Sack Man

In Spain, el hombre del saco is usually depicted as a mean and impossibly ugly and skinny old man who eats the misbehaving children he collects.

[2] In Brazil, o homem do saco is portrayed as a tall and imposing adult male, usually in the form of a vagrant, who carries a sack on his back, and collects mean disobedient children for nefarious purposes.

In Honduras and Mexico, misbehaving children fear el Roba Chicos, or child-snatcher, which is very similar to Hombre del Saco.

In Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, buka (бука), babay (бабай), or Babayka (бабайка) is used to keep children in bed or stop them from misbehaving.

Children are told that Babay is an old man with a bag or a monster, usually hiding under the bed, and that he will take them away if they misbehave (though he is sometimes depicted as having no set appearance).

[citation needed] In the Western Cape folklore of South Africa, Antjie Somers is a Bogeyman who catches naughty children in a bag slung over his shoulder.

In Haiti, the Tonton Macoute (Haitian Creole: Uncle Gunnysack) is a giant, and a counterpart of Father Christmas, renowned for abducting bad children by putting them in his knapsack.
