Armenki
Variations: Armenci, Ermenki, Ermenlijki,
Jermijki, Lehusnitsi (“devil”), Leusi, NAVI, S’rmjani
From southern Bulgarian folklore come the demonic ghosts known as armenki. This type of
demon is created whenever a child is aborted, dies
unbaptized, or comes into the world as a stillborn.
An armenki can also be created when a woman
dies and is not given a proper Christian burial or
is not buried with the proper protective objects.
One would suppose that the latter is the more
common method of creation for this type of
demon, as the name translates loosely to mean
“Armenian women”; however, there is no connection. In all likelihood the name armenki probably came from the Greek word eirmarmene,
which translates as “fate.”
Armenki prey nearly exclusively on young
mothers and their children. They leave their
graves at night and call out to anyone who will
listen, begging to be baptized.
