Lore

Douen are the restless spirits of unbaptized children in Trinidadian and Tobagonian folklore, with backward feet and small hats. They mimic children's voices to lure living kids into the forest for abduction, serving as a cautionary tale about baptism, child safety, and the fate of the neglected dead.
