@Dr_TheHistories In Indonesia, we call it Leak. I am wondering how a certain area with different nationalities and culture have a similar stuff

The Penanggalan is a terrifying creature from Southeast Asian folklore, particularly associated with Malaysia. It is one of the most well-known supernatural beings in the region and is often described as a vampire-like spirit that hides among ordinary people. During the day, the Penanggalan appears as a normal woman and can live unnoticed within a community. At night, however, it undergoes a horrifying transformation. Its head separates from its body and flies through the air, trailing its internal organs beneath it. These dangling organs are often described as glowing or glistening in the darkness, creating a frightening sight for anyone who encounters it. The detached head is able to move silently through villages and across the countryside in search of victims. According to folklore, the Penanggalan feeds on blood and is especially drawn to pregnant women, new mothers, and infants. It is said to sneak close to homes at night, searching for vulnerable victims while they sleep. Because of this, many traditional beliefs focused on protecting households from its approach. While its head is away hunting, the Penanggalan must hide its body in a secure location. Stories often describe it concealing the body inside a house, a hut, or another secluded place until dawn. Before sunrise, the head must return and reattach itself to the body in order to appear human again. Many traditional practices were believed to protect against the creature. Villagers sometimes placed thorny plants, sharp branches, or other barriers around windows and doors. According to legend, these obstacles could injure the hanging organs of the Penanggalan and prevent it from entering a home. © Terrifying Earth #drthehistories

@depressionlesss Is the same type of monkey who throw away the tennis player’s towel?? 😂

The side eye is hilarious 😂

@darkeyedseer @historyinmemes Missed way too many things

@thelorethreads_ @historyinmemes Gets even deeper when you notice district 13 exists because they sold out all the other districts to the 1st for a ceasefire and autonomy.

This moment takes on a whole new meaning when you realize that, in the book, Katniss had only one chance to alter the course of history. With her single arrow, she chose to eliminate the emerging tyrant, leaving the old one to face the judgment of the crowd.

@darkeyedseer @historyinmemes Damn, now I have to reread everything 😂

@darkeyedseer @historyinmemes Well, i think I was too young too understand it back then

Laufey is not famous because we know everything about her. She is famous because of who comes from her. Loki. Atreus. The hidden family line. The mystery behind the mother. Sometimes mythology does not give us a full character. It gives us a name. And lets the name haunt the story.

In God of War, Laufey is also known as Faye. She is Kratos’ late wife and Atreus’ mother. The new game puts her story at the center, turning a name that usually sits in the background of myth into the main character. That is what makes this interesting.

This is the myth about Laufey. The name behind God of War’s next story. Or you might be familiar with the jazz singer @laufey But in Norse mythology, Laufey is not a frost giant king. She is something stranger: Loki’s mother.
