creepy essay facts folklore informational mythology odd strange weird

From how Prometheus stole the first flame from the gods to how lights flickering in the sky overhead were connected to dragons, this book is an index of all things mythological, folkloric, and most importantly-strange. 

My name is Mara, and I've got an extensive knowledge regarding the oddities and ends of our world. I'm sure you're just as skeptical as most of the population, and I don't blame you-but when you're walking home at night and seem to find your place at the corners of our reality, or sitting in a diner as strange lights flicker overhead (ones that don't look like stars), you can't help but wonder if the legends passed down through generations, eroded by the sands time as they are, hold some sort of truth.

After all, you know what they say: where there's smoke, there's fire.All Rights Reserved

W.L. LEFT by Liilion

[NOTE] This book is being reset. It is inaccurate, and out of line. WL will be coming soon. Somewhere. In a distant, vastly different world. Due to a lack of direct "Sun"light, the world is cold and dark. But across this foreign planet, Birds. Many bird-like beings inhabit this world. They've established advanced civilization, monarchies, and five countries across the star shaped continent of the "Starry Feather". The story takes place through the eyes of various birds across the (impressively named) countries of Lightenia, Canadia, Mountainia, Icelandia, and Riverlandia. Though the birds may have lived normally this long, a sudden force makes way to end their peace. Recommended if you like lots of death, despair, destruction, deception, darkness, danger, defenestration, and arson.

The Witch in the Woods (Bill Cipher x reader) by AThousandFandoms

A week has passed since Weirdmaggedon happened and Bill was 'defeated.' Everyone had already gone back to their normal lives under the 'forget-about-it' movement that was input. You did the same though it was less normal than everyone else's. You have a reputation around the town as a witch. Cliche, yes. Untrue, maybe. You suppose it stemmed from the potions and herbal recipes you tend to make for others. Or possibly from the fact that you live in the middle of the woods in a small house made of mainly wood. Either way, when Bill shows up at your doorstep looking worse for wear, you figure the only thing you can do is help him....But then what?

The Weird Insights of a Scobberlotcher by Jimpatton1

Seeing the light? Sounds alright. Scales falling from the eyes and all that. A little visit from a revelation. But sometimes the light of a revelation doesn't live up to its advance billing. Sometimes it's not an epiphany at all. The bright burst of an unexpected truth. No, sometimes it's just depressing. Really depressing. And persistent. Especially when the light just keeps flashing on and off. A red light. In a really weird place. "At first I didn't know what to think or do that involved being rational. I did have two distinct, initial emotional reactions, though. First, I was glad I was alone. Second, this seemed a frightening confirmation that I actually had gone mad." This is the story of a man who makes a shocking discovery. He's been afflicted by a very modern disease with no known cure. Until a fortuneteller comes along and changes his mind. Literally. With a large, heavy object . Full of cigarette butts.

Set Me As A Seal ✓ by outbriefcandle54

A time-traveling god. A mortal stuck in Ancient Greece. They have always been able to hear each other's thoughts, across time and space; the only problem is, they were never supposed to meet. Until they did. And it unravelled the balance of everything. ₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪ The immortal Greek god Evgenis' only job is to travel through time, making sure humanity stays on its course. This is what he was born to do. He was meant to be machine-like, cold, and detached from humanity - ready to invoke bloodshed as needed. His ability to follow through with his duty, however, is disrupted when he forms a mysterious internal bond with a mortal. You see, the Goddess of Love had a different idea for her son's future. Seeing the cruelty of the gods around her, she formed the unborn Evgenis with a secret gift: an eternal inner bond with a mortal. She chose Tharos - named for the strength of his heart - an Ancient Greek villager living an unassuming, simple life. This connection, she prayed, would keep Evgenis' moral compass and conscience strong. He would not end up like the others. No one could anticipate, though, just how powerful and disruptive this bond would grow to be. ------------------------------------------ "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon, 6:8 ------------------------------------------

Mythian Academy: The Timeglass by CreativeGirl

Myths. Gods. Humans. These races are widely known for being the pieces that make up Mythology; however, one race has been lost to the recesses of time. Mythians. The forgotten race of peacemakers born to protect the world from war and chaos. Well that's what they told me in class anyway, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Life before Mr. Gale's Mythian Academy was simple: I only ever worried about what I was going to eat for dinner, what book I was going to read next, or whether my siblings would be able to make it through high school after me, but now life's gotten a lot more complicated because before hurling me down a hole, Alice would be jealous of, my headmaster gave me this letter explaining the unbelieveable truth. ⁓⁓⁓ To my dear First Years, The artifact stolen from the Academy is essential for the continuation of our existence. As you continue in your studies at the Academy, if you are successful, you will come to understand what all of this means, but for now, you three are our best chance to retrieve it. I plead with you: do not lose your sense of self and try hard to work together to achieve your final goal. I suggest working together no matter how different your personalities may be. Teamwork will be your salvation. Your Teacher, Mr. Gale P.S. If you're ever lost just check the map. It will guide you throughout your journey. Oh and you must know, every myth that has ever had you in awe, every being that has ever frightened you, and everything you dream of truly exists. Goodluck.
