GHOSTS 

  Ghosts are spirits that come into manifestation in ectoplasmic form.
They are spirits trapped between dimensions - usually
third and foruth dimension. As with all things - ghosts
have their own frequency signatures. They
communicate telepathically ~ in thought form. Anyone
who has opened their gifts of Clairaudiance and Clairvoyance
can communicate with them. Ghosts can also communicate
through tools like ouija boards and other forms of mediumships.
Ghosts usually come to communicate, not to
torment the people they visit. Poltergeists
on the other hand enjoy mischief and can get violent.

Ectoplasm is the substance that enables spirits to
manifest physically to some degree. Sometimes the
ectoplasmic energies can be seen - and other times
photographed. Ectoplasm is not solid in consistency,
it is more like a 'haze' in density! When photographed
a true spirit will appear as circular rings of energy.

Werewolves



                     Finland
The Finnish werewolves are rather melancholy
creatures (surprisingly...). In their stories/legends/myths a
person usually turns into a wolf without really wanting it,
accidentally (by doing something that'll turn
him into a wolf without knowing this might happen) or
because some witch has put a spell on him.
The werewolf (who's usually bound to be a wolf for
nights and days until something releases him from
the spell) then lurks around houses, sometimes
eating cattle but rarely people and waits for somebody
to recognize him. When somebody does (e.g the wolf's mother),
she/he can break the spell by calling the werewolf by his
Christian name or giving him some bread to eat.
Sometimes after the werewolf had regained his human form,
he would still have his tail till the day he died.
Some houses actually exhibit sauna benches that
have a hole in them, presumably cut for the ex-werewolf's tail.
Finland's southern neighbor, Estonia
is also known for its werewolf legends.
Estonia is sometimes called 'Viro' in Finnish,
and at one time werewolves were called
'vironsusi' ('Estonian wolf') in Finland. It should
be mentioned, though, that 'vironsusi' is
originally the same word as 'werewolf', meaning
'man-wolf' and connecting it with Estonia is a false etymology due
to Estonia's reputation as a werewolf country.

Vampires



When did vampires begin? As with many legends,
the exact date of origin is unknown; but evidence of the
vampire tale can be found with the ancient Chaldeans
in Mesopotamia, near the Tigris and the Euphrates
rivers, and with Assyrian writings on clay or stone tablets.
The land of the Chaldeans is also called the "Ur of the Chaldeans,"
which was the original home of Abraham from the Bible.



"Lilith" was a possible vampire from the ancient
Hebrew Bible and its interpretations. Although she is
described in the book of Isaiah, her roots are more
likely in Babylonian demonology. Lilith was a monster
who roamed at night taking on the appearance
of an owl. She would hunt, seeking to kill newborn
children and pregnant women. Lilith was the wife of
Adam before there was Adam and Eve, according to
tradition; but she was demonized because she refused
to obey Adam. (Or to see it from a more liberated
viewpoint, she demanded equal rights with Adam).
Naturally, she was considered evil for such "radical"
desires and became a vampire who eventually attacked
the children of Adam and Eve -- namely, all human descendants.

References to vampires can be found in many lands,
and some scholars believe this indicates that the
vampire story developed independently in these
various lands and was not passed from one to the other. Such an
independently occurring folktale is curious indeed.

One tale known by both the Greeks and Romans,
for example, concerns the wedding of a young man
named Menippus. At the wedding a guest, who was a noted
philosopher called Apollonius of Tyana, carefully
observed the bride, who was said to be beautiful.
Apollonius finally accused the wife of being a vampire,
and according to the story (as it was later told
by a scholar named Philostratus in the first century A.D.)
the wife confessed to vampirism. Allegedly she
was planning to marry Menippus merely to have him
handy as a source of fresh blood to drink.

Support for the vampire myth could be found historically,
extrapolated from a few extraordinary facts.
Such was the case of the "Blood Countess."
