Well, we have taken the Samhain tradition and made it into Halloween. I remember a lot of people at churches started to not celebrate Halloween when this fact came out a few years back.

LOL Just make them go to their rooms for a while and chill. A good glass of red wine would help his perspective a bit too. Good luck with the kids.

I've read a little of everything in my lifetime. I am currently into Stephen King and Dean Koontz. Tomorrow I may be onto something else. I've read a lot of historical fiction which I love and autobiographies and biographies of many people. It really just depends upon what mood I'm in. And...

Yup, another total prophecy non believer. Remember when everyone and their brother went nuts December 31st, 1999? But in the end, it was only some computers that did. Same thing will happen then. I remember tons of people gathered in church December 31st, 1999, even people who didn't GO to...

Sounds like something I would do GreekGoddess31. I love to wander around all the old graveyards and see what I can scare up. Sometimes I've seen things I can't explain.

Has anyone heard of this type of Norse mythological torture? The gist of it is they would take a prisoner and lay them face down. Then they would cut a large cut on each side of the spine and detach the ribs from the spine. Then they would spread them out before crucifying the victim. Sounds...

It makes you wonder what else is wrong in the history books. I have always wondered what was in the people's mind when they domesticated any animal. Don't you wonder what was the first person who ate an egg was thinking?

That's the truth! I've learned to take any account of history with a grain of salt. It is essential to do this with any account because you will learn the main points but also the opinions which do matter in my opinion. But I want as many opinions as possible so I don't trust just the skewed...

We had my younger cousin scared to death of the "Mirror Man". We told her he would come out while she slept and grab her and take her to mirrorland and she would never get back. We were cruel but then we were 10.

If you didn't do what you do now, what profession would you like to be in. I would love to be a vet and take care of animals. I actually investigated doing this but didn't go through with it.

Isn't it interesting that so many different cultures have the same themes? Makes you wonder if the tales are truth and not fiction, doesn't it. I love reading things like this.

Dogs are such innocent creatures, I have no idea why anyone would ever treat one badly. It hurts me to see animals and children abused when they can't defend themselves.

I had never heard that before! Very interesting. I would not want to meet up with that lady anytime soon. I did like how they had Uma Thurman portray her in the Percy Jackson movie. Interesting!

Very interesting! I love reading and seeing things like this. I also love to study about things that happened in my own backyard. When I was in 7th grade we had to study about the history of our state and I loved it!

I'm not in the Appalachians but I'll give you a few. 1. If a bride doesn't have something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue on her during the wedding ceremony, she will have bad luck in the marriage. 2. Don't spill salt. If you do, throw some over your left shoulder...

I know that such atrocities were committed at some of the "death camps" by the Nazis that they have no equal. Some of the experiments of Dr. Mengele were the most appalling and horrific that have ever been seen. He loved to experiment on people and thought that the Jewish people were so low on...

Let's start a thread about animal myths. You know, things animals are supposed to do that are actually old wive's tales and superstitions? I'll start. If you are getting married and you see a pure white horse running south to north on the way to the ceremony, it's a bad omen for the marriage...

I see those. Honestly, it looks like the door was carved in the 70's. Is that possible? It almost looks medieval in origin. Do you know how long the door has been hanging there?

Thanks Rhonda. I will! I think I saw that on Netflix if I'm not mistaken. I'll see if I can find it. I love to read strange facts in history like that. Unanswered questions always intrigue me.

I've always wondered about the stories about succubus and incubus. It makes me wonder what actually caused the "sightings" or attacks of these types of creatures. Was it a poisoning that caused the phenomenon? Could it have been the same thing that caused the "witch" sightings in Salem?
