The Curse of Amen-Ra...

Of all the tales of the supernatural, this one is perhaps the best documented, the most disturbing and the most difficult to explain. The Princess or Priestess (no record of a Princess though) of Amen-Ra lived some 1,050 years Before Christ. When she died, she was laid in an ornate wooden coffin and buried deep in a vault at Luxor, on the banks of the Nile.
In the late 1880s, 4 rich young Englishmen, visiting the excavations at the Luxor were invited to buy an exquisitely fashioned mummy case containing the remains of Princess (or Priestess) of Amen-Ra. They drew lots. They paid several thousand pounds and had the coffin taken to their hotel. A few hours later, one of the 4 men was seen walking out towards the desert. He never returned. The next day, the 2nd man was shot by an Egyptian servant accidentally. His arm was so severely wounded it had to be amputated. The 3rd man in the foursome found on his return home, that the bank holding his entire savings had failed. He committed suicide later. The 4th guy suffered a severe illness, lost his job and was reduced to selling matches on the street.

The curse of the Crying Boy Painting..!!

The legend around The Crying Boy painting is as grim as it gets. The stories began around 1985, when several mysterious fires occurred all around England. When the debris was sifted through the only item that remained uncharred was a painting of a little boy with a tear rolling down his cheek in every fire. Could this all be coincidence?

In 1988, a mysterious explosion destroyed the home of the Amos family in Heswall, England. When firemen sifted through the burnt-out shell of the house, they found a framed picture, entitled ‘The Crying Boy’, which was a portrait of an angelic-looking boy with a sorrowful expression and a tear rolling down his cheek. But the picture was not even singed by the blaze.

The Slit-Mouth Woman

Years ago in Japan, there was a tradition where people would gather in a room and light 100 candles. Then they would start telling scary tales and ghost stories. At the end of each story, they would extinguish a candle. The room would grow darker and darker and the stories would become scarier and scarier. At the end of the final ghostly story, the room would be in complete darkness.

This is the story of Kuchisake Onna, also known as “The Slit-Mouth Woman”:

Kuchisake Onna aka The Slit-Mouth Woman, is a scary Japanese urban legend about a disfigured Japanese woman who brandishes a large scissors and preys on children. She has an enormous slit mouth, which extends from ear to ear in a horrible, permanent smile.

Halloween: Demonic ritual or just good fun..??!!

Halloween, also called the "Christian feast of Hallowmas", "Allhallows", or "All Saints day". It is a time for Ghosts, Skeletons, Pumpkins, and of course Candy. A holiday generally accepted as secular in nature and a time for partying and harmless fun. But is that all there is to Halloween? There is some concern among parents' whether to allow children to participate in Halloween festivities based on the holiday’s history. So, is Halloween just a commercialized holiday, or is it really a “Celebration of the Dead”? To make an informative decision, one has to look at the relevant history.

Halloween is connected all the way back to the ancient Druids. The Druids believed that on this evening the lord of the dead called upon hosts for evil spirits. To commemorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires, where the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities. During the celebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisting of animal heads and skins, and attempted to tell each other's fortunes. When the celebration was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the coming winter.

Halloween can also be traced back to a pagan holiday called the “Festival of Samhain”, which was celebrated by the Celts of Great Britain, Ireland, and France. It was believed that on October 31st, Samhain, the Celtic God of the Dead, would allow the souls, evil and good, of those who had died to return to their dwellings. To keep the evil spirits away, the ancient Celts would light bonfires and wear masks. The devils, witches and demons were also believed to be moving about at the height of their powers.

The Bell Witch

One of the most famous hauntings in America occurred in what is now Adams, Tennessee, on the land that was owned by John Bell in the early 1800s. The tale begins in 1817 when John, a farmer, was working in one of his cornfields and spotted a bizarre looking animal. The creature appeared to have a dog's body with a rabbit's head, and John wasted no time in trying to shoot the thing. After several shots, the animal simply vanished, and John returned to his home.
