My 3 year old daughter recently told me she is being visited by a penguin at night in her room. It bites her fingers and tells her "No". From her description, it matches something I saw in my own bedroom a few months ago. It is not in human form, more like a rounded form that has 2 eyes and a mouth. More like a "Casper the friendly ghost" type entity. Her sleeping habits have changed, I find her outside of her room asleep on the floor now, and I have to pick her up and put her back in bed.

Has anyone heard of a child seeing a "Penguin" ghost? Or anything close to resembling something like a penguin? It didn't look like a penguin to me, more like the attachment below. Thank you!

Well, its really hard to tell. Parts of the drawing have Egyptian overtones. But the closest I could find to the description and a partial match to some of the features of the drawing is from an anchient Aboriginal myth about a race of creates called the Wondjina. The Wondjina were cloud and rain spirits who, during the Dream time, created or influenced the landscape and its inhabitants.

Poor thing!! The drawing looks a bit Incan or Mayan to me if that helps.

Thank you for the interesting information! I see what you are saying with the features. I see the resemblence in the facial features. I will look into the Wondjina, fascinating story! This representation also reminds me of the Venus of Willendorf. I love it!

I believe it is Mayan, thank you, TressesOfNephthys!
