I was trying to convince my husband to watch Candyman but Tony Todd and Candyman in particular are apparently a source of Primal Childhood Scaries so I guess I'ma wait til he goes to sleep. I wonder if it holds up I haven't seen it in probably like 15 years or so
I saw candyman when I was like 7 with a neighborhood friend who was a couple years older

I watched it as an adult and thought it was silly.

In Japanese folklore, not only the dead are able to manifest their reikon for a haunting. Living creatures possessed by extraordinary jealousy or rage can release their spirit as an ikiryō (生き霊), a living ghost that can enact its will while still alive.
Japan's ghost situation is crazy. Already thought Onryō are OP, but this is too much.

sometimes japanese ghosts are just a rake you left out in the rain or something though
Yokai run the gamut from "goofy humanoid that wants to surprise or embarass you" to "This is an unknowable shape that mutilates children for next-to-no reason". Best to just trap 'em all and let Egon sort 'em out.
I always lean towards "mysterious wilderness pervert" when it comes to livestock mutilation which in my opinion is no less alarming than a chupacabra I mean you ask me if I want to encounter a mysterious wilderness pervert or a chupacabra alone at night Im goin with the latter every time
Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

I feel like the line between the two is so thin it might as well not exist.
I was really surprised by Candyman when I got around to seeing it, I had always thought it was a low-rent slasher like the Leprechaun films or something and it turned out to be pretty damned effective meaningful horror.

The thing that gets me about them is when they happen in clusters. Like one farmer will lose a bunch of cows in a short amount of time, or a bunch of farmers will all lose cows around the same time. And no signs of any large predators.
I feel like the most likely explanation is that a human or humans do the actual killing, probably randomly for no reason just to be dicks, and then scavengers do the 'mutilation'.

I wonder how accurately the facts are being reported. One of the things that always amazes me on many episodes of Skeptoid is the guy'll be like "OK, let's see if what was actually being reported at the time the weird event allegedly happened matches what is being reported by people writing decades later", and it's always, always this kind of scenario:
Actual eye-witness: It was dark and I think I saw a bear, pretty common this time of year.
Contemporary reporter: A bear was seen on the outskirts of the town.
Fringe writer trying to sell a book a decade later: The town was known for frequent bear sightings that could not be explained by science.
A dozen different writers all referencing the previous writer: Yeah yeah, all that, but they were ghost bears.
Enthusiast websites, History-channel show narrators, etc., 50 years later: LOOK, MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT AND VERIFIED REPORTS OF DEMON ALIEN GHOSTS WANDERING THE STREETS AND SNAPPING MEN'S SPINES IN HALF EVERY SINGLE DAY.
My favorite theory about cattle mutilations (seen on like Discover Channel/TLC/History Channel/something like that maybe 15 years ago) is: All the cattle mutilations are being done in areas where the U.S. used to do (and maybe is still doing?!?!?!?!!) nuclear bomb testing, so it's actually the government (using silent-flying black helicopters and precision laser scalpels) snatching cattle that graze in the areas, cutting out the soft tissues of the body because that's where radioactive particles settle most easily, and testing them to see if there's still radioactive fallout in the area.

I was curious to see what The Literature is on the chupacabra, so followed a link off of Wikipedia to a '98 About.com article that discusses it. This section struck me:
the creature allegedly broke into the bedroom of the house through a window, tore apart a child's stuffed Teddy bear, and left a puddle of slime and a single piece of rancid meat on the windowsill before disappearing.
So... it's a cat. It's behaving like a cat.

Spooky thread! My niece was in a commercial and it's my first time ever seeing her professionally filmed as an actress!
And it fits the thread because it's a riff on the Exorcist. She's the one being possessed.

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
those are the worst ones!
haunted rakes cause a full 45% of the deaths in japan
There's a yokai that kills you if you cut your toenails at night
Like most myths they're just a way to warn people of obvious dangers in a pre industrial age.
Whereas in Japan if you masturbate too much a walking lamp post will boil your skin and then decapitate your grandma

No no no, that's the Chadpacabra. Chupacabro is the one that is always by the free weights.

it's an animal that LOVES goat blood
but HATES goat meat
the pickiest fucking eater in the world
You don't get to be a svelte, spiny skeletoid by eating meat all the time.
Yes I do
That sounds like a totally wholesome Saturday morning cartoon.
Sorta like the Loch Ness monster was based on a scene from King Kong
Also cattle mutilations are the work of scavengers, mammals and birds
And it fits the thread because it's a riff on the Exorcist. She's the one being possessed.
