Urban Legends ~ The Bandage Man

 


We're going to visit Cannon Beach, Oregon, where we'll hear the urban legend about "The Bandage Man". Along the way, we'll learn a little bit about this northwest pacific coast area, a bit of its history, and how this legend began.

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. 



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?
