No rush! I'll judge'm all in a few days....have fun!

It was a dark and stormy night, that all hallows eve.
The wind so loud you couldn't hear Britney Spears shouting outside. The clouds played havoc with the full moon, covering and uncovering it at their whim.
We had all gathered round the hearth to hear Sister Mary Holywater read from a book of Poes...The Tell-Tale Heart. Suddenly Ice Munchies jumps up, topling over her meatball sub from her lap," I've got an idea Sister! Lets go to the graveyard and tell ghost stories. I think Leepal left a cooler of beer behind one of the Buks graves. You know kind of like an offering for the spirits. And we can take some of Chilimans taquitos for snacks!" " Well Icee if everyone else wants to go, it's alright with me", said Sister. " I do Sister! "said Shizz and Shaz in unison, they were always doing that it was weird. "I do too," said Prophet. "Starr you need to put on a coat or something first." said Sister. "Okay Sister", said Star," can I call Rowan, Niece 32, Chiliman, and Vinster? They tell great stories."
" Of course you can," said Sister, "Now where did Leepal and Deepzenpil get to, I'm sure they will want to come." "Oh I think they were outback playing with the chainsaws, you know how they like to play with wood", said Prophet, "I will get them."
So off they went this funny group of avatars, looking very much like trick or treaters. After a few minutes they came to a rickety, rusted iron gate with the words,

Unhallowed ground for the vio late ers of Yarholia!

stamped on the metal. "Ahhh, this is it, come on gang," said Sister. Leepal of course scampered off to find the beer she left on one of the Buk graves, but the rest sat down by a large glowing angel sculpture. Everywhere you looked there were tombstones of Large Marges, Buks, Papa Damns, Sand and Sea, Mek the Machine, Beans all good friends slain by the Yamster. "Sister why are there no trolls buried here?" questioned Ice Munchies. "Because Dear Icee, they are buried over at resurrection cemetary," said Sister.
"Which brings us to our first story, little ones, it is about the Fiendish murderer O.J. Simpson and where they burried his haunted stuff, the knife,shoes and those tiny,tiny gloves.
O.J.Simpson's stuff is burried...here!
Now all of you see if you can find it and then I will tell you the story of how he got away with murder!" said Sister. Just then Leepal pops out from behind a tombstone with the cooler and a black back tied with a drawstring, "Hey look what I found, it has a knife in it! "Thats it!" exclaimed Sister taking the bag from Leepal, who was buisy handing out beer to the group. "Now," Sister began, "everyone gather round and I will tell you the story of the
Prince of Darkness"...
Suddenly there was the odd sound, of bells and whistles and gears all whirring together in that mechanical way. The funny little group, all turned just in time to see Alec the Dalek blasting his way into the cemetary with his lazer beam. "Alec, you could have used the gate", said Sister in exasperation. "Oh, my bad", mumbled Dalek. " Ahoy!" he said louder, "I'm back from Florida and I have a Piranah in my pocket. I named him Spooky. Anyone want to pet him?" "No thanks, Alec the Dalek, your pet alligator is still causing havoc back at the house!" said Deepzenpill holding up her bandaged foot for him to see. "Oh, my bad", mumbles Dalek again.
All of the sudden the clouds roll back from the moon and the light shines out over the cemetary.
"Look!" cried Prophet. They all look out at the tombstones of their dear departed friends and what do they see...
All the old decaying Buks coming out of their graves. Unbelieving the group stared in awe as somewhere music began and the Buks grouped together, hands outstretched and began to dance to...Thriller!

Yes, it’s that time of year when pumpkins appear and things go bump in the night. Russia like most countries has its share of folklore and scary stories. With a culture and a nation that is well over a thousand years old, one would expect such tales.

Domovoi
In Russia household ghosts are so common that they have developed distinct classifications for them. Domovoi are domestic ghosts that tend to be nuisances or poltergeists but help out with chores if treated with respect. Domovikha are more quiet household spirits whose presence you can sense in certain rooms. The interesting thing about Russian ghost stories is that many of the tales involve Russian Women.

Rusalka
Legend has it that a Rusalka is the spirit of a young Russian woman who haunts the area of the river or stream where she drowned. It may also be the spirit of an unbaptized child, an unwed mother, or a female virgin. Rusalka come in two varieties depending on which part of the country you are located. In southern Russia, Rusalka are beautiful, well-endowed, lovely long hair and have striking figures. Even dead Russian women are still hot! Rusalka found in the north are hideous, ugly and appear naked. Both will attempt to seduce men to take as their lovers, before killing them. So if you encounter a Rusalka try to get away. If you can’t get away, hopefully you are in southern Russia bumping into a hot Russian ghost.

Russia’s two most famous cities are hotspots just not for the living but for the dead as well.

Spirit on Lieutenant Schmidt's Bridge
The city of Peter the Great, St. Petersburg, has its share of residents from beyond the grave. A specter of a little old lady is said to haunt the Troitskaya Square near Peter the Great’s home.  The Neva River seems to be a good place to see a ghost. The spirit of Shishiga, a thin young lady, has been spotted walking on Lieutenant Schmidt’s Bridge and complaining about her misfortunes. Across the river, near the Petropavlovskaya Fortress, it is said a young woman appears out of thin air weeping bitterly. Legend has it that is Princess Tarakanova, who tried to claim the throne from Catherine the Great and was imprisoned at the fortress for her crime. One of the most frightening ghosts that haunt the old capital is Sofia Perovskaya. Perovskaya was the member of a very radical wing within the Socialist-Revolutionary party in the early 20th century. She carried out assassination attempts on the Imperial family and government officials. She was executed by hanging for her crimes against the state.  It is said that when the weather turns bad in the March, Sofia will appear on the bridge over the Ekaterininsky Channel. Her face blue from suffocation, a purple trace can be seen on her neck from rope burns and she is holding a white handkerchief in her hand signaling her comrades to begin their reign of terror.

Kremlin Spirits
In Moscow most of the paranormal activity can be found at the Kremlin. Some visitors and workers have had encounters with a pale uncombed lady holding a gun in her hand haunting the Komendantskaya Tower. This wandering spirit is Fanny Kaplan who attempted to kill Lenin and who was executed at the Kremlin.  Visitors to the Kremlin also report a red spot appearing on the walls of Konstantino-Eleninskaya tower where a17th century torture chamber was located. A terrifying shadow of Ivan the Terrible can be seen walking on the bell tower named after Ivan the Great. During times of political unrest Czar Dmitry Pretender is said to appear on the Kremlin’s wall. Last time he appeared was August 1991. In the corridors of the Kremlin Palace of Congresses one can encounter semi-transparent figures dressed in shrouds.  The Palace of Congresses was built over a cemetery. Some say the souls of the dead are angry about the sacrilege.

With a rich and vibrant history Russia is full of thousands of folktales, legends and ghost stories.  One thing to learn from all of these tales is whatever you do; never; ever make a Russian woman mad.
