supernatural
The hidden world of all things supernatural; a look inside witchcraft, spells, vexes, black magic and other spine-tingling supernatural phenomena.
Something Watches from the Tree Line...
The first sign is never what people expect. It isn’t a scream. It isn’t a shape. It isn’t even fear... The very first moment is the instant the woods stop sounding normal. Hunters, loggers, campers, soldiers; people who spend their lives outdoors, all describe it the same way. Birds go silent. Wind drops. Insects vanish as if someone flipped a switch. The forest doesn’t explode into chaos. It holds its breath... And that’s when people realize they are no longer alone in the way they thought they were.

After all, everyone has heard a ghost story, and many claim to have had a personal brush with spirits. Yet, many others are more skeptical, stating that the idea of ghosts makes no sense. How about you? Do you believe in ghosts?

The Other Woman
The video had been playing for six minutes when Maya realized the woman was describing her nightmare. Not a nightmare. Her nightmare. The one she'd been having for three weeks straight, the one that left her gasping awake at 3 AM with the taste of smoke in her mouth and the phantom sensation of drowning. The woman on screen—pale, dark circles carved beneath her eyes—spoke in a monotone that made Maya's skin crawl.

Blood Lust: Hybridity and Heteroglossia of Vampires
Mikhail Bakhtin: The Heteroglossia of Gothic Tales Bakhtin (1895 - 1975), the Russian literary theorist and linguistic rhetor, contends that within any text, there exists a multitude of social voices, often contradicting voices entangled in dialogue: the writer's, the reader's, and other cultural voices. Meaning is found or lost in the rhetorical act found between the two or multitude of speakers. This heteroglossia (Discourse in the Novel) presents a problem because we often miss the plurality of sounds and only notice the sound of Butoh Dancers of death and vampire leaders who suck our blood and taxes.
