There's plenty of stories many of them about Horror, with basic principles; i.e. stay inside, stay away from strangers.

But one in particular is about one story of the Demon-Man.

Every night as a person walks through the woods someone would apparently see a demonic creature with the head of a monster and the body of a man. And as that person takes a glimpse of it the creature would look back with its huge eyes. It would mesmerize you and wouldn't be able to move. If you keep looking at it it will eventually walk towards you with nothing but blank eyes.

Tiyanak which is the one about a demon in which it is a shape-shifter, its second form being the baby. Of course it's a baby so people would try to find it and be lured in by its cry. Of course, it's a horror story so the victims would usually die. However, there are ways to repel them, garlic, putting your clothes inside out. The latter being that it would humor the Tiyanak so, that it would let the victim go.
