According to an old Bashkir legend, a long-dead black horse once escaped its burial cave and galloped down all the way to the White River (Agidel), in which it disappeared.
Being followed by a mountain stream, that horse created the Black River (Karaidel).

In Peter Jackson's LOTR: The Return of the King, Aragorn and the Dead Army fight the Corsairs off-screen and the main battle occurs at Minas Tirith against Sauron's Orc Army. Jackson famously hated the idea of the army, calling them "unbelievable."

Isildur cursed them, trapping them without rest until their oath is fulfilled to his heirs. In LotR, Aragorn finds and summons the Dead Men for the Battle of the Pelennor Field & frees them afterwards.

The kyrkogrim is the Swedish variant of the English church grim: an animal that was buried alive beneath a church’s foundation and that subsequently wakes up from the dead each night to creep around the grounds and spook off ne’er-do-wells. #FaustianFriday 🖼️Reine Rosenberg
In "The Woman with Hair of Gold," a woman is killed by a man after rejecting him. For long time, no one notices her death. But then her golden hair starts to grow until her grave is filled w/ golden reeds. When people play flutes made of them, they sing the truth. #FaustianFriday
Hyakume (which means hundred eyes) is a #yokai that lurks around in the shadows of abandoned homes or empty temples.

A Flemish folktale says the devil once entered a crowded inn. When he started to dance with the innkeeper all the people flew away with the wind. They were never seen again. Soon after the innkeeper disappeared as well.

The tune & lyrics relied on the repetition of a couple of basic motifs which could be extended or shortened. Since there was no established keening ‘text’, the singer was expected to improvise based on feeling. Keening was rhythmically free, i.e. without a metre. #FaustianFriday
In the tale "Skeleton Woman," she drums on the fisherman's heart, singing "Flesh, flesh, flesh!" As she sang, the flesh returned to her body until she became a woman again. Many cultures believe that songs can attract what is most wanted and repel what is not. #FaustianFriday
#FaustianFriday The dark neoclassical band Nox Arcana experimented with setting parts of Bram Stoker’s Dracula to music in their album Transylvania. In ‘The Howling’, the Count’s famous lines are uttered: ‘Listen to them,the children of the night. What music they make.’
In western Brittany, the begou-noz (night mouths) were said to be little flames of light that repeated, at night, the words that they heard spoken on the wind. #FaustianFriday
Wicked Jack tricked the devil. Then he died and went to Hell, but Hell didn't want him! His old foe gave him an ember from the furnace to light his way back. Jack put it inside a turnip and with this jack-o’-lantern he has wandered the earth ever since...

In an Armenian folktale, a husband stops his mother and aunt from eating his wife 🔥
Just then the ground ripped open, the aunt fell into the crack and the ground closed above her. Both sisters were now under the ground where all giants went when they died.
