According to legend, two green-skinned children, a boy & girl, appeared in the village Woolpit in the 12th century, speaking an unknown language. The girl eventually learned English well enough to say they were from Saint Martin's Land, a land of green people. #FolkloreThursday

The Beast of Bray Road is a large, red-eyed, bipedal cryptid resembling a bear or a wolf, sighted on rural roads in Wisconsin & Illinois as far back as 1936. It attacks vehicles, leaving long claw marks. Theorists claim it's either a werewolf or a wendigo. #WyrdWednesday

The Ozark Howler has been sighted in the Ozark Mountains since the early 1800s. Described as bear-shaped with stocky legs, horns, shaggy black fur, & glowing red eyes, it emits a cry that sounds like a mix of a wolf's howl, an elk's bellow, & a hyena's laugh. #WyrdWednesday

In Japanese myth, eating the flesh of a ningyo (a mermaid-like creature) grants longevity. In the fairy tale "Yao Bikuni," a fisherman's daughter eats ningyo & lives to be 800. But catching a ningyo is bad luck, so sailors usually throw them back into the sea. #FairyTaleTuesday

In Norse myth, after the hero Sigurd slays the dragon Fafnir, he cooks the heart for his foster father, Regin. But he tastes Fafnir's blood & learns the language of birds, who warn of Regin's betrayal. He kills Regin & eats the heart, which grants him wisdom. #MythologyMonday

So, Disney will snatch up every franchise and entertainment company in their path like the greedy corporate grubbers they are, but they still won't put the Aladdin series on Disney+? Sounds about right.

The Chinese tale of Li Chi is about a serpent who terrorizes a village into feeding him once a year in exchange for their safety, & the teen girl who volunteers to be the sacrifice. She pulls out a sword & slays the serpent with help from her hunting dog. #FolkloreThursday
