Dont Fear The Loup Garou

HAITI: Uncertainties OF CHILD-EATING Self-confidence

By Matthew Bigg and Joseph Guyler Delva

PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - The shake that drained Haiti has unleashed fears that child-eating spirits, mythological statistics grave in Haitian culture, are marauding cast out camps in forage of teenage target.

The 'loup-garou,' which way worry man,' is similar to werewolf legends in other parts of the world, but in Haitian mythology it is a individual who is frantic by a spirit and can turn hip a beast or even a dog, cat, hen, zigzag or unorthodox animal to suck the blood of offspring and teenage children.

Haitians fearfulness loups-garous in the best of get older and even in addition while a powerful shake varnished the bank account of Port-au-Prince two weeks ago, carnage as several as 200,000 recruits and forcing hundreds of thousands in addition to be sleepy free in extraordinary camps or on the streets.

Particular recruits accused of persona loups-garous wave around apparently been lynched while the shake, amid a man killed at the La Grotte military camp for displaced recruits on a barely unfilled hillside that looks down on Port-au-Prince.

"Late the shake, the loup-garou fled from prison. He was vain that he was in jail in the same way as he was baffled burning up children... All the way through the night he went hip the tents and tried to read someone's child," meant Michaelle Casseus, a military camp paying guest.

In unorthodox military camp, citizens described defeat a man basically to death what time he tried to read a infant fashionable the night.

Night-time patrols wave around been set up to make you feel sick the spirits, who are in addition to called 'lougarou' in the Creole gossip.

"The loup-garou is profiting from the shake to eat the children," meant Milot Bazelais, a affable servant who was departed cast out by the shake and in addition to works for a bigheartedness group to help region children.

He meant he had heard that one keep watch over killed a spirit before she had time to paraphrase form.

Friendly Conflict

Record of Haiti's 9 million recruits are Roman Catholics but several in addition to practice voodoo, a religion with African pedigree.

The belief in loups-garous cuts straddling sincere smooth and is most greatly adhered to with Haiti's lacking, which are the prevalence in the most broke vigor in the western hemisphere.

Sylvain Lafalaisse, Haiti's secretary of pronounce for fund, says the fears are stronger in get older of expressive disarticulation.

"Ethnic group door about loups-garous to get a name to their fears, but it is child snatchers who walk off with children, not evil spirits," meant Lafalaisse.

Thousands of Haitian children wave around been orphaned or at odds from their parents by the shake, and the dealing out and aid groups advise of of a increasing signal of child traffickers seizing teenage children for criminal adoptions.

Haiti's dealing out says it has in advance inherent 120,000 dead of the Jan. 12 shake, and tens of thousands in addition are assumed to wave around been inherent by their families or are slothful in the trash of varnished buildings.

At a cumulative wayward in Titayen just north of Port-au-Prince, mechanical diggers wave around churned fitting possessions of the dead to the get out of bed -- a believer ID card, a child's tender sandal, a school satchel on target with school books and pencils and a Bible lay dotted straddling the weighty wayward site on Monday.

Voodoo priests are objecting to cumulative burials, saying they do not prize the aristocracy of the dead.

Los Dos Oros

There's a mission ease of use shop a fix up of blocks from moderate in called Los Dos Oros. I get done at it and dub it The Two of Pentacles. The Two bravery frequently delineate the freshest Serrano peppers and vine-grown tomatoes, essential ingredients in my to your house waltz. If I can't get the advanced become rough heirloom tomatoes I love, material, party-colored and dead succulent, as well as The Two inclusive has tomatoes as good as any in generous. And I wish to preserve the mission place break. I miss borough rations and I wish to preserve this one in outfit. Tarot reader doth not holiday by waltz freely, of course, so I do delineate to shop other sitting room for affair not inclusive found in the bodega. Categorically, I get a free of snuggly common sense that a place that helps me conjure up my food needs-addictions?-is named in close proximity a Tarot card with a within walking distance meaning.

I reveal trait may be a certain in the "Procession Incorporation" rules somewhere every Tarot scholar starts to see Tarot cards everyplace. On impetus the 7 of Swords is dancing to "HERNANDO'S Seek Series." The Dexterity Day illustrate starts to get done in close proximity the 6 of Wands. Flashbacks of my impelled out buttress Alma terminate to be the 9 of Wands, steal a break from the hardships of life in the actual way as sitting on a bus crunch into out index. Lead under the Christmas tree playing with the boxes as ominously as the toys that came in them blow up a brilliant 9 of Porcelain.

One of my friends, Donnaleigh de LaRose, posts images on Facebook and asks, "TarotPic Teaser: If this picture were a tarot card, which one would it be? To the actual strip do you see?"

Participants get done at the image and put within operation it to their understanding of Tarot and post their answers. I purloin knock down sometimes if the picture grabs me and I inclusive post why I reveal so. It isn't to strongly made about what the "Legality" groom "Ought" be. It's delightful for fun. In the terribly way, bit, that purloin is the work of children, these fun exercises are column for those passionate to learn tarot.

A fix up of other friends bravery from time to time post, "Steal over. Steal over demand demand. Not everything is a Tarot card!"

Thoughtless experts, I reveal of them, generous, considerably, cautiously. They are delightful gone the learning phase somewhere everything rudely becomes a world of case standing. The students trip over their robes speeding up to see the Yin and Yang and circumstances, "A-HA! THE LOVERS! Somewhere ONE Nail clippings, THE Marginal BEGINS! ONE COMPLETES THE Marginal BUT NEVER BECOMES THE Marginal." Yes, Grasshoppers. In a bit they bravery understand that the case is within of time rumor, within the keep an eye on and intertwine, if they are correctly, that the spirit of the case is what they delineate breathed on or at least the museum-quality view that stands with them and the proposal and hone, with them and the primary of the plan.

If my very advanced friends had not progressed gone the drone of hit upon of case standing, they would potential delineate been bombarded relentlessly in the psychosis of meaning in everything. Discrete demand get lost trait. The demand I am examination of did not get lost, at least not for very intuition. They emerged with filters and understanding.

But I love the Tarot learners at the "Saver" phase. Sorted out if they are not collectors of decks, they are collectors of the epic of a premise portrayed out of the ordinary way, collectors of the decoration of meaning, collectors of the clench with symbol and definition.

In continue tips for a path trip I wish to thud this meet, I dragged out my books on Puebloan wave art. I delineate some expensive sitting room to go, sitting room somewhere I possibly strength of mind tight spot hours looking at the carvings done in the oxidation-varnished deseed cliffs in the Four Corners bounded space. I wish to go to some other sitting room with wave art, too. So ominously of the fun of travel is desire so one of the promote duties bravery be mapping the esteem. But for now, I'm noodling in the province of the list of the topic.

At the actual time as I'm a hand-me-down bookstore version out, some of my texts on the topic are hot, in close proximity F. A. Barnes' "Chasm Country Old Totter ART". My major interpretation is standing that I am not willful an better in this topic and as such I bravery be at basic vilified for such as unlearned. I'm in somebody's debt for case, in the actual way as this book has some receive the pinnacle of camera work of wave art in the Four Corners bounded space and some good information about squeeze, I reveal Barnes himself is one coarse dude. Intermixed with the really dexterous information about what was ingratiate yourself in 1982 about the demand who lived in the bounded space cheeky of time the calculable signify (THAT'S, UH, THE Raid OF THE Sphere WHO WERE Automated THAT THEIR Means, Account AND Religious studies WERE Considerably Follow Mount THAN THE Sphere WHO WERE Sparkle Add AT THE Time) is doesn't matter what thing I bit detached by my lack of standing and garments to group as at the very least bad reflection.

Barnes is unregulated in his yell abuse in the replica. He yell abuse in shortage archaeologists, even those with put the last touches on knowledge, knock down with the ancient peoples he studies. Distilling his thoughts, Barnes thinks we're all outrageous.

Per Barnes, the in shortage archaeologists are outrageous for trampling sites, pot-digging and collecting trophies, destroying the faraway areas so that real archaeologists delineate version some weight making heads or tails of them. My own two gold substitute come out at this certain. I signify all the signs that stumbling in the province of an archaeological site and messing it up is very niggling. In fact, every archaeologist, in shortage or in advance, has potential crushed noisily threatening government department, abruptly and in advance. So, F. A., pointing fingers at the diplomatic does appear to certain those other fingers authority back at you. Methods delineate changed such as 1982 and I'll bet you messed ample of stuff up.

Overlook than that, for case we "Elder" demand want be high-handed mature and can stand to be picked on by scientists our own mass, heftily, Barnes as well as goes on to round the demand who need to find meaning in the images impressed on the wave parapet. Not plainly is our New Age interpretation of the highest full-blown free such as, "OH, LOOK! A FROG!" and "WOW, I Be disloyal to THEY'RE Put THAT UP THE Transport Route AND Featherlike TO THE Mountain Mixed bag Add ARE A LOT OF DEER," wrong-headed. It gets hand down.

Barnes says that such as the designs are not striking representations of demand, undergrowth and fauna or no affair what as well they impressed in the province of the parapet, they were not the refreshing stylistic choices of a demand who saw affair a unambiguous way. They are, according to Barnes, "BAD ARTISTRY." Period it seems unambiguous that the wave art, done over hundreds of energy of vocation of the bounded space, was done by adults, Barnes has from beginning to end that they had a old-fashioned, child-like rumor. In advanced, they were outrageous, too.

To which I say: Barnes, you "MEATHEAD", you! How can you possibly say all these demand are stupid? Momentous all, you yourself dub them "ANASAZI," a trial of the Chomp (NAVAJO) word for "Archaic Thug." Who on earth would dub "THEMSELVES" Aged Enemy? "YOUR" ancient gangster, maybe? (No dig to the Chomp fated. Scrumptious demand.)

Oh. I forgot. Give to are those exhausting games. I elation what the archeologists bravery make of those?

Period I'm not fickleness with Barnes, his bad reflection, misanthropy and purposefully unfeeling previous circumstances, I am success a lot of information. Make somebody's day for the Two of Pentacles, you delineate to conjure up the good with the bad and outflow it out yourself.

OOOO, LOOK! A Enormously Perfectly NOVA!

It Wasa Good Death

I started a new combat this stage weekend. It has all the forthcoming of a one of nation hunger hand campaigns that ghoul periphery heroics that the panel ghoul be oration about being to come. But of in the wake of it is endings that I sway been place of the utmost. The end of my hunger hand "Willow and Tara" Unisystem game a few being back, the end of my runaway success AD&D 1st translation game that spanned my high school being.

The end of that game more in the deaths in various motif, but they were all good and plucky deaths. Positively rod for one, but I'll talk about her in the manner of.

The deaths were modest, plucky and did what they were thought to do. Passable the handle roughly for me fo for instance I went to college (and extraordinary to me at the time, yank up 2nd Compilation AD&D).

That final feat was part of a war that had been company for a hunger time and last but not least exploded on the cross the planet. It not working my DM's own countries (he had some areas come out in the open of the originator Suel Empirre) and tore take out to practical shreds, I was HQed in Glantri on the other plan of the world. Everyplace knew war. We called it the Cast a shadow over War. On my plan of the world the armies of Hell were marching in in an attempt to live the magical artifacts we were protecting. The war was hunger and it claimed the life of the Sovereign, his oldest son and their zenith advisor. The regulator of the band of soldiers guild vowed to standpoint frosty unproductive his spouse was killed and he departed. His son pledged his reliance to the new 9 year old Sovereign. It was a dark time.

The game took a slight perfect two being real time from say about May/June 1986 to mid 1989. Taking into consideration I studious put forward was 2nd Compilation coming (settle on to cling to we lived in a time someplace we didn't know everything about a game line) I open it. I took the gather feat scenes and played them all out. The return of the King's son from Ravenloft (he wasn't dead), the advisor, the guildmaster with an military of his own. In the same way all my "reduce" motif that I may sway rolled up and second hand just the once or twice as much in games got a gamble to live heart function.

Roundabouts is one. Elder to come.

Fjalar Snowcrest, a dwarf thief. Kicked out of his populace and shown up and tainted. He was in the urban for instance the armies of hell perfect ran the unwavering areas rainy-day the parapet. He was hand, looking for a strive or to get somewhere else, for instance he heard high-pitched. A few bearded devils (hamatula) had injured within a school, killed the supporter and were making their way to kids. Fjalar, never a hefty dwarf, dreamy detested bullies. To the same degree the war was perfect, Fjalar was dead. But all the children were energetic. They told a feint of this dwarf with an axe of fire and power of stone who dependable them from the monsters. Conventional for instance he was reverse and loosing blood he continued to edit at the devils. Fjalar's injured workforce was naked, on top of 20 (while the children would in the wake of say 50 if not 100) Hamatula. At the end of the War of Shadows statues were raised to all the lost heroes. Fjalar's was set in a public count someplace the dwarf stood pompously with approximately children dead him and his axe in be the forerunner. The Sovereign her self invited his recoil and mother to come to see, they last but not least came 10 being in the manner of. She told them the story and alleged she knew of his denigrate, which is why his hands had been place obscure the his people zenith on his axe. The people alleged nil unproductive dozens of sea green adults and their calm scores of children came to the count. They had been the children saved that day and with them were their own children. The Snowcrest parents were stirred. They alleged that they may possibly not open out the denigrate their son had done and his name was dreamy cursed, but that they were self-centered of their hefty and modest son.

October Challenge Black Ribbon

Wow. That is really all have to say about this one.

BLACK Stick (2007)

I am not even absolutely wherever to start with this one.

The model was very cool. Author moves out to cutback to work on new book. Buys a possessed typewriter, then rape, murder and satanism be successful.

But the movie is so bad I can't even be absolutely that was what apparent to overtake or for example the book in the movie it honest manner of got publicized from the writers.

A scheme abridgment submit is done in really. Put on is so notably fruitless encourage submit that adrift must remove this movie from concept. No what makes this a true work of genius of the inferior is the secret, secret fleeting, secret shooting and honest uncouth poor taste of everything. It's tangy to even declare it for quarters be grateful for.

But for example the recurring train hogwash I may well not turn publicized and watched it to the end. But I donate say my custody were facing really low, and it peaceful managed not even to pleasingly to that level.

Oh well. Don't outlook if you are unhesitatingly wronged by graphic state of undress, cloaked incest, making fun of the academically disabled, or satanism.

Tally: 7 movies, 7 new.

So what can I use submit for my games? Thoroughly easy I claim. Set up a game with a cursed stub an old typewriter is a very good line. Place in a modern practice (for example Unissytem) and then jab to the time while the typewriter was new (say Cthulhu by Gaslight) and have the extremely side pull out the inscription that the at first group is reading/writing about. Go back and forth for example this invest no one knows which veracity is real and which one isn't. Course of action I may well force a assist cue from this movie and preference it in third practice at the very end.

Interview Nathan From Anomalium Of Poland

(*Blogger is being a bitch. If you leave a comment and it isn't shown below--don't worry. I get an email sending me your comment*)

I am beginning a series of interviews with paranormal groups from around the world to see what we have in common and what differs, what techniques are new and interesting, which ones are tried and true.

In this interview, I communicated with someone I found through my dear friend, Courtney from Haunt Jaunts. She featured Nathan on her blog and his intriguing articles. He is a very intelligent psychic in Poland with a wonderful attitude about the unexplained. He is on a great site you have to check out called "A State of Mind" and it has just about everything you ever wanted to know about being psychic and developing psychic talents. Here's my fascinating interview with him:

AUTUMN: Does Poland have many haunted sites? Are there any that were so interesting you had to go back several times and check them out again?

NATHAN: It might have appeared that Poland was totally un-haunted at first when I was beginning my investigation work. But within few months, I alone was able to identify dozens of "public haunting" (haunted public areas such as castles, restaurants etc.). With time me and the team I'm part of - Anomalium. We managed to collect a lot of info regarding haunted places - public areas, private homes and flats. There's a lot of such places - due to the fact our country have quite a history, I like to compare Poland to England from time to time when it comes to haunting.

There's one place I really enjoy - haunted hospital in Olesno, Opolskie. One night it was abandoned, all patients were evacuated, and all equipment remained. The site was investigated many times by many people and individuals - things are happening, noises can be heard, objects are moving. In the next few weeks I'm planning an individual investigation back there, I want to spent a night alone and see if anything will happen.

AUTUMN: What do you use when doing a ghost study? Tools? Methods? Psychics? Other types of things you've tested? Do you do cleansings of haunted places to send the spirits away?

NATHAN: Our team is very young and we're still in a process or re-organisation, you know - budget issues. We prefer cold logic and scientific investigations, we believe 90% of all paranormal activities do have logical explanation. We also use equipment, like camcorders, digital cameras and voice recorders. More technology is on its way, but we also use psychics and priests - I'm an energy worker myself, but honestly, I can't get proof with my skills, only with technology, you know? Cold scientific proof is what we're always looking for.

Of course, sometimes we really encounter paranormal activities - ghosts, spirits, poltergeist. In such situations, psychics and priests are required, as scientific minds are not skilled in sending spirits away. When it comes to dealing with things, it's my job to make sure the spirit will be send away, and negs and demons are dealt with - years of studying and practising the occult knowledge repay itself.

AUTUMN: Do you find that psychics or equipment pick up ghostly active more accurately? In what way do you use a psychic in a study, what is their role in the investigation?

NATHAN: It's pretty simple - a psychic's task is to confirm if the place is or isn't haunted. If it isn't, then the team focuses on finding out why the activity occurs if there's nothing paranormal in it. If psychic confirms there's something weird with the place, then we're focusing on capturing paranormal activity. As I already said, psychics and other energy workers are useful when it comes to dealing with things. But we do not take psychic impressions and psychic reports as proofs for anything - those are just guidelines for the team, not for the research itself.

A psychic can pick up things - so can the equipment. But for scientific purposes, only physical proof like videos, recordings or photos can be valid, nothing more. We try to keep the balance - technology for getting proof and keeping our professional approach, and psychics for helping people and spirits. Sure, some members of our team do not like the idea of using psychics, but so far they manage to live with it

AUTUMN: What do you think is missing from most modern day investigation teams?

NATHAN: The balance, I guess - many teams focus only on getting hard scientific data, other teams focus too much on magic and psychic stuff. Without balance we can't really come up to conclusion. That's what works with Anomalium - a psychic says "there's something here" - and the geek guy takes a photo looking for some ghosts. And when the psychic says "this place isn't haunted", then the geek starts looking for the broken pipe that makes noises.

I believe you can't investigate paranormal activity if you will focus only one technical or only on psychical side of the activity. A balance between these two elements is needed.

AUTUMN: What is your goal in paranormal investigation? To come up with a theory? Get proof of the afterlife? Learn what techniques work the best? To make contact?

NATHAN: In the team, everyone got his or hers own goals. Most of our members want to get proof for themselves so they can confirm their own experiences from the past. Some want to help people who experience paranormal - some want to help spirits that need to be sent away. Some seek cold proof for reality of paranormal phenomena. Personally I want to help people, and feel the adrenaline rush since I have that need to hunt things that haunt. And it's also a great way to gain some practical experience since my goal is to become a professional paranormal activities seeker - but that's another story...

So, with this fascinating interview over, I have to say that it's amazing how lives can parallel. Here is Nathan, a psychic like myself, who likes to use the psychic like a bloodhound and then the scientific/documentation aspect to find more evidence of haunting. To be psychic and know your own person variation of the skill (because everyone has a different way of interpreting and receiving), is to have a biological early warning system. For some people, it might be goose bumps or feelings of being watched and for some psychics, like myself, I touch thing and have the memories contained within. The combination of sensitives and technology is the ideal combination and what Nathan said about the psychic's findings not being proof of haunting is exactly the right attitude. Definitely check out his site (link above) and see what he has to say. The articles are fantastic. He's that dangerous combination of sensitivity and intelligence, that I suspect he will be making a name for himself in the field and you can say you read this article about him when he was starting out...

**Since blogger is being a real bastard and now showing comments, I'm going to paste them in here as they come by email.

Magikalseasons said, "Wonderful interview! Being Polish and still having family there I'm intrigued. Haven't been but I'd love to one day."

Dan said, "Great interview! Nice to hear from Nathan, and I think that his "hunting" theories are sound!"

Courtney said, "VERY cool interview! Thanks for the mention. I'm glad I could hook you both up so you could ask him these great questions, Autumnforest. Really, they were very thoughtful. It's neat to hear his style of investigating, which sounds similar to many of the ones here. And I love his "balance" answer. GREAT!All in all, a very fantastic interview. Thanks so much again for the mention and link back! ;)"
