A Nightly Witch Terror

Description

At night, the witch, who turns into a human during daytime, remains asleep in her house while her soul leaves her body. This soul travels to other people's homes, opening locked doors with ease. The witch then sucks blood from various parts of the sleeping person's body, such as their feet, hands, or neck. Victims sometimes die on the spot, but others manage to fight back before their blood is fully drained. Those who lack the strength to resist might wake up their neighbours, who then help them to fend off the witch and save their lives. In the morning, the witch reverts to her human form and goes about her daily work. People recognize her as the same woman who, at night, sucks blood and sometimes kills her victims if they wound her during their resistance.
