Okay, a lot of these words you're attributing to Antigua, aren't Antiguan. It's jumbie.

In Guyanese folklore, a 'baku' manifests as a being with an unusually large head with a body the length of a baby. He comes out of a 'Dutch bottle' like a djinn/genie from a łamp. He similarly grants favours after being bribed with milk and bananas.
