mancalledtrueI keep my ear to the ground and my eyes to the sky. Here's some more stories I've heard. Not saying they're true or false.
A man in Ecuador keeps a glass eye in a pine-and-oak box. Whenever he opens it, the eye is a different color. If you look into this eye, you'll see a vision of an event from your past, and understand truly why it happened.
Every Imbalc, the ghosts of suicides meet at the Old Stone Bridge in Minneapolis and choose one of their number. The chosen ghost becomes a daemon, eats the previous year's candidate, and protects all of the bridges in Minnesota from failure. The collapse of that one bridge a few years ago happened because a Holy Knight destroyed the daemon without realizing this.
There's a woman in Jersey who has a scarf once worn by the Woman in Evening Wear. When she wears it, no one acknowledges her presence. She's one of the biggest jewelry thieves in town.
God is the result of three ancient men joining their wills and releasing psychic energy into all human minds. Someone wants that energy back.
Empty a pistol into the grave of a newly-buried person, and their ghost will never haunt you. But be sure that no one saw you doing it, or else dispose of the gun. If you make a mistake, their daemon will inhabit one round in the next clip you load into the gun, and that bullet will kill you.
A truth-trader in Monaco has, without any success, spent the last nine years trying to get rid of the truth behind the founding of Starbucks. They say he hasn't slept more than an hour since he acquired it.
Crow's blood, mixed with rose petals, will allow you to hear the whispers of the damned if you daub it on your eardrums at one in the morning.
The only reason the world hasn't ended is because four people live in perpetual pain and suffering throughout the world. One of these four people lives in Iraq. He secretly arranged the war as part of a suicide attempt. It didn't work.
Your car doesn't really need gas. We were all conditioned to believe this, which is why it won't run without it. If two hundred thousand people believed that cars could run on the nitrogen in the atmosphere, nobody would ever need gasoline again.
A caveman runs my paper route. He leaves odd messages in deer's blood on the back of the Variety section.
