Latinos: are Puerto Ricans the only ones who grew up believing in "El Cuco"

[-jose-]

I grew up scared sh•t of " El Cuco"
my family will always say stuff like,
"cuidao que el cuco te va a comer"
or
"si no te portas bien te va a llevar el cuco"
never seen him,
don't know how he looks like,
but I was scare of him,
I won't even dare googling his image.
.
if not "El Cuco",
what imaginary creature did you grow up believing in?

Mi mama siempre me decia, "Ya metete porque ahi biene El Robachicos."
Una ves no le hacia caso y me dijo ahi biene el robachicos y apunto a un señor que venia caminando, lo vi y me meti al casa asustado, siempre que lo veia rapidamente me metia a la casa asustado.
Una ves estaba visitando a un amiguito cuando llego su papa, era el robachicos..

"La Mano Pachona" now that's some scary stuff right there..

"La mano en la Panocha" is more of my liking..

"Duermete niño, duermete ya si no vendrá el cuco y te comerá"

My grandpa always told me of el "hombre del saco" too.

Si no te portas bien viene el hombre del saco y te llevará.
