A myling is the vengeful spirit of a child who lures adults to their deaths.
==Episodes==
===[[12.03 The Foundry]]===
After encountering the [[ghost]] of [[Lucas Kellinger]], Sam suspects him to be a myling due to his spirit having appeared in a house where adults were lured to their deaths. However, [[Mary Winchester]] recognizes that Lucas meant her no harm and was scared and discovers that Lucas is instead a victim of [[Hugo Moriarty]] - the true culprit.
==Mylings in Lore==
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myling Mylings] in Scandinavian folklore, are the souls of unbaptized children, who are forced to wander the earth until they force someone to give them a proper burial. It is believed that a myling will jump on the back of a lone wanderer and demand they take it to a graveyard, so it may rest on hollow ground. Mylings are said to be large and grow heavier when they approach a graveyard, if the person carrying the myling cannot make it to the cemetery, the myling will kill them out of rage.
