Every culture/region has stories and myths about the things existing there. What are the ones you find the most spooky and/or interesting?

Ding ding ding.

I was raised in it. I take a little offense at calling it stupid but only a little. It's like, you know how you can call your sibling lame/stupid but if someone else does it then you get annoyed?

Yeah, I'm not Wiccan but I get bothered when people bag on it because we faced serious (bodily injury, houses set on fire, preached about on the streets/in school lunchroom etc.) legit persecution for it in our hometown and that shit is hard to shake. No, not in the south or Midwest.

But yeah she was spewing up some nonsense most likely. Although she claims she got the lore from the local native tribe and to be fair, she (and we) were tight with a lot of tribal members. Her good friend, who may have been the source of the "legend", is currently an elder of the tribe.

Look, I'm not saying it's true I'm just answering the prompt 🤣.

Which tribe?
It's gross and racist to make stuff up about native americans to add to your woowoo wicca stories.

Wicca was started as a sex cult by Gerald Gardener a 100 years ago, and it was based almost entierly off a book of complete pulled-from-her-arse bullshit about witch cults in western europe by Margaret Murray.

Do you know what happens when you put lemons in salt? The juices get sucked out and you get preserved lemons. Lemons contain 20% more water than humans but the result would be the same.

If you know wicca is stupid bullshit, stop sharing bad creepypasta about it.
