I have an amazing Media Guy (Ron R.) who unfailingly posts on social media for me. He finds some of the best monsters to talk about. Here are three.
Cerberus was the famous three-headed dog, pet of Hades, the god of the Underworld. He was standing guard at the Gates of the Underworld, making sure that no dead soul would escape and no living man would enter the realm of the dead.
In German folklore, a nachzehrer is a sort of vampire. The word nachzehrer translates to "after living off" likely alluding to their living after death or living off humans after death in addition to the choice of "nach" for "after" which is similar to "nacht".
A faun, also known as a goat-man, is a half-human half-goat creature that symbolizes peace and fertility. They are known to offer guidance to travelers in need.
In a future post, I'll share three of the haunted locations from around the world Ron found. He even surprised me with some of his finds.
Until Next Time,
