The Whispering Woods : True Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

As the sun slowly dips below the horizon and the trees band together in clusters, as if bracing themselves for the impending darkness, you move briskly and silently across the ground littered with fallen leaves and twigs. You take note of every sound, every rustle and snap of branches caused by your own footsteps. You pick up your pace, aware that something other than the night is drawing near. The sound grows louder as your steps become quicker and your heart beats ever faster. You stop suddenly and turn around to face whatever is stalking you. You catch a glimpse in the dimming light of the crawling figure that is hunting you.  It moves like an animal yet appears to be disturbingly human like. You only see it for a moment, but it is enough to make you bolt in terror. One glimpse is all it takes.

We're Back!

I'd like to apologise for a few mispronunciations in this episode, my brain is muckfuddled! I'm blaming the menobrain...

Walpurgisnacht is a thinning period, one of a few points of the year when the veil between the living and the dead, the seen and the unseen, the land of the fae folk and that of humans dissipates. This period has its origins in the ancient Celtic sabbat of Beltane, a festival of fire, that was celebrated throughout Europe to welcome spring and the turning of the wheel. During this stage one can more easily commune with our ancestors but, as such, one must be mindful of malevolent entities who may be lurking in the dark corners as this transitional period, brings them closer to our world, the world of the living.

George is doing well and is now back at home after his accident. It was an extremely traumatic time for us all as initially we didn't know if he would pull through - so much has happened in the last two weeks. To be honest, a lot of it is a blur after receiving that phone call, you never want to receive. He has a long road to recovery ahead of him but he's alive and we thank everyone for their kind words and support.

If you believe that our reality is merely a computer simulation then a glitch can be defined as an error in the code. Just as one can be playing a computer game, and an object disappears as you circle your controller or the whole gameplay can change at the flick of a button, a glitch is a malfunction of our reality. The term was originally coined in 1999 and was taken from the movie Matrix and now the term is all encompassing for those unusual events that occur where logic and reasoning doesn't apply, where a and b doesn't equal c. Some people experience visions of a future life, or two timelines can temporarily cross over. Glitches in the Matrix are often attributed to that sense of Deja vu where you've already played out this particular scene.

Another episode of wonderful, Wendigo stories! In the bleak, bitter winters of the East Coast of Canada and the Great Plains and Lakes of America, something waits in the forest. Is that a cry from a tortured animal you hear?  This is no animal you recognise, as you strain your ears against the unforgiving, ice cold wind that whips through the trees. The cry becomes a shriek and it's getting louder, a cacophony of noise as your blood begins to curdle in your veins. Your heart skips a beat and then doubles in pace as you realise you are not alone in the forest, something is watching, stalking. With an insatiable hunger for human flesh, the Wendigo, Windigo Windigo, Witigo, Witiko, and Wee-Tee-Go (roughly translating as evil spirt of mankind) has been spoken of by the indigenous people for centuries.
