Sorry. But reading about all the bird posts...

Did anyone else think about

"The Sparrows are flying again"

I'm freaking myself out.
Yes, I immediately thought of The Dark Half. I understand that in literature birds have been used historically as symbols of evil. I don't know why unless it's due to the connection between them and demons which are fallen angels, and angels have wings.

Hi, Cutie!

You live in Texas so you are familiar with lechuzas. Freaking scary, huh?

Do you also know about The Llorona?

>>hugs<<

Peace.

I'm more familiar with chupacabras. Some people think they're coyotes with mange. I'm not so sure :)

Liorona is an interesting legend... and scary! I don't have much sympathy for her, she should weep for her children. Trivia: Sam and Dean encountered Liorona in the pilot episode of Supernatural.

I for sure believe in the Lady of the Lake :)
from wikipedia:
A well-known Dallas urban legend is the story of the Lady of White Rock Lake. White Rock Lake Park is reported to haunted by the ghost of a twenty year-old looking girl, described as wearing a soaked 1930s dress, who usually appears at night along the roadside of East Lawther Drive. Witnessess claim the phantom asks to be taken to her home on Gaston Avenue in Dallas before disappearing in the car during the ride. Legend claims the woman to be a drowning victim during a boating accident 1930s. Reports of the ghostly encounters were published in Dallas-area newspapers in the 1960s.
