She feeds on human essence.
This one is my Rabid #Wolf, I think he looks proper scary, what do you think?
Since we're going to @Horrorconuk this weekend I thought I'd brush up my #Werewolf pics!
I've always been fond of #Werewolves and it is #FolkloreThursday

Her dress being torn,
She quickly became melancholy.

'Twill be a summer of fire and smoke."

There once was a sculptor named Phidias
Whose manners in art were invidious
He carved Aphrodite without any nightie
Which startled the ultra fastidious #NationalLimerickDay #Rossetti #FolkloreThursday

If the #Tanabata #Festival gets rained upon, it is known as "the tears of Orihime & Hikoboshi." For it is said, if rain falls on the "Star-Festival," the magpies cannot form a bridge over the Milky Way & the two lovers must wait another year to see each other. #FolkloreThursday
