Prolagus commented on the word maria farranka
Maria Farranka is a woman, or a ghost, that lives in underground tunnels and sleeps in a cocoon at the bottom of a well. When kids plays near a well, she catches them and pulls them down. Kids are then transformed into piglets and kept there forever.

If I'd heard that as a child, I'd be afraid of wells forever. Is there a word for a fear of wells?
