#voodoodoll #poppetfacts #history #culture #religion #magic This is a voodoo doll, right? Wrong! This is a Hollywood invention. The real Vodou religion from Haiti does not use dolls to harm people, but to heal, protect, and communicate with the spirits. The use of dolls in magic goes back to ancient Egypt and Greece, where they were used to curse or bind enemies, lovers, or rivals. And then we have poppets, the dolls that witches and cunning folk used in medieval Europe. They are made from different materials and filled with personal items of the target. Poppets can be used for good or evil, depending on the intention of the practitioner. They can also be used for protection, communication, or divination.
Poppet is a Middle English word meaning a small child or a doll, and also a term of endearment for a young girl. In Germany, there is a tradition of the kitchen witch, a poppet that is hung in the kitchen to bring good luck and prevent kitchen disasters. So, next time you see a voodoo doll or a poppet, remember that they are not what they seem, and that there's more to the story than pins and needles.

Okiku is one of the most haunted dolls in the world. She was once a beloved toy of a little girl who died tragically. Her family kept the doll as a memorial, but soon noticed something eerie: the doll's hair was growing, as if the girl's spirit was still alive. The doll is now in a temple in Japan, where monks have to trim her hair regularly. Some say they have heard her whispering her name. Would you visit her if you could? #okikudoll #haunteddoll #creepydoll #japanesefolklore #paranormal #horror
π±π» There were dozens of dead birds scattered on the ground, their feathers and blood staining the leaves. We were shocked and disgusted by what we saw, and we wondered what could have done this. As we looked around, we noticed a strange structure made of twigs and feathers, standing in the middle of the clearing.

In 2017, an area in Whitchurch, dubbed as 'The Screeching Serpents of Shropshire', was the site of an unusual occurrence that seemed straight out of Jurassic Park. A local resident reported hearing an unfamiliar screech, which was growing louder. Upon looking outside, she saw two creatures resembling 'pterodactyls' flying side by side across the treeline. She was confident these grey, leathery-winged creatures were not birds, given their size and her knowledge of local wildlife, living near a nature reserve. Her husband was skeptical of her account.

Step inside the infamous Villisca Axe Murder House, where ghostly encounters are just the beginning. But in 2014, one visitor's paranormal experience took a chilling turn, echoing the horrors of the past. Brace yourself as we unravel the bone-chilling mystery that left investigators baffled and the world in shock."
Back in 1912, a horrifying and unsolved murder took place at this very location. Six innocent children and two adults fell victim to a brutal axe attack, leaving their skulls crushed. π’ The identity of the killer remains a mystery to this day. π³
Fast forward to 1994, and the house was purchased and restored to its original 1912 condition and you can stay overnight in this haunted home! π
Visitors who dare to enter often report eerie paranormal experiences. Some claim to have witnessed a ghostly figure roaming the halls, resembling a man with an axe. π¨ Others have heard faint screams of children echoing through the rooms. π
But the story takes a sinister twist in November 2014. Robert Steven Laursen Jr. from Wisconsin was on a recreational paranormal visit with his friends when true horror struck. π± According to VICE, his friends found him with a self-inflicted stab wound to the chest, around the same time the 1912 axe murders occurred. π³ #creepystories #truescarystories #paranormalpodcast #spookyseason

I love creepy, Reddit stories! We keep hearing eachothers voices calling, but the owner of the voice is never at home.About a month ago I was having dinner with some friends from uni when mum messaged me asking if I was at home. I raised an eyebrow and simply said βno mum, already at uniβTo which she replied βoh, I just heard you call me from your room hahaβ.Then, few days ago my sister called me while I was out for groceries with mum. Her voice was a bit too frantic for my taste. She asked where we were, if weβre close to home or if weβll be there soon. When I ask why she is so nervous, she tells me that βI just heard mumβs voice calling me from her room, then heard you say my name right behind meβ.Just yesterday I was cleaning my room and heard dad call me, but he had left for work about an hour prior to that, and since my room is so close to the front door I definetly wouldβve heard if he came back.#scarystories #creepystories #redditstories #spooky
