The douen are non-gendered spirits of children who died unchristened and unbaptized. Their feet are twisted backwards and they wear a large hat to cover their lack of a face. Like children, they love to play pranks on people and mess around inside houses. If they hear the name of a child called by its parent in public, they mimic that voice and call the child's name to lead it astray. Using this same mimicry, they save animals caught in traps by leading hunters astray.
