Transcript

Legends We've all heard them (probably around a camp fire at some point). Some of them scary, some entertaining and some are down right funny. Halloween legends. Legends have become a very important and integrated part of Halloween traditions. However, its hard to say how legends developed and how they got to where they are today. Vampires are perhaps one of the most mysterious of the legends, with a history that goes back many generations. A vampire is a creature that lurks in the shadows of the night, stalking its prey for blood. It has been proposed that the idea of vampires can be traced to the days of human sacrifice and cannibalism. Although these are unimaginable subjects today, they were once ceremonial parts of certain cultures. Today, when most people think of vampires, Pennsylvania comes to mind. However, thanks to the many novels, movies and television shows based on the idea of vampires, it is not impossible to believe that a vampire could be nearby. Being located in the mountains of North Carolina, it is not uncommon to hear a howling at night. Most would say it was a catamount or some other form of mountain lion. However, never rule out the possibility of a werewolf. A werewolf is a human that transforms into a wolf at the sight of a full moon, to then roam the night consuming anything in its path. The legend of the werewolf has many aspects. One thought is that Christians used to use the idea of werewolves to personify Satan or an evil being. To further support this concept, many churches forced the mentally ill to testify that they actually turned into wolves. Thankfully, by the 17" century, this practice was discontinued due to lack of evidence. Presently, werewolves are only mentioned around Halloween, in novels or blockbuster movies. Although, on some full moon evenings, when the crazies are about, it may seem as though a werewolf could be at hand. When thinking of the pyramids and Egypt, one cannot help but to imagine mummies. Unlike skeletons, mummies are bodies, wrapped in cloth, that have retained some of the muscles photo by: laura greene and skin tissues. Due to curses placed on the tombs of the deceased, after a disturbance, mummies come to life, haunting the living. The act of creating a mummy Is a long process usually taking over a month to complete. The first steps include removing the internal organs, while carefully preserving the physical body. The body is then rinsed, dried and wrapped with cloth. Once all of these processes are completed, the body is ready to be placed in the tomb. Luckily, the only chances most of us have to run into a mummy within the mountains is at our doorstep. All one has to do is give it some candy. Perhaps one of the most famous Halloween myths is the Irish legend of the Headless Horseman. However, it is unclear how this legend got its start. The Headless Horseman carries his head in his right arm as he rides through the woods at night. It is said that where he stops, a moral dies. The horseman can also use his head to see far distances at night, usually spotting the houses of those that are sick. But never fear, the Headless Horseman is most lively in the Irish country sides. Of course there are many _ other Halloween myths and legends, but these are some of the few that have been adapted to modern culture. This Halloween, be on the lookout for these creatures, even though they may only be found at the local theatre. Source: www.meridiangraphics.net NEWS| jagazine
