrible. My scariest moments were when little aliens used visiting at night while sleeping. I was only 3 yrs old. This has continued for some time but I never saw any UFO crafts with them. My only option was to run as fast as I could but mom always used to catch me and calm me down. She never saw those little men who freak me out every nite but she knew I am running away from them.
