What Myths And Legends Do You Think Are Real?

[Koduka]

Every person thinks that there is at least one myth or legend that they think is real. It makes sense. I mean, where do myths and legends actually come from? Truth, actuality, and something that happened in past events.
Which ones do you believe to be true? In detail if you please, that is if you know the details. wink

heart Vampires = Canables

heart Ware Wolves = Vary hairy aggressive people

heart Fairy's = Demons that would enchant and steel children

heart Unicorns = Hybrid of horse crossed with goat. Horses with horns. Like a mule

heart Witches = People who knew how to use the law of attraction, or people with cats. Cats were the only thing that would kill diseased rodents and keep away disease and those owners would survive plagues.

I to agree. There are many many people I have known who have been witches however they prefered to be called wiccan. Some of the nicest people I've ever known. They follow the white magic realm rather then black.

That's not true.

And magic has no color.

Creating myths is one way for people to explain things and phenomena. They have a basis in reality but that doesn't mean they're all real. While most legends are exaggerations of real stories or events, like Arthur.

No, Vampires = Consumption.
Wendigo = Cannibals.

heart Ware Wolves = Vary hairy aggressive people

Well, according to legend, Werewolves = Sorcerers or Cursed Folk. According to psychologists, Werewolves = Clinical Lycanthropy (basically crazy people thinking they're wolves).

heart Fairy's = Demons that would enchant and steel children

Well, that's just mean. Not all fairies are like that. Some are actually quite benevolent.

You were closest with "goat." I think I remember hearing that it was actually caused by people who would grow goats to have their horns grow to the front in a single horn. Early artwork of unicorns basically depicted goats with single horns in the front.

Um... it's actually a bit more complicated than that...

I can't help but wonder if it is the rare horse that ends up growing a cutaneous horn. I mean, it would be rare, but it happens. Even to people!

But it's not a horse. Even many modern depictions retain the goat beard.

Often times the people couldn't believe the monstrous acts that humans could do, so they'd label them as monsters. =)

[StrayKit]

Lochness Monster, Bigfoot, Cupacabra, Fae, unicorns(LOOK AT NARWALS PEOPLE!!)....i think that covers it

[victoria star27]

well really there aren't such things as unicorns, vampires, werewolves, witches, and so on... but i wish there was.
