The Origins of 25 Monsters, Ghosts, and Spooky Things

[Fatal Rewind]

Nice that they traced zombies back to what was probably THE first zombie book and movie ever starting in 1929. A lot of people don't know about that.

I didn't know, however that scrying (which I have heard of before) dates back to the Druids though. Interesting. Bram Stoker's Dracula also wasn't the first vampire story either, there was one decades before called The Vampyre. And the vampires from Eastern Europe weren't dashing pale guys, they were fat and bloated. Whee...

Creepy clicky

Chupacabra
The well-named chupacabra, which literally means “goat-sucker,”

Why is that so funny?

[Chris Johnson]

A lot I didn't know. Fun read this morning.

You warned me that it was creepy and I clicked anyway.

Every time I get a new calendar, I go through each month to see how many have a 'Friday the 13th'. We've had two this year and one last year.

[Anxious Susie]

I love factoids about Friday the 13th.

Fun for me to read in Japan very late at night and now before bed.

I still hate to think that mummies were real.

BBOY Trolls get eaten by the Err Bear luckily.

Bigfoot still could be real. At least I think it's possible.
