In Polish folklore, someone born with teeth has two souls. If they die young and aren’t decapitated and buried in two spots, the soul that remains will become a demonic witch called a strzyga, which flies about in the shape of an owl to suck the blood of the living.#Folklore
FAIRY FUNERALS. Sightings occur in #Folklore; recorded by Croker & Keightley in the C19th. #Blake claimed to have witnessed a #fairy burial in his own garden. Victorian artists John Anster Fitzgerald & Maxmillian Pirner invest fairy death scenes with fragile melancholy & wonder
While digging thru the already scarce material online for info about local #folklore, I came across this creature called a #fairy maid which is the female counterpart to a male #mermaid.

For #FolkloreThursday, our favorite demon in the whole world - the Shirime! A Shirime is a demon from Japanese legend that looks like a person, but has an eyeball where its anus should be. As one does.

From the 2nd Branch: Gwales (Grassholm) is an island off the Pembrokeshire Coast & the site of Brân the Blessed & his companions’ 80yr feast. Brân’s severed head entertained the party so that no one wanted to leave, despite an open door just by, facing Cornwall. #FolkloreThursday
A priest a witch?
Following my earlier tweet about the strangely witchy West Country, here's a weird case from my notes.
In 1898 a woman from Chew Magna, Somerset, caused a scene in church by saying she'd shoot the parson, because he'd 'overlooked' her family.
