I have never heard of any South American myths. This one sounds really cool. Sounds kind of like our mermaid with the musical ability and the drowning people. If I am ever down that way, I will beware of people with large foreheads! Lol

Sunshine, the second time I saw a light it was similar to your story. My friend told us about this haunted bridge and a light he saw and he said it chased him. My other friend and I didn't believe him. So we went to the bridge and parked right after we crossed it. The bridge was in the boonies...

Myriddin, you are right. Sometimes everything gets jumbled in my brain! Glad you corrected me so that others who might have been confused about the differences know now.

I think in every myth and fairy tale there is a small bit of truth. People like to take the truth and elaborate on it. Then it just keeps getting passed down through generations. I also firmly believe that just because you can't see something doesn't make it untrue. There are loads of...

When I was in middle school we lived in a house way out in the boonies. The house had a small driveway in the front. Most of the yard was to the right side of our house and cow pastures to the back and left side. One night I saw a light from the living room window on the right side. I was...

This is a very intriguing conversation. I wonder if my local library has either of those books. I do believe in ghosts or supernatural things. I have seen way too many crazy things not to. I think if there were vampires, they wouldn't be like what we see on television. It would be more of an...

I wonder why he will not tell anyone? Could it be that he was embarrassed of his heritage? Maybe his father was an outlaw and he was ashamed? It would eat away at me if I could not find out!

Not sure where it originated. Just as some people revered cats a lot of people use to think the cat worked for the devil. I know there is a dark goddess in Hebrew mythology that turned herself into a vampire cat and her favorite prey was infants. There are probably loads of variations that just...

If you remember post the movie name. That sounds like a movie I would enjoy watching! Is it an old movie or newer? I might have to try and look it up for myself.

Ive seen pictures friends have posted and been like "what is that?!". I didn't think it was normal for them and I just don't click on those pictures either.

If I remember correctly I also heard that Cupid was quite michivious and always getting into trouble. I guess he would gt into trouble having the ability to make people fall in and out of love!

Like Rlynn said basically back then there was so much paranoia with communism that basically everyone was thought to be a communist. I just remember from the book I read thy Marilyn had a FBI file that stated that a special meeting of hers in Mexico was thought to be communist related. I can't...

That story us probably going to give me nightmares tonight! On another note Kuchisake-Onna might make a good Halloween costume this year! If you could replicate the slit properly with makeup and other items.

I've heard an urban legend about a couple staying at a hotel. Their room smelled awful but they decided to go to bed anyway. Halfway through the night the stench was so horrible they go complain at the front desk. The front desk does a search of their room and finally lift up mattress...and...

Thank you for that article! Very insightful! Funny how things get mixed up and continue to be believed even though they are not true! I never thought Walt Disney personally drew Mickey Mouse. I figured he just had an idea of Mickey floating in his head and one of his illustrators drew it out for...

Anyone heard that there are monster sized sea monkeys living in various sewers in big cities? Apparently they get there when owners flush their seemingly dead sea monkeys down the toilet. Somehow they learn to live in the sewers and have attacked/eaten people to get revenge! My son loves sea...

Never heard of this Russian tale either. It made a great movie and I am glad Tim Burton was inspired by it! I bet if the Russian tale was made into a movie with real actors it would be super scary! Somebody needs to get on it before Halloween roles around!

I love Marilyn and find her life very interesting. She was on constant watch by the FBI as a communist and had numerous reported flings with JFK. So what are some of your thoughts on Marilyn being a communist? Do you think that somehow it relates to her death? What about JFK's possible part in...

I am especially fond of all mythology. It is so interesting how everyones cultures have so much similarity when it comes to mythology. Anansi, one of my favorites, from African folklore is a trickster just like Coyote in Native American mythology.

When I was young my family researched our Native American roots. We found enough Native blood percentages in us that we received roll numbers. We took up with a local tribe and learned so much from the Elders! The tribe had a major meeting each month and Pow Wows throughout the year. Also there...
