>plakavac
The plakavc is a child spirit. Plakati means to cry so the literal translation would be (the one who cries). It is said that these are the lost souls of children who were not baptised before dying. As children dying was not that uncommon back in the day, and there was a higly held belief that you cannot bury someone who is not baptized in Christian cemeteries, people would bury their children on the outskirts of graveyards. It is said that these spirits scream and cry when the midnight hour passes beggin for their mothers and crying.

>the ghost wedding
When travelers walk in late hours of the night, usually returning to their homes. In the rural villages of the Balkans, they often hear music playing, seemingly from nowhere. Then the sound of people dancing singing and the sounds of carriages. And then out of nowhere a wedding procession appears to them. When the wedding is spotted by the traveler, it stops, and one one of them aprocahes him. It is usually the best man or the man getting married. And offers them a drink to celebrate the wedding. If the traveler accepts and takes a drink without crossing himself he will become a ghost and join the endless wedding procession, if he however accepts and makes the sign of the cross before taking a drink, the wedding will disappear and he will be left with the drink in his hand.

We have a fair amount of unusual mythological creatures honestly but our most common by far are variants of Hellhounds. There’s a traditional mythological “Black Dog” in basically every prominent town and village of the country, and the general pattern is the dog lingers near areas of death and suffering, ie prisons, cemeteries, the local hangman’s gallows, asylums etc. It differs from area to area but the dog is generally supposed to have glowing eyes and be either huge and hyper aggressive, or huge and unsettlingly calm. Supposedly, to see one is either a sign that death is coming for you, a sign of demonic presence, or a boon of good fortune and protection. I imagine the interpretation differs depending on how the dog acts, but I’m no expert.
It’s not common knowledge of course, there’s a lot more movement these days than there used to be. People don’t really learn these old regional folk tales so they tend to die out. Bit of a shame imo but life goes on
