Reader Submission: The Male Penanggalan

male penanggalan

“Following up on your krasue story, my father encountered a male krasue once in my grandmother’s house.

Grandma’s Black Magick
My grandmother practiced extremely black magick and had all manner of evil spirits near her, some of them physically manifesting and audibly calling out my mother and uncle’s names in the middle of the night. She practiced a dark version of an African Diapora religion. I don’t know what she practiced exactly, but she opened gateways to all sorts of spirits most African practitioners have never heard of.

In Cuba, sometimes the malevolent entities at her house would appear as great spheres of light. I later found out that in Ireland, and even as far as Europe and Mexico, evil spirits take on the form of white orbs. Good spirits do too. In Ireland, they’re called will-o’-the-wisps. In Mexico, demon witches like vampire witches often take on the form of fiery balls of light, and villagers keep their kids indoors so that they stay away. Many witches love to feed on children’s blood.

The Premonition
Well, the magick runs in my family. My mother was a Seer and saw in dreams how one man would die in a plane accident. She told my grandmother, but that same man was also stalking her and spreading false rumors about her because she wouldn’t sleep with him. So she didn’t want to speak to him, but my grandmother told her to do it anyway or she would always have it on her conscience. He didn’t listen, and he died exactly the way my mother said he would.

Reader Submission: Man on the Water

lake_at_night

In Texas, there’s a park in Granbury on the lake called Hunter Park. One night when I was about 12, we went camping out there. It was me, my brother Cody, my mom, and her boyfriend. Cody claims to have seen something that night after we all went to bed that I still can’t explain.

The two of us were fishing really late at night. I went to bed at about midnight. Cody says that about an hour later he was pulling in his lines so he could also go to sleep when he looked up and saw a man in the water about 10 feet away. That’s a little strange, but it gets worse. He said the man was standing ON the water. This person was dressed like a cowboy from what he remembers of it.

Ghost Photo of the Day: The Figure in Black

reddit_ghost_photo

Here’s a new pic from Reddit.com’s paranormal community. First, the background story:

“This photo was taken at a wedding by a friend of a colleague. The wedding party was held at an old farm in Norway, famous for being the former home of M. Munthe (a children’s book author). There was no one present at the wedding wearing black, and the picture was taken by one of the guests. The professional photographer had no ‘natural’ explanation for the ‘figure.’ He hadn’t seen any camera ‘glitch’ like it before, and they said no one else was standing where the figure is standing. So what do you think? Could this be something…real?”

The folks on Reddit have several theories to explain the figure in black ranging from slow shutter speed to the ghost of Margaret Munthe appearing to protest (or celebrate) the same-sex wedding. Check out the discussion here. What do you make of the pic?
