Folklore of Secrecy

This month dedicates itself to one Native American folklore often used but not well understood outside of the cultural belief. Someone capable of shifting to animal shapes and can haunt you to your last breath. It is with much carefulness that we present a terrifying legendary monster native of North America.

First of All

When I started writing, I promised myself that I would have Native Americans in each of my stories. Some may ask why, and this is my answer: I live in the French province of Quebec in Canada where many older people sharing the bloodline of Native Americans suffered shame from other cultures.

Sandman, A Horror Poem

The idea of someone throwing sand in my eyes to have one fall asleep is a creepy thought. Isn’t it?

Scary Granulated Stones

There are not many monsters that scares me, however, when it comes to the Sandman I feel quite disturbed.

He comes in your room at night, throws sand into your eyes and makes you believe it’s for good dreams and yet, I used to have night terrors.

To me, growing up, the Sandman was nothing more that a dreadful evil dust merchant.

The Sandman An Underrated Creature Or Monster?

Mr. Sandman bring me a dream. Make him the cutest that I’ve ever seen. Give him to lips like roses and clover. Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over.

Mystical Origins

The origin of the character of the Sandman brings us to northern-western Europe; however, it is uncertain to exactly where it began. European folklore describes the Sandman as a man who sprinkles sand or dust on or in the eyes of children to have them fall asleep. In most versions, the Sandman only brings out good dreams.

Curse of the Pharaohs

Mummies have been part of the horror classics since its first discoveries in the early twentieth century. However, curses themselves attributed to the tombs date far long before Europeans discovered them.

Back To The 6th Dynasty!

Ancient rubbers didn’t wait for the tombs to be documented and instead, went for the rich noble treasures. There was no home system back then, so an excellent old curse had to do!

In particular instance, curses engraved on the façades of tombs could be present. From the 6th Dynasty of Khentika Ikhekhi, more precisely Mastaba, situated at Saqqara, the curse itself aimed toward the priest as a warning to protect the tomb to preserve its purity ritual and discarded robbers all-together.

Mummies of Ancient Egypt

The passion about the ancient time, especially Ancient Egypt, is one that is most cherished by many.

The mysteries surrounding an old civilization capable of building tombs that reaches to the sky in perfect geometrical shapes placed to match the orion belt… but what about the mummies of Ancient Egypt?

New in the Old

When the interest in Egypt grew, many archeologists became specialists in the field and formed Egyptology. So many artifacts, hidden history and mysteries waiting to be discovered under the sand of a mystical country.

Pyramids, gardens, statues, the Sphinx, hieroglyphs, mythology, treasures, sarcophagus… and mummies. It took many years to archeologists and historians to finally understand what the purpose of pyramids were and even the reason for mummification was a long debate.

Are Werewolves The Ghosts Of Today?

Werewolves are just myths, legends and folklore. They were created to scare people and be fearful stories around campfires. But what if those stories are real?

Paranormal Witness — Season #2 Episode 10

My husband and I were watching Paranormal Witness, as we usually do each week it gave. There was that one story though, that caught my attention. We were both engrossed in the story of a man and his wife who looked very genuine to me.

The couple moved into a house, secluded, surrounded by woodlands. She was a mother at home and her husband had hunting as a hobby and would be working night shifts. Long story short, after not believing his wife for seeing a tall creature with glowing eyes, he witnessed tracks on the snow.
