In my tribe. When a cricket, snake or anything unusual enters a house, we are taught not to kill it and just leave it be. In the old days, the house owner would need to butcher a livestock as an offering. Today, we dont give offerings no more but still leave the visitors as we call it, or just gently lead them out.

You can write whatever is on your mind as long as it's not insulting others. Many anxious, overworked etc souls gather here for the soothing horror storie. It sounds contradictionary at fitst, but if you listened to more than 4 stories you know the magic. This community is (imho) very accepting and shares one obsession: LHH narrations. Voices, music, atmosphere, everything. I hope your health get's better soon or at least doesn't get worse. 👋 If you are rather new, I could possibly - give you some titles you'll enjoy. I even have a playlist of my " Best LHH stories" or named similar. I was just dumb enough to not make it open for everyone until recently...🤦 Yeah, I'm stupid.

Made Me think of my grandparents and the stories my father tells of his childhood camping trips with his family up in the Allegheny mountains. And besides legends are supposed to be a little scary, A little mysterious, With good old fashioned magic. It's so rare to hear about old fashioned magic anymore these days.

I am in Virginia. My grandmother's family came from Ireland to West Virginia but weren't the first. My British ancestor came over with John Smiths Armada. Ironically he too was a John Smith. My grandmother and my great grandmother AND my mom all tole me to absolutely never....EVER kill a cricket unless I wanted nothing but bad luck the rest of my life. I was like 10, dude. So years later, yup l, I forgot. I killed one, maybe even a few. Now it didn't play out like this. Each curse is different. It would take too long to explain how badly things have gone over the years since my first kill. It wasn't until later after my mom mentioned it again that it made sense. Now I have this constant ringing in my ears that keeps me up at night and I constantly feel like bugs are crawling all over me at night. I take meds now to sleep, to stay somewhat normal. But this is my life now. Y'all don't have to believe, but this is a true Appalachian lore. I've lived here all my life, and I now have a healthy respect for the rules of the land.
