It was a diffuse feeling, difficult to pinpoint, but it gnawed at her like a psychic parasite. Kael, drawing upon his knowledge of ancient texts, discovered unsettling parallels between the whispers and legends of a race known as the Umbrae – shadow beings who thrived on negative emotions and could twist them into insidious weapons. The legends spoke of their eradication millennia ago, but could they have returned?

After everything we had witnessed with the moondeer, I was surprised he still doubted the old legends and stories. “You saw what happened that night,” I reminded him gently. “Not only the moondeer, but the blight at the warehouse. How can you not believe, at least a little?” A muscle ticked in his chiseled jaw as his gaze grew distant, no doubt revisiting the vivid memories that were seared into both of our minds—the ethereal, glowing form of the sacred moondeer shimmering in the moonlight, dipping its head to lick Chris’s wounds. The oozing black fungus surrounding the warehouse; the human bones that were trapped beneath it.

“Talk to me! What the hell is that thing?” “I can’t be sure.” She says slowly, moving to the edge of the roof so she can get a better look. “But if I had to guess, I would say that it is a nue.” “A nue?” I gasp, my eyes growing wide. “You mean those Japanese creatures that resemble chimeras?” “That’s right.” She confirms. “But why would one be around here?” Why would it be here? If I had to guess, I would say that it was in cahoots with those cloaked bastards that were threatening Serenity. And I couldn’t help but wonder whether or not they had even more mythical beings on their side if they had this thing.

If an outsider comes here suddenly, he or she will shit their pants with fright and terror, bodies of children, women, men, and even animals are lying dead in the ground or hanged upside down in some places… some of them are drown in their blood and internal organs, while others having some bites in their heads, legs and arms, or most of them was eaten hole, what left of them is just some bloody boots …. However, the weird part is that their bodies start to rise from the ground surrounded by some dark green energy slithering toward them and molding their bodies and creating some missing parts of their body, transforming them into some sort of beast like wolves, after some time, all villagers

“Was it a tall man? “she asked in a whisper. Camila looked at her expectantly, how did she know, had she seen him too? “Did you see him? “she asked. Carmen denied, but, looking all around, leaned a little closer to her. “Don't you know the legend? Camila denied. “What legend? “she asked nervously. “This town has a legend from many years ago, they say that a tall, thin man stalks weak and vulnerable families, disturbing them. “Camila frowned. She didn't believe in legends. “His name is Slenderman. They say Slenderman takes children deep into the forest, keeps them there for a while, then kills them mercilessly and takes their faces.

They could also see from where those glimmers of light had emerged. Crash! There was a sudden, muffled crash. Something seemed to have shattered. The next moment, strange deafening screams could be heard from within the silvery sunlight, like crashing waves breaking. Then, countless shining greenish figures, burst out impatiently of the light like mountain torrents! "Spirits of the Dead! They're the 10,000-year-old Spirits of the Dead!" "Be careful! These filthy things can turn into mists!" Someone shouted a warning after identifying these greenish figures.

"Truly, it has an off-putting feeling. You find yourself growing uneasy the higher you climb." Ben ran both hands through his hair, almost as if he was agitated.

No one wants to talk about them to outsiders, and all of them seem to involve some creature that preys on the lives and blood of the living."

The moon shines fully, illuminating the darkness outside and providing a glint of light to Svetlana’s eyes as she stared up at it while she sat on a bench with Ahrio next to her. “There’s a legend in Southeast Asian countries that whenever it’s the full moon, ghosts, monsters and other scary supernatural beings appear and roam the world of the living. Do you know that?” Svetlana shared one of those horror stories she had heard from her childhood. Smiling, she glanced at Ahrio and caught him just staring at her face like he’s engrossed about everything about her. “Really? Do those supernatural beings include goddesses? Coz I’m definitely seeing one right now.”

"No, if I wanted to do that, I'd be in Scotland. In the fog... On a boat... on a lake..." Funny jokes. He’s got funny jokes. I roll my eyes at him. "So what myths and legends are you trying to prove, then?" I cross my ankles, staring at my hands as I lean a shoulder against the tree trunk closest to his dig space. "I want to examine the connection between San Francisco Chinese immigrants and lycanthropy. There was a burst of diagnosed Clinical Lycanthropy in the Chinatown population around the time stories about the Jiangshi, a more powerful undead creature than vampires, might have stirred lycanthropic behaviors among ethnic Chinese immigrants. I also want to learn if something distantly re

The screen was blank and only the light from the exit door that cast a sliver of light can be seen. Gabi pushed her body up and stretches her limbs. It’s an eerie feeling when you are alone in a dark old place. Her hair stood at its end. Something is not right. She felt it in her every fiber. She heard stories about this cinema. Some people said that this is a haunted place. The building itself has buried bodies underneath because during the war some Japanese soldiers hide here. But the American soldier has found out and bombed the place to smithereens. No one survives the bombing. Those souls that were trapped here continue to haunt the place.
