Flower witch chapter 5: there’s a ghost on the frangipan tree
A fun fact about this beautiful tree is that is has yin energy which is why it often attracts ghosts and people are advised to not plant this tree in front of their house.
However in office places, for example the Vietnam fine art museum that my mother works in, there are trees like this and indeed ghosts. People give offerings to these ghosts on some occasions so that the ghosts wouldn’t disturb them and their business. True story.
There are also similar stories about banyan trees and you often see them in pagodas or temples because the gods residing in the temples can tame the ghosts residing in the banyan tree. Some say big banyan trees are also where powerful spirits live and that people should not do harm to them or they would receive be consequences.

#TBT Actual conversation before this photo was taken on the set of CRIMSON PEAK with director @realgdt in 2014 ….

Guillermo: “One day, I’ll hug you without rubber between us.”
Dougie: “Oh, so the butcher knife doesn’t bother you?”
Guillermo: “Why would it?”

(Gah! I adore that man!).

#inktober day 7, yas I’m behind, is #drawloween prompt ‘haunted object’, & additional random prompt from ‘The Woman’s Dictionary of Symbols & Sacred Objects’, which was ‘Fox.’ I was desperate to do something interesting, something I could use for a short ghost story down the line, especially with Fox being a psychopomp & trickster in folklore I thought it was worth more than a haunted statue or mirror or jewel, so I made haunted nail polish. You’re welcome.

Lafcadio Hearn, Japanese Ghost Stories
In this collection of classic ghost stories from Japan, beautiful princesses turn out to be frogs, paintings come alive, deadly spectral brides haunt the living, and a samurai delivers the baby of a Shinto goddess with mystical help. Here are all the phantoms and ghouls of Japanese folklore: “rokuro-kubi,” whose heads separate from their bodies at night; “jikininki,” or flesh-eating goblins; and terrifying faceless “mujina” who haunt lonely neighborhoods. Lafcadio Hearn, a master storyteller, drew on traditional Japanese folklore, infused with memories of his own haunted childhood in Ireland, to create the chilling tales in Japanese Ghost Stories. They are today regarded in Japan as classics in their own right.
I read these last October and they were great.

» do you prefer books set in the past or future?
hello my friends,
I love both! I love them for different reasons. A lot of my faves are set in the past, so I have a soft spot for them.
♡ I’m so IN LOVE with these @fairyloot editions of The Diviners. I’m freaking so happy to finally have a matching set.

Hell House: The Red Room Part 1
Hell House had three bedrooms; the master bedroom that faced the street, the back bedroom, and the little bedroom, both of which faced the woods. The front room was where my grandparents slept, the back bedroom was my mother’s, and the little bedroom, or the red room as it would come to be called, was my aunt’s. She was around 2 years old when this started.
As my Papa tells it, my little aunt started waking up in the middle of the night very regularly. She would complain that ‘the red lights’ woke her up. As I have stated before, my grandfather was a fire captain and an ex marine, so after a week or so of this he decided to sleep in the room to solve the mystery of what was waking his daughter up. She was too young to articulate what she was seeing to him other than a ‘bright red light would wake her up.’
He laid down on the floor and waited while she when to sleep. At about 1:20a (which was always the most active time in Hell House) he was woken from brief slumber by a small, bright, red orb that he said flitted in from the window that faced the woods and started darting in circles around the room.
They never denied my aunt when she wanted to sleep in their room for fear of the light in the red room. I would become all too familiar with the red room myself… But that’s for another time.

I was raised in a Haunted House
(Picture grabbed from Google street view.)
I affectionately like to call my childhood home ‘Hell House.’ My family was the first people to own the house right after it was built in 1968. My mother, her sister, my grandmother, and grandfather moved into the three bedroom, one bathroom house not expecting to have inherited a nightmare. There are many stories about this house that predate my birth, told to me by the relatives they happened to, as well as stories from when I lived there.
There were several entities inside Hell House that presented themselves to many people. I will make a post for each one, but the ones that come to mind right now are the children in the bathroom, the man in the bowler hat, the red light, and the stair creeper. Worse than what lived in the house was the entity that resided in the many miles of woods that loomed behind our home. We didn’t have a fun little nickname for the thing in the woods. All the families on our dead end street knew about the thing in the woods, and discussed its activities openly and often. It was unanimously understood that the thing in the woods was a threat.
I feel I should mention that the people in my life did not all start out as believers, but everyone who spent any time in the houses on that dead end came out with a new perspective and could no longer be skeptical of our claims. There were even people (like my uncle who married into the family and wasn’t used to the horror like we were) who refused to spend even one night in Hell House due to the constant activity that made the paranormal impossible to ignore.
Hell House was lost to our family in 2009, but the 41 years we owned it, or rather it owned us, still offered me a wealth of knowledge, experience, stories, and a lifelong obsession with honing my gifts to better understand the realm of the unknown. What once filled me with fear now excites me to my core. I will be forever grateful.
