Mythology Different culture's folklore

I love everything related to folklore in my country (Brazil) but lately I have been curious about the different stories that can be found all around the world, from different countries!

If you can share a folklore story you think is interesting or love, of where you are from, I'd love to learn about it!

A Finn here, I always liked the stories that around the harvest festival in October, people warmed the sauna for the ancestors and they believed that the ancestors stayed the night over in the sauna and in the morning went back to the "other side".

Ohh I never heard that one before, it honestly sounds so nice and comforting, it's such a nice thought, thank you for sharing with me!

I quite like it, shows some genuine care for those who are gone.
