Ticket stub found pressed between pages of a 1980s Deseret News. A faded theater date. A name we almost forgot. Was this Veronica's final curtain call? #urbanlegend #folklore #mysterious

A rough-looking man is collapsed between two beer barrels, a bottle of beer in one hand and a tankard in the other. He is making a toast to a host of Little People who are egging him on to further excesses.
Ah well, it's Monday morning. But at least we can look back on a jolly weekend.
Illustration by Brock from 'English Fairy & Folk Tales' by Sidney Hartland, 1890.

Once, the Devil tried confessing his sins, and receive the sacrament of absolution.
Which was rather awkward, for all concerned.

A man in a forest wears a Jersey Devil t-shirt while a shadowy horned creature with wings appears behind him in the fog.
You ever get that feeling in the woods…
like something clocked you before you saw it?
The Jersey Devil’s been part of American folklore since the 1700s — Pine Barrens, New Jersey.

An overhead view shows an overgrown stone circle, known as the Druid's Temple folly, nestled in a forest.
Close up of tomb and sacrificial altar (part of the folly)
Looking out of the tomb our at the stone circle

🆕 🧙♂️🏛️ 🇬🇧 New location feature: The Druid’s Temple, England.
Lost in the forests of #Yorkshire, a series of stone pillars form a circle.
This isn't an actual "Druid's Temple", it is an elaborate 19th-century folly.
However, the site is tied to unusual local […]

Shot from a 1931 trailer for the film 'Dracula' showing three women clad in white dresses in a cobwebby, gothic-looking crypt.
The 3 female vampires in 'Dracula' may have been inspired by the 3 witches in Macbeth. This dark play was often staged at the Lyceum Theatre, which Bram Stoker managed. His boss, actor Henry Irving, was a model for the Count. #FolkloreSunday #Folklore #gothic #ShakespeareSunday #literature #books

In Chinese #folklore and philosophy, Dao Zhi (盗跖) stands as a scandal to moral order: a notorious bandit said to command 9,000 thieves, ravaging the Spring and Autumn world through robbery, livestock theft, and abduction. He dismissed kinship, ignored ancestor rites, and pursued profit 1/2

On The Irish Names That Were Not Dale Tudge If someone had handed me Croker’s Fairy Legends, I would have said sprites, elves, hobgoblins, and understood them perfectly well. I had the English vocabulary for Irish things and did not know it was the wrong vocabulary. Yeats corrected that when he selected and edited Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry. The sidhe were not sprites, the Leanhaun Shee was not, precisely, a muse, and English had no word for what these creatures were and my education had not prepared me to notice.
I believe the whole a-musing enterprise arose from a clerical error—a Newcastle publisher mistook Ernest Rhys for John Rhys, a Celtic professor at Oxford.
Ernie earned the title retroactively, once Yeats had finished the volume—absent the word #sprite.

A painted red triangle "road sign" depicting a classic sheet-covered hobby horse (of the type usually seen with Morris dancers) often seen in traditional folk customs in the British Isles.
Dunno what you've been doing with your Sunday afternoon but for some reason I did this "Oss Crossing" sign.

A mysterious stone temple, appearing like a ruin, sits nestled in a lush green forest, with hexagonal insets showing closer views of its stone architecture. Text reads: New Location, Mysterious stone temple, nestled in the forest of northern England, Sunday 8pm (UK),

Pie-billed Grebe, P. p. podiceps, summer plumage By Dori - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=9617312
The Pied-billed Grebe is often called the "water witch" because she disappears underwater so quickly, leaving only her head visible. In the pickerelweed, she is a master of the "now you see her, now you don’t" swamp magic. #SwampSunday #NatureLore #Okefenokee #Folklore

Photographer: Robert R Leahey, Photographed in May 1957. Georgia's best-known traditional storyteller was fishing guide Lem Griffis. Griffis entertained visitors to his fish camp outside Fargo with well-honed whoppers such as a tale, called "Odd Insects," told to Kay L. Cothran: "See that honey a-sittin' up there on the shelf? Well, I crossed my bees with lightnin' bugs so they could see how t' work at night, an' they make a double crop o' honey every year." Stories about hunting and fishing, colorful characters of the past, and memories of growing up on one of the "islands" in the Okefenokee still abound in the region, but few could tell a tall tale like Lem Griffis.
For years, fishing guide Lem Griffis was the swamp's "unofficial Charon," guiding outsiders like filmmaker Jean Renoir through the blackwater. Known for "well-honed whoppers," he once claimed he crossed his bees with lightning bugs so they could work at night!. #SwampSunday #Folklore #Okefenokee
