La Bolefuego


La Bolefuego or "The Firehead" is a folklore entity from Columbia and Venezuela. Also called La Candileja, this is a luminous female spirit that haunts the lush region of Los Llanos every night. Described as a glowing lantern that moves over the grass, trembling and dancing, without anyone being near it. Some have described this apparition as a burning corpse that responds angrily to those who look at her. It's believed that people must close their eyes when they see her, and to never pray either as this will only encourage her to turn violent. La Bolefuego prefers to scare lone travellers.

Legend has it that this entity goes back as far as the 18th century. It's believed this started as a tragic story. A young woman and her children were murdered in their home by a gang of criminals. After being viciously raped, the criminals robbed the house and set it on fire, leaving mother and children within. The woman's husband was away on business, so she was left all alone. The woman prayed but the smoke was too much and it killed her and the poor children. After that, it's said her furious spirit of the woman still haunts the area, appearing a bright fiery ghost, terrifying people and even killing them.

Nature CCTV films witches?


 

A nature enthusiastic woman named Corinea Stanhope, in British Columbia found a mutilated dead deer by her property. She set up a hidden camera to find out what sort of predator was responsible for killing the deer. It wasn't something she was looking forward to finding out because the area has known dangerous creatures, bear, big cats and wolves. Corinea has children and some horses so it was important to know. But what she later discovered after viewing the film, was much more disturbing and mysterious.

The camera picked up two people feeding on the decaying corpse of the dead deer. Shocked by what was on there, the woman and her family saw a couple on the film, at night and both half dressed, feasting on the dead deer. They looked like a young man and woman, who had long dark hair. They appeared to be eating the foul remains of the deer corpse. The discovery was uploaded on the internet, and many users commented their views. Some told Corinea to phone the police. 

It's been speculated the half naked people that were nibbling on dead deer were witches belonging to a cult. Others even said the pair were evil spirits, demons, skinwalkers and wendigo. Besides the strange couple, the hidden camera also picked up a number of other wild animals around the deer including a bob cat. Some say it was a prank, although that doesn't explain why there would be half naked and eating a rotten dead deer. There is a lot of holes to the story, such as media reporting that the video clip shows "two scantily clad women" when the images show just one woman and a man. Some wonder if the whole story was a fabrication or this was just being over the top weird couple having a grim wild romantic dinner!

Strzyga

Strzyga by Fiona Scott

 The Strzyga is a creature from Slavic folklore. The term "strzyga" is a name for the female demon kind, and the male counterparts are called "strzygi". It's believed to be a vampire demoness, with horrible traits and a thirst for human blood.

 In Polish folklore, it's said that a person born with two hearts, two souls and two sets of teeth is a strzyga/strzygi. Also newborn babies with fully developed teeth were also considered by be strzyga. In the Medieval period, many people were buried alive during times of plague, and those who managed to crawl out from beneath the graves were thought to be undead or strzyga, then sent away from their home villages. The twin souls of the dead strzyga. were parted, so one passes into the afterlife and the other remains earthbound, taking form of an owl who attacked people at night and drank their blood and then devouring the rest later.

Scholars believe that the strzyga originates from the mythical Strix creature from Greek and Roman myths and legends. The Strix is a kind of demonic entity in the form of an owl that feeds on human blood and flesh.
