They don’t like garlic, for some reason

It detoxes, purifies. Shaolin monks do a diet of eating only a drop of garlic a day. Then they increase, and then decrease. Nice way to detox.

The Dracula inspiration (I think, I’m not sure) (by Bram Stoker), comes from an amazonian tribe that had a lot of reverence to bats. They used to live to 100 years old, when most humans elsewhere would die at 40-50.

An spanish author/adventurer (I dunno what he is, really), went to the place (least hospitable place to humans in the whole amazon xD).

So there is this bat, that sucks your blood, but not as food, as he is sucking he is expelling it too. It is to clean himself (old theory…maybe now they know more). They have this tradition that people are sent to sleep in an open place, they capture the bat, and let them suck as they see fit.

Oh and they get buried with their own bat, their reason to have had lived a long life.

Usually, two times can be dangerous, three times fatal.

So this spaniard went there and got sucked well, didn’t catch the bat xD

He came to Spain and got diagnosed with a garlic allergy. If he ate only just a trace amount, he would vomit blood like crazy and wake up hours later in a daze.

Nonetheless he had exceptional health. Doctors did some research on him and I guess the bats, to find medicine for heart and vascular problems.

Another good thing about this is…I was once in a mood, went outside and asked the moon to make me immortal. Came back inside my house and this stuff was airing on tv xD

Now, this one is more personal, it was something that my grandfather told my grandmother and my mom; one night, back in the 50s he had to go home from another village, where he had some business that day, idk the details; back then people still used oil lamps, in rural areas (well, maybe some still do, but not necessary today); he had to go through a forest, over a hill and he saw someone having such an oil lamp, keeping the distance from him…

Now, here things become interesting: he thought he was going home, but he walked in another direction, going many kilometers over unsafe areas (there were also wolves), he was hypnotized by that light he saw, he was thinking that he was going home, but he was not…

Only when at sunrise did the “oil lamp” dissappeared and he realized where he was, many many kilometers away from home; he in another nearby village, and people there told him that that happens all the time, that people are mesnerized by something in the forest…

He returned home and told my grandma that he will never scoff again at the idea of such things like forest spirits, creatures, strigoi, etc.

Many such beings from romanian folklore have extraordinary powers, like hypnosis, usually they do not want to kill people though.

I know…a cute thing in the middle of the scary stuff…but the tribe thing has nothing to do with vampires and our whole mythos.

I think the bats die or ar killed though…bat was conserved their whole life xD

[anon25490707]

I guess that points to the importance of cleansing the blood? They acted like leeches in a way?

[Drift]

The blood is the life. - half remembered Dracula quote.

I think draining blood once in a lifetime wouldn’t make you live to 100.

Those bats are putting something in their bodies, or activating something.

I heard some people with autoimmune stuff say that their immune system got resetted (and they stopped taking medications) by getting sting by a bee.

Plus the spanish guy could eat garlic before ofc…we use garlic in everything…no matter how much he told about it in restaurants, he kept getting episodes.

Guy got mutations.

The only treatment available back in the day was vitamin K, if that tells anyone anything.

Leeches and blood-letting alone never had that effect.

But yeah…plasmafied blood will give you long life and youth.

I kinda got obssesed with doing that, back then, to keep myself healthy and maybe heal…but yknow doctors would only prescribe pills.

All the while, I was thinking of this movie

Hotarubi no Mori e - Trailer

Takes one’s own experience to get to this.

@SoulStar33

“What haunts me at night”

Observe some lights near two people, ONE OF THEM IN A FOREST, interesting, considering what i just told you…

[Drift]

Bro stop with the spooky stuff xD

i only get haunted by emotions, sleep, and songs from times past

like right now, im trying to remember a song with an indian chant that says something like “if you dont use money for good, it only brings karma”

oh by the way, my mother, or one of my aunts, had an affair with a ghost once xD

they went to the club, when they were teens. they danced with a guy…at some point he gave them his jacket, and they talked a bit and told them where he lived.

He then left without taking his jacket. So my mom and aunt went to her house to give it back. They asked about him, the parents seemed concerned. They described him to them, gave the full name, exchanged many details…the parents just got a more concerned expression and ended up admitting it was their son but he died years ago.

Then they gave them the jacket and it was a jacket he had and they tripped nuts. The parents even took my mother and aunt to the grave, to convince them.

Yep.
Heard such stories before…

[SoulStar33]

@Drift or anyone, do NOT read, If you are spooked…

Writing an interesting event, from a village in Romania, Târgu Frumos (it’s not where I am from btw)…

Heard this account on a paranormal romanian show:

Writing…

It was a Sunday, it was a gathering, a “Hora”, where people dance, young people find their mates, etc., a young guy, a stranger, no one knew him, appeared at the event and he was into a young girl, he wanted her, he was mesmerizing, the girl was caught in his power, apparently he went to more such gatherings, he even went to her house (it was not explicit, this part), anyway, someone knowleadgeable told her and her family that the guy was NOT normal, he was something else and that person told the girl thst the next time he comes to their house, she should take his boots off…

She did and he had HOOFS!

Gonna watch further and tell you how it ends.

[Drift]

These guys must have a field day there xD

We have a very popular “mystery” show. One of the main contributors got even prizes and stuff in Romania…he did a lot of research there.

Enrique de Vicente…dunno if he’d go on tv shows as collaborator there though.

@SoulStar33

a young guy, a stranger, no one knew him, appeared at the event and he was into a young girl, he wanted her, he was mesmerizing, the girl was caught in his power

He was VERY PALE, like dead pale, an intersting detail.

The young guy ONLY APPEARED AT NIGHT, at least after Sunset.

“Moașa” (an old lady) of the village followed him and she watched him go to the cemetery, she found his grave.

Also, the girl was feeling sick in his presence, he was clearly feeding off her.

Let’s see next.

The young woman had to splash Holy Water on that grave, and after that, THE YOUNG GUY NEVER APPEARED AGAIN.

That was a “Dead Strigoi”.

And IT’s OVER, I put a stop to such stories or accounts.

And a Myriad of other Beings.

I’m talking about DACIANS, the ancient inhabitants of Romania and from whom we got parts of our Folklore.

@Drift

dont trust this…the archangel likes the Church? weird

Its not that he likes the church, I’m pretty sure he doesnt, it’s that he doesn’t like people stealing his statue… So justice was served

[Drift]

I didn’t mean the church…churches and its people are nice. I meant “The Church”…mostly the Vatican…by force he may like the Church and there must be good people in the Vatican, compensating the low vibes…but generally is feels evil and they haven’t done anything to get clear of their past.
