Borda (legendary creature) (original) (raw)
The Borda is a legendary creature that belongs to the culture of the Emilia-Romagna and other areas of the Po Valley in Italy. It is a sort of witch that appears, blindfolded and horrible, both at night and on foggy days and kills anyone who has the misfortune to meet her. It is a personification of the fear related to swamps and marshlands, and to ponds and canals, invoked by adults to scare children and keep them away from such potentially dangerous places.

(en) La Borda è una creatura leggendaria che appartiene alla tradizione dell'Emilia-Romagna e di altre aree della Pianura Padana, nota per abitare in zone acquitrinose nelle quali poteva uccidere tutti i passanti, specialmente bambini. Si tratta di una sorta di strega che appare, bendata, orribile, sia nelle ore buie che nelle giornate nebbiose e uccide chiunque abbia la sventura di incontrarla. È una personificazione della paura legata alle zone paludose, agli stagni, ai canali , invocata dagli adulti per spaventare i bambini e tenerli lontani da questi luoghi . (it) |
