It is a hideous witch of Russian folklore that lived deep in the middle of the forest. It was reported to have iron teeth, and live in a house that spun while it moved around. She had a fierce appetite, but remained almost like a skeleton. My grandmother used to try to scare us with the  stories of Baba Yaga.

Well, there is a word in Arabic that is Abbada but I can't find the definition.  I found Abada in a few dictionaries and it means, 1. rhinosceros 2. an innocent forest spirit in Tatar mythology. It looks like an old woman.  \nIs he mispronouncing something? eg. Above? A bird?

I saw some people I knew get possessed by a bad, or mischievous, spirit through the Ouija Board. It was like mass hysteria and it scared me out of ever messing with Ouija Boards. It provides an opening for any old spirit to get to you. I don't think they should sell them as children's games.

Is called The Chupacabras which means the goats sucker.  It is a legendary modern character still very alive. Many goats cows and chicken ha been found bloodless in Puerto Rico and other countries and many people; adults and young, have claimed seeing a strange creature with extraterrestrial and anthropomorphic features, more like prehistoric monsters, being around the places where animals had been found dead. Serious researchers and many police departments has checked out the stories . Terrified people and whole towns had been objects of the Chupacabra terror. It is worse than Bin Laden and Sadam toghether. I believe it is a flying almost extinct pre historic specie that hides in caves and dark places underground and comes out peridically as climatological changes take place. It is not exclusive of Puerto Rico. some people claim it is an allien. Others a demon and others a creation of imaginative people, but how can all those animals including very beloved pet dogs are found dead with very specific orifices and no blood in the open fields and sometimes as a massacre to the awe of owners and mentaly stable people and scintific profesionals in charge of agricultural programs and universities.

Russian mythology is linked to the Germanic tribes, the Scandanavian gods and Orthodox Christianity.  Despite these links Russian legends are typically Slavic and are very unique in character and flavor.  \n\nMy favourite is the legend of the witch Babayaga who flies in a giant brass cauldron (or a giant pestle and motar) and she catches children.  She lives in a hut bourn aloft by giant chicken legs, allowing it to walk about.  \nShe is a paradoxical charcter both exceedingly good and evil, innocent and corrupt.  She kills some people but helps others and she even gives gifts to children (the ones she does not eat!).

Overview:\nThe Bahá'í Faith is the youngest of the world's main religions. It was founded in Iran during the mid 19th century by  Siyyid 'Ali-Muhammad (1819-1850 CE). He assumed the title Bab ("the Gate") and prophesized the future arrival of "One greater than Himself." One of the Bab's followers, Mirza Husayn-'Ali-i-Nuri (1817-1892), announced that he was the Manifestation predicted by the Bab. He assumed the title Baha'u'llah ("glory of God"). His teachings on world peace, democracy, civil rights, equal rights for women, the acceptance of scientific discoveries, etc. were decades ahead of his time. \n\nBahá'ís believe in a single God who has repeatedly sent prophets into the world through whom he has revealed the "Word of God." Prophets include Adam, Krishna, Buddha, Yeshua of Nazareth (Jesus), Mohammed, The Bab and Baha'u'llah. \n\nThe Bahá'í faith is still looked upon by many Muslims as a breakaway sect of Islam. Bahá'ís are heavily persecuted in some countries, particularly Iran.\n\nmore info on\nhttp://www.religioustolerance.org/bahai.htm

LOL sorry I wasn't aware of that relic. Has it been scientifically studied? Or is it off limits to everyone like the ark in ethiopia?\nHell, we could do that, then implant it in a virgin and bingo, homemade holyman. I guess scientists work in mysterious ways too. LOL

Ouija (pronounced wee-juh or wee-jee) refers to the belief that one can receive messages during a séance by the use of a Ouija board (also called a talking board or spirit board) and planchette. The fingers of the participants are placed on the planchette which then moves about a board covered with numbers, letters and symbols so as to spell out messages.
