Superstitions (and other sorts of taboo, referred to locally as fady) vary from town to town and region to region. In many cases, the aye-aye is considered an evil spirit, if you see one or one points at your with its skinny middle finger, then you are marked for death. People also think it kills and eats their chickens (which it doesn't, although it will eat the eggs), and they think it can kill people in their sleep by puncturing their aorta with its skinny finger.

Often, Malagasy people will kill it on sight and hang its body up on a nearby road so that travelers will take the bad spirit away with them. There are even recorded cases where people burned down their entire village and moved because an aye-aye walked through the middle of it.
