Good Folklore Sites

[CreamyLady]

If anyone else happens to share my interest in folktales and folklore (including superstition!), here are two really good sites:

http://www.folkmagic.co.uk


Note: the latter takes a pretty strong stomach.

Maybe it doesn't have too much to do with your original post Creamylady, but the following site is pretty good. In fact I mad referrence to it in a thread this week, when someone started the old lobster and the lady BS.

htt[://www.snopes.come

You wanna talk about needing a strong stomach, if you goto http://www.strangeland.com you will deffinately need one.

Thank you, but I don't usually go looking for the grossout. I'm interested in folklore, folk magic and superstition, and sometimes people's ideas on protection required interesting ingredients.

As for the mud shrimp thing, I would never, ever go looking for that kind of image.
