Kumao mexican The Ladies in White ofThe One That Takes in the Dark From the folklore of the Ilocano and Isneg people of Northern Luzon, the Kumao is a hideous, man like creature that preys on children. It abducts them in the night, bleeding them to death by pulling out their fingernails one by one. A warning passed down through generations: when the sun goes down, the children come inside.
