Isn't it more of a Cajun thing instead of pure french? I don't know maybe im making things up, but I thought the loup garou thing was more native to Louisiana than France.

No, it's originally a French Legend that came with the French when they colonized Louisiana. I believe it is also spelled differently here in the states. From what I understand Loup Garou 's are more powerful/dangerous than a normal werewolf, being able to shift at will(no need for the moon) and keeping their wits about them when they shift.

Skinwalkers are shapeshifters, though their base form is said to be hairier than an average person. So while I have no idea if they are related legends, I could see why that could be. Oh and the yee naaldlooshii brand of skinwalker is a Navajo Legend, and scary as hell.

I Love scary stories, and the stories in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and Scary Stories3 More Tales To Chill Your Bones freaked me the hell out as a child. So today's questions are who wrote and illustrated them?

Sorry no multiple choice this time :twisted:

News Credits: 1 · Sun Oct 20, 2013 6:48 pm

The answers to yesterday's question are,
Alvin Schwartz wrote them and they were illustrated by Stephen Gammell.

"Don't you ever laugh as the hearse goes
by,
For you may be the next one to die.
They wrap you up in a big white sheet
From your head down to your feet.
They put you in a big black box
And cover you up with dirt and rocks.
All goes well for about a week,
Then your coffin begins to leak.
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
The worms play pinochle in your snout,
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,
They eat the jelly between your toes.
A big green worm with rolling eyes
Crawls in your stomach and out your
eyes.
Your stomach turns a slimy green,
And pus pours out like whipping cream.
You'll spread it on a slice of bread,
And this is what you eat when you are
dead."
