All STORIES of talking, walking, hungry wolf-men. But has any one really thought if this is actually a real case? I am here to tell you about 10 interesting and weirdly scary cases of real lycanthropy… 10. Gilles Garnier    In the sixteenth century town of Dole, a proclamation was publicly read in the town square. Its contents gave permission for the people to track down and kill a werewolf that had been terrorizing the village.    While walking through the forest, a group of peasants heard the screams of a small child accompanied by the howling of a wolf. When they arrived they saw a wounded child fighting off a monstrous creature whom they later identified as Gilles Garnier.

CAMBODIAN NEW YEAR!!

     Cambodian New Year (Khmer) or Chaul Chnam Thmey ,  in the Khmer language, literally  "Enter Year New",  is the name of the Cambodian holiday that celebrated the New Year. The holiday lasts for three days beginning on New Year's day, which usually falls on April 13th or 14th, which is the end of the harvesting season, when farmers enjoy the fruits of their labor before the rainy season begins. Khmer's living abroad may choose to celebrate during a weekend rather than just specifically April 13th through the 15th. The Khmer New Year coincides with the traditional solar new year in several parts of India, Myanmar and Thailand.     Cambodians also use Buddhist Era to count the year based on the Buddhist calendar. For 2011, it is 2555 BE (Buddhist Era). The Three Day of The New Year Maha Songkran      Maha Songkran , derived from Sanskrit  Maha Sankranti , is the name of the first day of the new year celebration. It is the ending of the year and th

OMIZUTORI, THE SACRED WATER DRAWING FESTIVAL!!

     Omizutori ,  or the annual, sacred  Water Drawing Festival , is a Japanese Buddhist festival that takes place in the  NIgatsu-do  of  Todai-ji,  Nara, Japan. The festival is the final rite in observance of the two week long Shuni-e ceremony. This ceremony is to cleanse the people of their sins as well as to usher in spring of the New Year. Once the Omizutori is completed, the cherry blossoms have started blooming and spring has arrived.     The rite occurs on the last night of the Shuni-e ceremony, when monks bearing torches come to the  Wakasa Well , underneath the Nigatsu-do Hall, which according to legend only springs forth water once a year. The ceremony has occurred in the Nigatsu-do of the imperial temple at Nara, of the Todai-ji, since it was first founded. These annual festivals have been dated back to the year of 752. The earliest known records of the use of an incense seal during the religious rites in Japan were actually used during one Omizutori.
