La Lechuza is a white owl who is in fact a witch, appearing as a massive raptor who preys on souls at night from the Rio Grande Valley on down. Any white owl could be her: so beware. #MythologyMonday

Can't get it up? Blame a witch! Around the world, witches have been blamed from everything to balms that prevent penises from rising to literally stealing the dicks right off men and putting them in trees. #FolkloreSunday

Most witches' familiars are remnants of the holy animals of pagan deities, now applied to witches who in some cases continued pre-Christian folk magic and religion. Cats, for example, are holy to the Nordic "witch goddess" Freyja, and Egyptian Bast. #FolkloreSunday

In India witches are typically told as having their feet on backwards. Yet this cannot be in the case in modern witch trials, which still occur with unfortunate regularity: in 2008, 750 women were lynched in Assam and West Bengal alone #FolkloreSunday

A number of similar-looking mushrooms and fungi are known by the name Witch's Butter, famous for their edibility and medicinal purposes that keep one alert and alive while a formal diagnosis can be made. Its appearance means a family has been targeted by a witch. #FolkloreSunday

They have many names: wishing trees, fairy trees, clootie trees. Across the Celtic nations from Scotland down south to Brittany and Cornwall, by May hawthorn and oak trees near holy wells and springs are covered in ribbons, wishing for fertility and health. #FolkloreSunday

Why did she throw herself onto the train tracks that day? Was it an accident or suicide? Whatever the case, her body was severed and her upper half haunts train stations of Japan looking for her lower half. Beware the Teke-Teke! #PhantomsFriday

Built on a hot spring, Hot Lake Hotel was once known as the Mayo Clinic of the West as it became the West Coast's premiere health resort. A fire in 1934 destroyed the west wing and left it abandoned: the unhealthy dead and haunted administration are said to remain #PhantomsFriday

In the fantasy Western film The Valley of Gwangi (1969), a group of cowboys work for a struggling Wild West rodeo. They capture a live dinosaur, an allosaurus, to put on display for profit. Unsurprisingly, the dinosaur doesn't take well to captivity. #WyrdWednesday

The wampus cat is an American cryptid, a panther that has no set appearance but in recent times the six-armed form has become quite popular. Some give it an indigenous origin, others with colonists moving across Appalachia. #LegendaryWednesday

Modern historians have suggested that dragons were real to premodern populations due to the presence of fossilized dinosaur bones. Given how close modern dragons look to these bones it is entirely possible, though dragon truthers would very much disagree. #WyrdWednesday

In China, it is the tiger, not the lion, that is king: since the development of Chinese writing, the character for ruler, 王, has been noted on the head of tigers via their stripes. As such, they are regal, masculine creatures in Chinese culture. #LegendaryWednesday

In the depths of the Congo River Basin, a monster dwells: the Mokèlé-mbèmbé is one of Africa's most well-known cryptids, essentially a dinosaur-like creature that lives in the waterways, terrorizing humans and animals alike. #WyrdWednesday

There was a rumour that the Government used to monitor all those stone and wooden sleepers for signs of omenic twitching. If the Department Recording And Measuring Anomalous Statues (DRAMAS), existed once, there’s no official record of it now. – #MattAdams

In addition to their seminal work on fairy tales, the Brothers Grimm were linguists, noting the similarities of language. This led to the suggestion that cultures from India to Ireland share an ancestor: the theory of Indo-European language and culture. #FairyTaleTuesday
