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.
Urban legend, or unsolved mystery -- What really happened to John Bell? Who doesn't love a good ghost story, and when the ghost in question is also a witch, it just keeps getting better. I was first introduced to this urban legend/unsolved mystery with the iconic movie starring Donald Sutherland and Sissy Spacek as John Bell and his wife Lucy. Enjoy the video and come to your own conclusions; I know I have a couple conspiracy theories about The Bell Witch rolling around in my magickal mind.
Today our internet and talk-shows are full of mediums ready and willing to connect you with a dead loved one. How did Spiritualism, this movement, get started? Who are the Fox Sisters? How did Spiritualism inspire and promote feminism?
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.
NOTE: to some of my regular readers here, though I've touched on some of these topics on my other youtube channel, the material here is fresh and brand spankin' new. Sometimes you'll find that there are some topics you can chat about more than once and learn something new, viewing it from a different perspective. Enjoy!
Bloody Mary
You'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 People
You'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 Board
So, 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-ins
Can "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?
So, 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?
