Very disappointing that Japan makes usage of American folklore before anyone here even attempts to do anything with the unique folklore creatures available.
So much richness available that is ignored in favor or old tired tropes and monsters.

An elderly man called Keith,
Mislaid his set of false teeth.
They'd been laid on a chair,
He'd forgot they were there,
Sat down, and was bitten beneath.
- Old Irish Limerick

The foxglove originally symbolised riddles & conundrums, probably because in Old Irish it was “folksglove”, the “folks” being the fairies with all their tricks. The “glove” may have been Anglo-Saxon “gliew” - bells on a frame. Foxgloves were also “fairy bells”. #FolkloreThursday
Anne Boleyn was beheaded #OnThisDay, May 19, 1536. Her ghost is said to still haunt the Tower of London, and a guard once claimed he saw her ghost leading an elaborate procession of knights and ladies in the Royal Chapel.

The Gerding is form of Hookland nature spirit that needs appeasing. A monstrous head that lives beneath the soil, every few years it sends spores of itself up to the surface. These grow into smaller heads that demand the Gerding below is given its due. #FolkloreThursday
✨🦇✨Bats were often seen as bringers of bad luck, but this rhyme was said to ward misfortune away...
"Airy mouse, airy mouse, fly over my head,
And you shall have a crust of bread,
And when I brew and when I bake,
You shall have a piece of my wedding cake."
