and Warlocks Yes,
people do practice witchcraft. But keep in mind that the practice of
witchcraft is not much different than the practice of a specific religion
to a witch or warlock. The religious practice is called Wicca.
But someone who practices the Wicca religion is not evil or
negative. These people are not worshipping the "devil" but
rather the natural order of the world. Just as you would find good
people in any common organized religion you can also find some negative or
bad people. The same is true of those who practice being a witch or
warlock. Do not automatically assume these are negative or bad
people.
Yes, witches and warlocks were burned at the stake, alive, during the
Salem witch trials. Some were hung. One person, a man, accused
of being a warlock, was crushed to death with rocks because he refused to
admit to being a warlock. TOP Possession
After talking with the various team members we have come to one
conclusion...we don't know if we believe in possession or not. Is
possession really possession of one's physical body or is it a mental
illness? Is it possible for one's soul to be pushed to the
background while another takes over the body of that the soul is meant to
be living in? We don't know. There is no real way to prove
possession. The Catholic church, and many other churches, seem
to believe possession is possible, especially by demons. But that
would then require one to believe in demons. No one on the Eeeek
team even believes in the devil. They believe there is positive and
negative in the world, broken down to the terms of good and evil but a
place called hell with the devil ruling it...we don't happen to believe
this to be true. We get deep into religious beliefs here but if God
is your Father, being a parent myself, I can't imagine any parent ever
wanting to punish their child for all eternity unless that parent is
mentally ill in the first place. This just doesn't make sense to us
here at Eeeek. So we have to answer that we don't believe in demons,
the devil, hell or anything along those lines. God is love and a
loving God couldn't do any of those things suggested by most
religions. So is possession something that can truly happen?
We don't really know! We don't believe possession by a demon (which
we believe is not real) can happen but can possession by a really bad person
(considered evil) happen? We can't answer that! You have to
make that call for yourself. We can only tell you what we believe. TOP Werewolves Team
Eeeek doesn't believe a human form can convert into a wolf form just
because the moon turns full. We are sure there are some people who
believe this to be true but we don't happen to believe. TOP
Vampires
Vampires,
or the living dead. There are people who actually practice the acts of
vampires. No, we don't mean they go around biting into someone's
neck and sucking their blood but they do drink blood. Whatever would
possess someone to do this is beyond us. Especially with the dangers
of all the diseases in our world. But people do practice this
strange custom. Are they living dead, if they are then they are
ghosts, not vampires. The short answer we have is that vampires, as
living dead, do not exist. TOP
Jersey Devil and The Moth Man
I'm
certain that people truly believe in the Jersey Devil and the Moth Man but
we find it rather hard to believe that either of these creatures truly
exist. If the Jersey Devil were real, according to the story about
how the devil came about, he would have to be several hundred years old
now. The Moth Man, well if he truly exists why hasn't he been seen
for a number of years? Sorry but we here at Eeeek find these stories
rather hard to believe. We do believe that people reporting seeing
these two creatures saw something but what exactly they saw is very hard
to tell. TOP Grim
Reaper
The term 'Grim Reaper' first appeared in print in 1525 when a French artist drew a picture of his image of death - he called the figure in the drawing the grim reaper. Throughout history there have been many versions of the so-called 'grim reaper' printed and simply drawn...each culture has a slightly different name and picture of the 'spirit of death.' Death is not a spirit but rather an event. It is the transition from one dimension (the physical) to another dimension
(the spiritual). TOP Crop
Circles
-
Are crop circles a form
of communication from alien life forms?
We don't know! Evidence is not adequate enough to determine
how or what is forming crop circles.
-
Are crop circles just a
bunch of people playing tricks on us?
Certainly some of the crop circles are man-made. But not all can
be.
-
What is the true meaning
of a crop circle?
There is no real way to answer this
question. There has been many, many studies on crop circles but
little answers as to how they are formed, or who or what is forming
them.
TOP
Big
Foot
Is Big Foot real? Good
question!!! We don't know for certain, but then, neither does anyone
else but those who have seen a Big Foot creature. There does seem to
be enough evidence to indicate there is something like a Big Foot creature
out there ...but there is no proof, like the body of a dead big foot or
the skeleton of one. There are animals being discovered every so
often that many never believed existed. Is it possible that Big Foot
is one of those animals...sure. Study and read about the evidence
regarding Big Foot and make your own decision.

The
Old Hag
Yes, we are aware of the Old Hag belief. The name of the phenomenon comes from the superstitious belief that a witch - or an old hag - sits or "rides" the chest of the victims, rendering them immobile. Although that explanation isn't taken very seriously nowadays, the perplexing and often very frightening nature of the phenomenon leads many people to believe that there are supernatural forces at work - ghosts or demons.
The experience is so frightening because the victims, although paralyzed, seem to have full use of their senses. In fact, it is often accompanied by strange smells, the sound of approaching footsteps, apparitions of weird shadows or glowing eyes, and the oppressive weight on the chest, making breathing difficult if not impossible. All of the body's senses are telling the victims that something real and unusual is happening to them. The spell is broken and the victims recover often on the point of losing consciousness. Fully awake and well, they sit up, completely baffled by what just happened to them since now the room is entirely normal.
Confronted with such a bizarre and irrational experience, it's no wonder that many victims fear that they have been attacked in their beds by some malevolent spirit, demon or, perhaps, an alien visitor.
The phenomenon occurs to both men and women of various ages and seems to happen to about 15 percent of the population at least once in a lifetime. It can occur while the victim is sleeping during the day or night, and it is a worldwide phenomenon that has been documented since ancient times.
The medical establishment is quite aware of this phenomenon, but has a less sensational name than "old hag syndrome" for it. They call it "sleep paralysis" or SP (sometimes ISP for "isolated sleep paralysis").
So what causes it? Dr. Max Hirshkowitz, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Houston, says that sleep paralysis occurs when the brain is in the transition state between deep, dreaming sleep (known as REM sleep for its rapid eye movement) and waking up. During REM dreaming sleep, the brain has turned off most of the body's muscle function so we cannot act out our dreams - we are temporarily paralyzed.
"Sometimes your brain doesn't fully switch off those dreams - or the paralysis - when you wake up," Hirshkowitz told ABC News. "That would explain the 'frozen' feeling and hallucinations associated with sleep paralysis." According to his research, the effect only really lasts from a few seconds to as long as a minute, but in this half-dream half-awake state, to the victim it can seem much longer.
