have anyone heard of the Barok,the skeletal ghost that destroys Indians by slicing and eating their innards?

Indians as in India, or Native Americans?

Native americans

ask Piney then...

I'm sick of that!
"hey, I'm an Indian"
"oh, so you're from... eh... were are you from?"
"Gah! I'm from India, can't you tell from the way I speak?"

Why can't you get two different words?
And, no, I don't need the story how Christofer Columbus thought America was India...

hey, nessie dude, you said on the community board you were on vacation, so why you still here??

Are you sure of the spelling?

I am not on vacation now,when Christmas begins I'm goin to Florida to see my mom's folks!And,teapot,I am not too sure of my spelling,but I know it's pronounced Bay Rock...

Some Native Americans could find this offensive. And I never heard of this cryptid, and now I wish I never did. I highly doubt it's existance

I have just read about it in a very old book and,well I thought it looked pretty cool,and I know about it,so...

. . . . . .

I will see if I can find anything.

I found this Review of Adirondack Ghosts: Stories of Spirits in New York

containing this quote:



You may want to see if your local library carries the book.

I can't find any legend or cryptid called Barok.

there was a childrens book Skeleton Man by Joseph Bruchac (looks like it could be pronounced kinda like "Bay Rock" if you were drunk and missing several teeth)

A part of the book is suppose to be based on a Native American legend about a man too lazy to hunt. He becomes so hungry that he eats his own flesh until there’s nothing left but bones, then, still hungry, devours his family.

Not really a crypid, it sounds more like a fable telling you "Don't be lazy. Hunt or you'll kill your family."

edit: what book did you see it in? (and how did you get a pronuciation, but not a spelling from a book anyway??)

!?!?!??!?!?!?!? Uhhuh...

And... that's suppose to mean ... What?

That means, what the heck, Ooookay, lalaala,mommy!, Ummmmm..., and Eep?

Ive heard of this before it was a beast that used arrows or am i getting mixed up with a evil indian sprit

Infact I have the book that features it. It's called a 'Baykok'. It's a walking skeleton with red eyes and trasperent 'skin'. It kills only warriors with its club or invisble arrows.

The book I have is fitingly called 'The Enclyopedia of Things That Never Were.' I've had it since 00'.

Sorry to double post butmy space bar is broken and using the edit toolis a huge task.
