The Wendigo

The wendigo is often said to be a malevolent spirit, sometimes depicted as a creature with human-like characteristics, which possesses human beings. It is said to cause its victims a feeling of insatiable hunger, the desire to eat other humans, and the propensity to commit murder. In some representations, the wendigo is described as a giant humanoid with a heart of ice, whose approach is signaled by a foul stench or sudden unseasonable chill.

Spirits n’ Stuff

I’m delighted to announce that I have launched a new YouTube channel:

Spirits n’ Stuff

The following videos are just the beginning.  I have several projects planned for this channel, which is going to focus on spiritualism, urban legends, the paranormal and supernatural, cryptids, myths and legends, and the unknown.

Enjoy the following five videos, and you might want to leave the lights on. 

Bloody MaryYou’ve seen it in movies a million times. There’s a group of teen-age girls at a slumber party all standing in a darkened bathroom ahead of a mirror. They egg one girl on… “Do it! Go ahead, do it!” She faces the mirror, and in a frightened trembly voice says, “Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary…” And then mayhem follows. Who is Bloody Mary? 

History and legend gives us three possiblities: Queen Mary I, Mary Worth, and Elizabeth Bathory. Who are these women, and what might give them claim to Bloody Mary fame?

Shadow PeopleYou’ve seen them, that quick flicker of movement from a dark figure lurking in your peripheral vision. When you notice them, they move faster, scurrying to remain hidden. What are they? Where do they come from? Are they real? What did I see?

Black-eyed Children (BEKS)They’re just kids asking for help, you think, until you see their eyes, and you are consumed with a sense of overwhelming dread.

The Ouija BoardSo, how do you feel about ouija boards? Are you afraid of them? Do you love them? Do you use them? Do you think they’re evil, or do you find them an interesting and useful divination tool to use for spirit contact? What’s your take on the Ouija Board?

Soul Walk-insCan “other” souls inhabit a recently deceased body? Can a soul “move into” a body that is already inhabited by the original soul? Could the phenomenon of “walk-ins” explain Multiple Personality Disorder?

“Visions”… a short story

An Iraqi girl slinked through the grotesque shadows of the narrow alley. Clutched in her right hand, concealed beneath her black cloak, was the ice blue crystal. An eerie light seeped through the spaces between her fingers and cast a ghostly glow on her face…
