Bardha (English: 'the white one') is an Albanian mythological creature. According to old folklore, in order to appease them one distributes sugar or leaves cakes on the ground. It is similar to Zana e malit.[1][2] In Albanian popular belief they are pale, nebulous figures who dwell under the earth.[2]
