Nacht-Alb

No cosmogonic or narrative origin is recorded in the provided material. The archival fragment presents the Nacht-Alb not as a detailed mythic character with a creation story but as an older German personification or fabled being used to explain awakenings from fear at night (the text links the term with fear of "the black man" and "the dark powers of the night"). The source treats the Nacht-Alb as a vernacular explanation for pavor nocturnus rather than as a fully elaborated origin myth.

The supplied archival excerpt gives no physical description. It simply names the entity as "Ein Fabelwesen das Kinder nachts besucht und ihnen Angst macht" (a fabled being that visits children at night and frightens them). Therefore details such as form, size, clothing, or other visible traits are not recorded in the provided material.

According to the archive excerpt, the Nacht-Alb's reported behaviour is to visit children at night and cause them to awake screaming and inconsolable; the phenomenon is equated with the medical term pavor nocturnus (night terrors). The source frames the Nacht-Alb as an agent or personification of nocturnal fear and nightmares (the text notes "daher der Name Albträume"). No other powers (physical harm, possession, speech, movement) are described in the provided sources.
