Today I read...

"They may also visit a victim's house to make mischief. One informant told me that he had great trouble getting his house built because witches would come at night to disperse the sand pile (for making cement) with their naked bottoms. To travel to the victims‟ houses, witches use hyenas. According to Gray's informants, learning to ride the hyena is one of a witch's most difficult tasks. Valangi witches ride hyenas naked, and sit backwards, facing over the tail. They cover their bodies with oil so that if ever they are caught they can slip out of the captor‟s grasp. The hyenas are said to be so swift that a witch can travel to the farthest part of the country yet be back before morning. The witches make themselves invisible, but not the hyena. If a person encounters a hyena at night, chances are it is carrying a witch."

Needless to say, I was inspired.
