Picture of the month

 

WATCH OUT! No it's not what you think it is. This is a picture of a wolf chewing on a pinecone. It looks pretty scary though as that wolf appears to have a mouth full of extra big teeth!

The spookiness of harvest moon

 Last night was during the full moon called "Harvest Moon". It looks an eerie orange colour and happens in early Autumn, either in September or early October, depending on when it occurs in each year. This is the full moon closest to the Autumn equinox. 

Some creepy events have happened during that certain moon phase. It seems the Harvest Moon is low hanging and lingers in the sky more than other full moons. It's been associated with horror films and the supernatural. Creepy and strange occurrences have been mentioned happening during the Harvest Moon phase, as mentioned by many. Hospitals have been experiencing chaos and weirdness during a full harvest moon night. Nurses and midwives said there are more patients being admitted during full moon times but odd things during a harvest moon, such as distress and faulty electric equipment. The Harvest Moon was also called a "Blood Moon" during the Middle Ages in Britain. 

In China, people celebrate the Harvest Moon during a festival and eating delicious mooncakes. In ancient Greece, pigs were sacrificed to goddess Demeter during the Harvest Moon. The phase of this moon happens during spider season. It would be a perfect time to place lemons, conkers and peppermint around the house because it puts off spiders from going near.

Phantom red ladies

 While there are so many famous spirits of white ladies, and also grey ladies, there is also the less known red ladies. These are the most vibrant looking spirits reported from haunted locations. These ghosts are also called Lady in Red. I will mention some of them. 

At Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Alabama are stories of two phantom ladies in red. First witnessed in the 19th Century, a spirit of a young woman in a scarlet dress and holding a matching coloured parasol haunting the women's dorm at night. She was seen glowing red, and walked through the college and exited outside, which was supposed to have been the last time she was ever seen there. The other lady in red was a former student, who was a shy girl named Martha who took her own life. She always wore red and other students had reported seeing her red shining spirit. 

In February 2021 a lady in red spirit was caught on camera at Astley Castle, Warwickshire. Paul Sanders was making a documentary about the area itself when he captured a mysterious lady in red. She was an apparition many have seen before and believe is the ghost of a medieval queen. Also in a cemetery in Toowoomba, Australia, an apparition of lady in red was photographed standing by the graves in mourning.   

Many more ladies in red have been seen across America, Canada, Europe and throughout Asia. A Wikipedia page on some of the Lady in Red sightings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_in_Red_(ghost)
