Spotlight on mythology and folklore

After the barrage of questions relating to the Easter Bunny and the origins of the season last week I found myself spending some time in the Mythology and Folklore category of Yahoo!7 Answers, which is highly entertaining to browse through – if you’re not easily scared!
There are some particularly creepy tales of supernatural experiences and some accounts from users who claim to have regressed into their past lives after being hypnotised. Whether you believe it or not – you can’t help but feel the hair on the back of your neck stand up when you look through some of the answers to questions seeking stories of ghostly encounters.
The category also allows for users to ask for explanations about superstitions such as the discomfort involving Friday the 13th, or to get some advice on how to further their knowledge of tarot cards and their meanings. It is also interesting to read through and have a look at the questions concerning other cultures, their deities and the customs and beliefsthat have been passed through generations.
If you’re intrigued by things that go bump in the night, or in the background of various folk stories and old wives tales it’s a great category to have a look at – just make sure your nightlight is plugged in!
