The Legend of the Kalu Kumaraya
The Incubus of Sri Lanka
The demons have always been recognized as fully grown beings, as they do not spring into existence by taking birth from a mother
Just as the tales of Incubus are found in folklore, similarly, the tales of a demon are quite popular in Sri Lanka, known as “Kalu Kumaraya”, which means Black Prince
He is also known as the "Incubus of Sri Lanka". He is said to be a handsome demon, causing young women to become intimated and drawn to him
Kumaraya was a prince in ancient times, an evil prince who was proud of his father's wealth and power. He always engaged in debauchery and kept an evil eye on young girls
Once he attempted to kill his father in order to steal his Kingdom, but he was failed and caught red-handed, after which he committed suicide out of shame
But even after death, he didn't get freedom from life, instead, he became a demon and remained on earth
His bad habits didn't go away, and he spent his daytime waiting in the shadows seeking beautiful young girls and women at the night
In earlier times, when there was no electricity, people used to sleep outside their homes, but the stories of Kalu Kumaraya started spreading rapidly across Sri Lanka
Many girls claimed to see him and many were also possessed by this Black Prince, causing drastic changes in their vocal pitch and facial structure
After these incidents, people started sleeping inside their homes and started taking various measures to keep this evil spirit away from them
