Hi Cody, Since a child I've been fascinated with folklore and tales of old gods/sprites/undines/nix's etc, Luckily living in the UK there are plenty of backwater places with mothers telling their children to stay away from the old mines or tatns because 'rawhead and bloody bones 'll get you!!', WHOOOO!! beats "please don't go near there or you'll drown" eh? I remember reading of this Rawhead character as a child whilst camping in Dartmoor many years ago, and I could hardly sleep imagining the river Dart to be hiding a skeletal abomination under the bridge in the darkest pool. Aghy! Of course as soon as I grew out of Enid Blyton along came MR James, Poe, Lovecraft and all the old dusty drawers tales that still delight me. Bogeymen, captures the mind so much more than the 50's vogue for 'the red under the bed'? (any connection I wonder? Etymology is fascinationing!) names of different bogies include: Hedley Kow (mostly harmless shape-shifting trickster) Picktree Brag: (another shape-shifter) Nuckelavee (very evil. It came out of the sea, half-man, half-horse. It breathed pestilence and the only escape was to find a stream or river, because it could not cross running water) Redcap (Scotland. wicked spirit who drenches his hat in blood.) Vinegar Tom Tantarabobus (Somerset and Devon) Bloody-bones Thrumpin Tommy Rawhead (water bogie which drowns children) Tom Dockin (N. Yorkshire. Has iron teeth. Devours naughty children. Pad-foot (a boggart with enormous eyes and rattling chains) Old Baker, Old Bendy and Old Lob Old Shock (East Anglian goblin shaped like a great dog who bothers travellers) Old Scrat Churn-milk Peg (self-descriptive Yorkshire spirit. Also smokes a pipe.) Melsh Dick (A wood demon who protects soft unripe nuts from being gathered by naughty children) Shriker (skriker), a black spirit dog in Lancashire who howls on the moors and in the woods. To hear or see was a signal of misfortune or doom. above list from : http://members.nbci.com/DeAnnaParis/celtic_b.htm

Thanks for the websights! I am also interested in folktales. We have alot of good ones in the american south. Many of them are of African origin because of black women tending to children back in the old days.Many are of Scottish and Irish origin. Thanks Charlie for putting the bug in my brain. I'm putting the ufo books up for a while and making folklore my hobby of the week. Eveyone have a great week. Erin

well this is not really spooky something i have just pondered on, it can happen abit with acid ie the telepathy syndrome but my tales involve no drugs whata so ever.... In paris in 1993 i had not slept for a while( so was probably a bit deluded)and was with some people I did not know very well. We had been communicating fine for hours until i suddenly said" what language are we speaking" because it hit me at that moment that my french wasn't good enough to communicate for hours and we weren't speaking english. There after we did speak english but for awhile it had seemed we were lost in another language. a few years back in oxford in the pub i was with my welsh friends they had another welsh friend over and i chatted to him all night. After one of my welsh friends said to me " I didn't know you understood welsh" (I didn't then only a couple of words) i said but we were speaking english! It turned out i was speaking english and the bloke welsh but we commicated fine, I had had a few beers but not that much. Anyway my point is, is there a universal language that we can fall in to unaware can we all communicate no matter what our mother tongue is? has this happened to others (with out acid) or am I just a nutter??? love carolinexxx
