Real vampires love Vampire Rave.


A woman with long red hair, Begins to set up chairs around a fresh fire pit. Apple Cider and snacks are set along a table.
She glances up to see the car headlights shining as the cars drive along the country winding road. She giggles as they have no idea what awaits them this crisp fall evening.

As they walk along the path towards her cabin, she notices they look at the lit candles in each of her windows, She smiles as they seem to have a chill along their spine."

"Come now join me"." Leave your bags on the table to the right, and come sit by the fire". Each person glances from their bag, then back to the woman. "Each bag will determine if you receive a trick or a treat." "The closer to the end of this
month, the more the veil thins".

"The spirits can be mischievous. I hope your gifts will ensure your receiving a treat vs a trick."

" You may partake of the refreshments I have prepared for you. " "My name is Mischief" "So shall we begin"

her book. "Ladies and gentlemen". "Tonight I share with you a book that has been passed down for generations in my family.
This is a sacred book to me." "This is my Shadow Book Of bestiaries. A Bestiary lists different creatures. Most people don't believe their existence".

" You are a selected group for tonight's festivities." "Hmm where shall begin?" The woman looked down at the book.
The pages come to life, and open to a page. The woman smiles. " Yes My Dear" " You have waited the longest."

Bloody Mary

Most have heard of her. However very few believe she is real. There is always some truth to legends, myths, and folklore.

Born on February 18, 1516, Mary was not the long-awaited son her parents, Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, had hoped for. But she survived infancy and grew up in the public eye as a beloved princess—at least until her teenage years, when her father’s infatuation with Anne Boleyn led him to divorce her mother and break with the Catholic Church. Declared illegitimate, downgraded from the title of “princess” to “lady” and separated from her mother, Mary refused to acknowledge the validity of her parents’ divorce or her father’s status as head of the Church of England. It was only in 1536, after Anne’s execution and Henry’s marriage to Jane Seymour, that Mary finally agreed to her mercurial father’s terms.

During her five-year reign, Mary navigated the manifold challenges associated with her status as the first English queen to wear the crown in her own right, rather than as the wife of a king. She prioritized religion, implementing reforms and restrictions aimed at restoring the Catholic Church’s ascendancy in England. Most controversially, she ordered around 280 Protestants burned at the stake as heretics—a fact that would later cement her reputation as “Bloody Mary.”

Most think of the Folklore. Sleep overs and parties is where most call out her name. The wish to know their future.

Bloody Mary is a legend of a ghost, phantom, or spirit conjured to reveal the future. She is said to appear in a mirror when her name is chanted repeatedly. The Bloody Mary apparition may be benign or malevolent, depending on historic variations of the legend. Bloody Mary appearances are mostly witnessed in group participation play.

Vampire

Vampyre or Vampir better known in a community that began in New York. Let's take a look at folklore first.


Up until the 20th century, many people believed vampire stories were true. Across cultures and continents, the powers of vampire-like ghouls were blamed for phenomena that there weren't yet medical explanations for, such as the spread of disease during the Middle Ages or what happens to the human body after death.

The story of Sekhmet, the Egyptian feline warrior goddess associated with both plague and healing, is considered by some to be one of the oldest vampire tales. Legend holds that the sun god, Ra, sent his daughter Sekhmet down to punish humankind for their disobedience. But after Sekhmet couldn't stop drinking blood amid her slaughter, Ra quelled her planet-draining thirst by dyeing a bunch of beer red.

Lilith, a 4000-year-old figure in Jewish folklore who, in some stories, was Adam's wife before Eve, had a monstrous rep in ancient Babylonia . Babylonians believed the lilitu "were hungry for victims because they had once been human," and "slipped through windows into people’s houses looking for victims to take the place of husbands and wives whom they themselves never had." While the image of Lilith as a deadly, hungry temptress has endured for centuries. subsection of self-identified feminists have embraced her as the First Misunderstood Feisty Lady.

In the Middle Ages, variations on early vampire mythology proliferated across Europe, with the nefarious monsters often used to explain plagues and other diseases. As Scientific American notes, cases of a rare blood disorder called porphyria in eastern Europe may be the root of certain physical characteristics attributed to vampires. Porphyria symptoms include sensitivity to light resulting in blistered skin or burns when exposed, hallucinations, and receded gums that give the impression of elongated teeth.

"And the effects of sensitivity to light can be so severe that sufferers lose their ears and noses—a physiognomy echoed in the looks of vampires such as Nosferatu,"

Count Dracula is widely believed to be inspired in part by the real Vlad III Dracula, popularly known as Vlad the Impaler. A 15th-century Romanian warrior prince, Vlad is infamous for his barbaric torture method on the battlefield: As the name suggests, he'd impale foes on stakes and leave them to bleed out by the thousands.

Werewolves

In folklore, a werewolf, or occasionally lycanthrope, is an individual who can shape-shift into a wolf, or a therianthropic hybrid wolf-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction, often a bite or the occasional scratch from another werewolf, with the transformations occurring on the night of a full moon.

Werewolves made a early appearance in Greek mythology with the Legend of Lycaon. According to the legend, Lycaon, the son of Pelages, angered the god Zeus when he served him a meal made from the remains of a sacrificed boy. As punishment, the enraged Zeus turned Lycaon and his sons into wolves.

Werewolves also emerged in early Nordic folklore. The Saga of the Volsunga tells the story of a father and son who discovered wolf pelts that had the power to turn people into wolves for ten days. The father-son duo donned the pelts, transformed into wolves and went on a killing rampage in the forest.

The Beast of Gevaudan was a monstrous, wolf-like creature who turned the mid eighteenth century into a terrifying bloodbath for the people of Gevaudan, a small province in south-central France. Although the Beast claimed 80-200 lives and left numerous eye witnesses in the wake of his attacks, he was never positively identified as any known predator. To this day, he remains one of history’s bloodiest mysteries.

The Rougarou is a legendary creature deeply rooted in the folklore of Louisiana, particularly among the Cajun and Creole communities. Often described as a werewolf-like beast, the Rougarou has become a symbol of the mysterious and eerie aspects of the bayou. This creature not only embodies the fears and superstitions of those who reside in the region but also serves as a cultural touchstone, connecting generations through shared stories.

The significance of the Rougarou legend lies in its ability to reflect the values, fears, and identity of Louisiana’s diverse communities. As a cautionary figure, the Rougarou warns of the dangers that lurk in the swamps and serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting the natural world.

Pumpkin Jack


This is just one version of an old tale about a foul drunkard of a blacksmith known as Stingy Jack. Jack was a two-faced, deceitful schemer who thrived on manipulating people. His selfish spirit possessed not a shred of humanity or kindness for anyone, and the homeless beggars only repulsed him. Word of his vile reputation reached Satan who took more than a passing interest in this evil man, so he put plans in motion to meet him.

One evening in the dark hills of rural Ireland, one of Satan’s devils posed as a dead man waiting for Stingy Jack to run into him. When Jack came across the body, a deranged face with wide eyes and an evil grin stared back at him. Stingy Jack instantly realized that his time was up and that the devil had come to collect his soul. He begged for a final request which the demon granted. Jack told him that he wanted just one more drink before he had to depart the world, and he took the devil to the nearest tavern.

One drink turned into another and then another. Before too long their consumption of alcohol exceeded the demand and there was nothing left for the pair to drink. When it was time for them to settle up, Jack didn’t have any money. He casually turned to his new drinking buddy and suggested that, since he was a devil with magical powers, he could simply transform himself into a piece of silver to pay the tab. The devil obliged. But instead of paying, Jack rammed the coin into his pocket. Aware that Stingy Jack had double-crossed him, the devil fought to get out. However, a crucifix in the pocket trapped him in. Jack made a deal with the devil. If he would leave Jack alone for a decade, he would release him from the coin – and the deal was made.

Once this amnesty was reached, the devil found Jack once more, ready to take him to hell. This time, however, Jack asked for an apple from a nearby tree to quell his hunger on the long journey. While the devil selected an apple, Jack carved four crucifixes on the bark of the tree trapping the evil being within its branches. On the condition that Jack will not go to hell, Jack once again offered the demon his freedom. Once again there was little choice but to submit to the man’s wishes. Stingy Jack continued the rest of his life safe in the knowledge that he outsmarted the devil not once, but twice.

Many years of alcoholism finally took their toll. It seemed that Stingy Jack could outsmart the devil, but he could not outsmart death when he found himself standing in front of the Pearly Gates. St. Peter turned him away. Heaven, as many people know, would not welcome a lying, deceitful drunk. Undiscouraged, Jack headed towards hell where his nemesis was biding his time to get revenge. Satan also refused him entry citing the agreement they made when Jack was very much alive.

Although neither heaven nor hell allowed Jack entry, Satan did grant one last wish. Jack asked for an ember from the fiery depths to give him a little light while he wandered the world in darkness. Satan picked one small red hot coal and gave it to Jack. To carry his burning ember, Jack found a turnip and hollowed it out, turning it into a makeshift lantern. Ever since then, Jack’s ghost could be seen wandering aimlessly around the Irish countryside. Whenever locals saw mysterious lights, they would say, “That’s just Jack o’ the lantern.” Later, the term became synonymous with the name for Stingy Jack’s wandering spirit – jack-o’-lantern.

Zombies

A zombie is a mythological undead corporeal revenant created through the reanimation of a corpse. In modern popular culture, zombies are most commonly found in horror genre works. The term comes from Haitian folklore, in which a zombie is a dead body reanimated through various methods, most commonly magical practices in religions like Vodou.

Zombies have become staple figures of popular culture, and the zombie apocalypse is a trope that features in many books, movies, and TV series. But are there actual, real cases of zombiism in nature?

The modern-day zombie was formalized in 1968 upon the release of George Romero's seminal Night of the Living Dead. The film featured all the typical characteristics of these supernatural ghouls: reanimated, mindless, and shuffling human corpses who eat the flesh and organs of the living. While they are slow, they are vicious in their hunger, and when they amass into a horde, they will tear you to pieces. Often, a zombie apocalypse in films and literature signals the end of days.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

Since that time, we've seen numerous other variations on the same basic zombie characteristics. But in fact, the concept of a zombie predates Romero's film, specifically in the concept of a zombie in Haitian culture, which is effectively a person "risen" from the dead and brainwashed into a mindless automaton. While many insist these incidents are nothing but folklore, others insist such beings were successfully fashioned.

Whether the Haitian zombies actually existed or not, there have been numerous cases of real zombies, though such incidents do not exactly involve things that have come back from the dead. Nature has given us both zombie ants and zombie spiders, and there have been several high-profile cases of people going berserk and feasting on the flesh of fellow humans for wholly unknown reasons.

In August, 2016, a 19-year-old college student, Austin Harrouf, reportedly stormed away from a restaurant in Jupiter, FL, where he'd been dining with his parents, apparently upset over the slow service there. He then wandered into a neighborhood, where a couple, Michelle Mischon and John Stevens III, sat in their garage with the door open, enjoying a quiet evening. Harrouf pulled a switchblade on the couple and stabbed them to death, apparently without provocation. A neighbor attempted to intervene and called 911, but was stabbed by the man as well.
Real vampires love Vampire Rave.


When police arrived, they found Harrouf naked, ripping away chunks of the couple's flesh and eating it. He was also growling, grunting, and making "animal noises." Repeated use of stun guns and a police dog could not sway Harrouf from his "meal," and finally three officers had to pull the man away from the bodies by force.

What makes this case especially strange is that Harrouf, prior to this bizarre crime, was a model student who seemed to have things pretty well figured out. It is reported that he had been hanging out with some of his fraternity brothers prior to joining his parents for dinner, but his toxicology report came back clean. Other test results for synthetic drugs are pending, though officials did say Harrouf showed no other characteristic symptoms associated with substances like flakka or bath salts.

Police were left baffled at Harrouf's behavior. Just what exactly happened to this man to prompt such a gruesome crime?

May 2012, Miami resident Rudy Eugene stripped naked and attacked homeless man Ronald Poppo, eating about 80% of the man's face. When police arrived at the scene, they were forced to open fire on the belligerent Eugene. He took far more bullets than his body should have been able to withstand before finally dropping.

It was originally theorized that Eugene had ingested "bath salts" or even PCP, but toxicology reports revealed only trace amounts of marijuana in his system, leaving the explanation for his zombie-like attack on Poppo a mystery.

This case was observed by researchers in Haiti sometime in 1996 or 1997.

"FI was around 30 years old when she died after a short febrile illness and was buried by her family the same day in the family tomb next to her house. 3 years later she was recognized by a friend wandering near the village; her mother confirmed her identity by a facial mark, as did her 7-year-old daughter, her siblings, other villagers, her husband, and the local priest. She appeared mute and unable to feed herself. Her parents accused her husband of zombifying her (he was jealous of her after she had had an affair). After a local court authorized the opening of her tomb, which was full of stones, her parents were undecided whether to take her home and she was admitted to the psychiatric hospital in Port-au Prince..."

It was later determined the woman likely suffered from catatonic schizophrenia. However, just how she managed to emerge from her tomb and wander home isn't explained.

Clairvius Narcisse died on May 2, 1962 after admitting himself to the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Deschapelle, a town in the Artibonite Valley of Haiti. He had been suffering from a plethora of ailments, but no direct cause for his symptoms could be determined.

Eighteen years later, in 1980, his sister Angelina saw Narcisse in a market place. He recounted the memories of his own "death," including being buried alive. He had been placed into a death-like state by a bokor, or sorcerer, and after being dug up he was whisked away to a plantation to serve as a zombified laborer. He escaped after two years of slavery and wandered the Haitian countryside, only willing to return to his village when his brother, whom he believed to have made the deal with the bokor that turned Narcisse into a zombie, had finally passed away.

A researcher named Wade Davis later investigated Narcisse's case, and claimed to have discovered the key to zombification, namely the use of the datura plant, which, according to Patrick D. Hahn of Biology Online, "contains the hallucinogens atropine and scopolamine, and induces delirium, confusion, psychosis, and complete amnesia." It could never be conclusively determined, however, whether or not this substance was actually used on Narcisse.

Having died in 1907, it was a shock to the village of Ennery in Haiti when, on October 24, 1936, Felicia-Felix Mentor wandered into town, dazed and disheveled. She would alternately refer to herself in first and third person, and at times she would laugh maniacally for no reason.

Dr. Louis P. Mars, MD insisted Mentor's reappearance was either a case of mistaken identity or severe schizophrenia, but writer Zora Neale Hurston insisted locals had told her Mentor's state was a result of pharmacological zombification.

Clowns

Clowns, as pranksters, jesters, jokers, harlequins, and mythologized tricksters have been around for ages. They appear in most cultures—Pygmy clowns made Egyptian pharaohs laugh in 2500 BCE; in ancient imperial China, a court clown called YuSze was, according to the lore, the only guy who could poke holes in Emperor Qin Shih Huang’s plan to paint the Great Wall of China; Hopi Native Americans had a tradition of clown-like characters who interrupted serious dance rituals with ludicrous antics. Ancient Rome’s clown was a stock fool called the stupidus; the court jesters of medieval Europe were a sanctioned way for people under the feudal thumb to laugh at the guys in charge; and well into the 18th and 19th century, the prevailing clown figure of Western Europe and Britain was the pantomime clown, who was a sort of bumbling buffoon.

Creepy clowns, lurking in dark corners, wielding the odd weapon, have closed schools, created mass panic and kept police officers in the US and UK busy.

If you saw one lurking outside your window, you'd have good reason to be terrified.

The most notorious - by a long way - was John Wayne Gacy, otherwise known as Pogo the Clown - or, later, the Killer Clown.

Between January 1972 and December 1978, he murdered 33 young men and teenage boys - burying most of them in the crawl space under his house.

At the same time, the twice-married Gacy was appearing as Pogo, the friendly neighborhood clown, bringing his own brand of humor to parades, children's hospitals and the odd Democratic fundraiser around Illinois.

But the former manager of a fast-food franchise, later executed by lethal injection, doesn't appear to have been dressed as a clown when committing the killings.

What's more, it is undeniable that his other passion - politics - has produced far more murderers over the years.

More than a decade later, an actual "clown killer" struck: Marlene Warren was fatally shot by a clown who arrived at her Florida home holding flowers and two balloons.

When Mrs. Warren opened the door, the brown-eyed clown shot her before fleeing in an unmarked car.

One of the balloons left behind as the killer made their escape said, "You're the greatest".


More than 25 years later, her murder remains unsolved and the identity of the gunman behind the white mask is unknown.

Witches

Witches were perceived as evil beings by early Christians in Europe, inspiring the iconic Halloween figure.

Images of witches have appeared in various forms throughout history—from evil, wart-nosed women huddling over a cauldron of boiling liquid to hag-faced, cackling beings riding through the sky on brooms wearing pointy hats. In pop culture, the witch has been portrayed as a benevolent, nose-twitching suburban housewife; an awkward teenager learning to control her powers and a trio of charmed sisters battling the forces of evil. The real history of witches, however, is dark and, often for the witches, deadly.

Early witches were people who practiced witchcraft, using magic spells and calling upon spirits for help or to bring about change. Most witches were thought to be pagans doing the Devil’s work. Many, however, were simply natural healers or so-called “wise women” whose choice of profession was misunderstood.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.


Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

Witch hysteria really took hold in Europe during the mid-1400s, when many accused witches confessed, often under torture, to a variety of wicked behaviors. Within a century, witch hunts were common and most of the accused were executed by burning at the stake or hanging. Single women, widows and other women on the margins of society were especially targeted.

Between the years 1500 and 1660, up to 80,000 suspected witches were put to death in Europe. Around 80 percent of them were women thought to be in cahoots with the Devil and filled with lust. Germany had the highest witchcraft execution rate, while Ireland had the lowest.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.

Real vampires love Vampire Rave.


"Malleus Maleficarum" labeled witchcraft as heresy, and quickly became the authority for Protestants and Catholics trying to flush out witches living among them. For more than 100 years, the book sold more copies of any other book in Europe except the Bible.

As witch hysteria decreased in Europe, it grew in the New World, which was reeling from wars between the French and British, a smallpox epidemic and the ongoing fear of attacks from neighboring native American tribes. The tense atmosphere was ripe for finding scapegoats. Probably the best-known witch trials took place in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692.

Modern-day witches of the Western World still struggle to shake their historical stereotype.
Many modern-day witches still perform witchcraft, but there’s seldom anything sinister about it. Their spells and incantations are often derived from their Book of Shadows, a 20th-century collection of wisdom and witchcraft, and can be compared to the act of prayer in other religions. A modern-day witchcraft potion is more likely to be an herbal remedy for the flu instead of a hex to harm someone.

Today’s witchcraft spells are usually used to stop someone from doing evil or harming themselves. Ironically, while it’s probable some historical witches used witchcraft for evil purposes, many may have embraced it for healing or protection against the immorality they were accused of.

But witches—whether actual or accused—still face persecution and death. Several men and women suspected of using witchcraft have been beaten and killed in Papua New Guinea since 2010, including a young mother who was burned alive. Similar episodes of violence against people accused of being witches have occurred in Africa, South America, the Middle East and in immigrant communities in Europe and the United States.

As Mischief looks at her guests again. She begins to read news articles. Names of her family members that were attacked and killed. Simply for their beliefs. Cassie walks forward. She has a book wrapped in silk with a dagger. The sweet grass and sage falls from the book.

Mischief takes the offering from Cassie. "Cassie thank you, You are now free from illness and are blessed". Cassie looks at Mischief. " Thank You" Cassie walks into the field and disappears. Her spirit freely floating with peace.

Everyone gasps. Realizing who stands in front of them. As all their sins plays out in front of them for everyone to see.
To their horror Mischief changes in appearance. Her spirit shining bright. This day you all will experience the horror and death as myself and my family did by your hands.
