In the Haitian voodoo cult, these are skeletal spirits. They are described as skinless people. They can take a variety of forms from animals and humans to unknown creatures.

They attack people and maim them (sometimes leaving them alive), drink blood. Baka can send damage and diseases to both people and animals.

Baka is the Latin spelling of the name of the Haitian spirit of Baka, a colloquial derivative of the English "back—up" - "to return".
