With so many spineless, teenage and friendly vampire characters appearing in modern books and movies, it’s easy to forget that vampires were completely different from the beginning and many, oh, more scary.
The world is full of legends and stories about mythical monsters, mysterious creatures and incredible creatures. Some of these monsters were inspired by real animals or found fossils, while others are symbolic expressions of human deep fear.Hundreds of years ago, our ancestors trembled and trembled and trembled at the mention of the names of monsters, which is not surprising given how horrible their myth can be.
In this short review, we’ll talk about just the most terrifying of the 20, and sometimes even the weirdest monsters - vampires, viscous creatures and other onedies, which by the standards of our ancestors were one of the most terrifying and disgusting creatures in the world.
Kalikanjaro
Coliconzaro spends most of the year in the underworld (where it is unknown) and only attends until 12 at night between Christmas and Epiphany, because he knows that people are too drunk to escape this holiday night. His black, narrow face, red eyes and free look on his playful face are enough to take the festive mood away from anyone, while Colicanzaro is not satisfied with snatching everyone from the fun. The monster ripped someone off with its long claws and then swallowed the torn body.
According to Greek tradition, any child born between Christmas and Epiphany will eventually become a Colicanzaro. Scary, isn't it? But parents should not be afraid, because there is a cure. To remove the curse, the newborn's legs need to be pressed against the fire.
But what a holiday without family reunion! Touchingly, Colinzaro remembers his family when he was human and looking forward to finding his ex-siblings. But only when he finally finds them will he swallow them.
Souquant
According to Caribbean mythology, the Souquant is a type of werewolf who belongs to the local class of "embarrassment" dis. Turns out, it goes in search of its prey. Souquant finds the wanderers overnight and then exchanges it with ghosts for mysterious powers.
According to European vampire mythology, if the prey survives, he is also a cocoon. In order to kill a monster, you have to pour salt into the solution on its skin, after which the fragile creature will die in the morning, as it is "behind the skin". "Will not be able to.
Penangalan
is quite possible that the creature we will describe in this paragraph is the most disgusting of the whole list!
Penangalan is a nightmare monster that looks like a woman during the day. However, at night he “removes” his head and flees in search of the victims, while Penangalan’s spine and all internal organs hang around his neck. And this is truly a Malaysian legend, not the invention of modern filmmakers!
The monster's internal organs glow in the dark and can be used as a tent to clear the path to Penangalan. Also, the animal grows hair at will to stop the prey.
When Penangalan notices a suitable house, he tries to get inside with the help of a "tent." With luck, the monster devours all the little kids in the house. With no way to get into the house, the mysterious creature spreads its incredibly long tongue under the house and tries to reach the sleeping occupants through cracks in the floor. If Penangalan's tongue goes to the bedroom, it digs into the body and sucks the victim's blood.
In the morning, Penangalan soaks its interior in vinegar in such a way that they shrink in size and can fit into her body again.
Kelpie
Kelpie is a water spirit that lives in the rivers and lakes of Scotland. Although the calpy usually appears in the form of a horse, it can also take the form of a human. Often the Calpies lure people to ride on their backs, after which they drag the victims underwater and swallow them. However, stories of evil water horses served as a great warning for children to stay away from the water and for women to be wary of beautiful strangers.
Gaul
A ghost can only look like an ordinary Russian person. He even has the ability to walk in daylight like the Russians. However, he is not Russian. There is a naughty vampire behind its irrational activities, if they give him at least a drop of blood তারা u200b \ u200b they will gladly reject all the vodka in the world. What’s more, his love for blood is so great that he can eat your heart out just to have fun after you break his metal teeth.
Ghosts also love children (although you guessed it, not parental love), like the taste of their blood, and always drink their blood before ruining their parents. He is also not bothered by the taste of the icy mud, according to legend, he uses his metal teeth to get out of his grave in the deep grave in winter, when his hands freeze due to the weak heat in the coffin.
Basilisk
The basilica is commonly described as a crested snake, although sometimes a snake-tailed rooster is described. This creature can kill birds with a breath of fire, a sighted person and living creatures with a simple hiss. Legends say that the basilisk is born from a snake or snowflake covered by a rooster. The word "basilisk" is translated from Greek as "little king", so this creature is often called "snake king". During the Middle Ages, the plague on the basilisk was accused of being the cause of epidemics and mysterious killings.
Assabansam
Chances are, you're familiar with Hook Man's old urban legend. Thus, as it turned out, representatives of the Ashanti community in Ghana told a similar (more frightening) story about Asasabansam, a strange vampire with iron claws instead of legs that lived in the depths of the African forest. He hunts by hanging from the branches of trees and throwing the hooks mentioned above on the bodies of those who become restless under this tree. Spend most of the night removing your blood stains.
Unlike most vampires, it feeds on both humans and animals (so one is called Human Being of Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)). Asabansam's most surprising thing is that when a man is his victim, he first bites his thumb before moving on to the rest of his body, perhaps to stop you from stopping the journey and to return home if you like - one day escape from his hook It will be possible.
Esmodius
Asmodius is a giant of lust who is known for most of the book Tobit (the second principle text of the Old Testament). He chases a woman named Sarah and kills her seven husbands out of jealousy. The Talmud mentions Asmodias as the prince of demons who expelled King Solomon from his kingdom. Some folklorists believe that Asmodius is the son of Lilith and Adam. It is rumored that he is responsible for distorting people's sexual desires.
Varakolach
Varakolach (s) is probably the most powerful of all vampires, so it is not at all clear why very little is known about him without having difficulty pronouncing the name (try to say it out loud seriously). According to legend, his dermatologist's worst nightmare - it's severely pale and dry, and no amount of body lotion can cure it, but otherwise he looks like a normal person.
Oddly enough, such a terrifying creature as the Romanian Varakolak has only one superpower, but what a superpower! It can absorb the sun and the moon (in other words, it can cause solar and lunar eclipses at will), which is great in all its techniques. However, in order to do this, he must fall asleep, because apparently, the beginning of astrological events today that may frighten us, and it must have given rise to horrific terror among the people of more primitive cultures, takes on a tremendous amount of power.
Do ghosts exist in real life?
According to the Bible, demons are fallen angels without any place in heaven. According to legend, demons are slaves of Satan and carry out his evil plans.
The demon is considered a spiritual creature, so many ask the question: Do ghosts exist or is it just a figment of human imagination carried by religion? It’s pretty hard to believe that you can’t see or that you can’t touch with your own hands, but in reality, every human being has a belief in these creatures, it reveals itself in their privacy.
In ancient times, there was a superstition that ghosts would constantly crawl on the ground and bite with those walking shoes, injecting the disease-causing "liquid" into their feet, which, after coming into the house, could negatively affect others. This is why people have developed the habit of turning their shoes into "home" shoes, which are preserved in modern society.
Another example is the shaking of children, a practice that originated long ago in countries where the dead were wrapped in cloth. Superstitious people believed that by shaking a child they would deceive the demon and he would not want to harm the dead child.
Whether you believe in ghosts or not, it is best not to follow different customs in order to communicate with them. Do not forget that these are real spiritual beings, whose main goal is the death of a person. This is why you should avoid contacting various magicians and fortune tellers, because no one knows in advance which way they are, good or bad.
