Mythology & Folklore - November 2006

I was just wondering who all believes in this out there. There's a story on cnn.com about a man who volunteers to pick up roadkill in Wisconsin and it was 1 am when he went to pick up a deer and there was this huge massive tall thing grabbing the back of his truck and he sped off. I wonder if he was high or drinking...or a bear?

I have heard so many differnt stories. One friend even said she heard Dracula was Judas (Judas was the one that betrays Jesus) from the 12 Disciples. That because he betrayed Jesus he was cursed to walk the earth forever. Then with the movie last year, Stay Alive, the blood countess, which is the witch they were runing away from, was real. She was this rich old lady in the 1600's that somehow thought the blood from her servants made her young so she eventually would employee yound women and bathe in their blood and even began drinking it. Has anyone heard other stories or have your own theories about Dracula?

Here's the link for the story on the blood countess:

3 could be women cradling a baby or something.
Not all have benevolent looks on their faces.

The Ouija Board...Have your heard anything about the dangers of using one? I have heard of a few things, evil, concerning this. ( I do NOT use one, and never would) I just want to know your experiences or thoughts about this, possibly as a warning to others who think it's just a game.

Two years ago I was driving to work with my new little baby, I always go the same way which is up a huge mountain, I have always been a little bit afraid of it because its a narrow road and a long drop off the side. So this day started no different then anyother but half way up the hill, the car became very cold and I had an overwhelming sense of fear come over me, I heard a loud booming voice screaming at me to drive off the cliff and so I thought OMG what am I thinking but I realized that if I am able to think then it isn't me creating the voice it is actually something from outside my head so I started yelling back for it to leave me alone. I then decided too pull over too the side of the road and as I was doing so I felt something place its hands or whatever over mine and crush them into the steering wheel pulling the car toward the cliff and I had to slam on the brakes and yank the steering wheel back, I actually had bruises on my knuckles and the pad of my hands the next day.
