what culture has the coolest mythology/folklore but you cant say japan

I honestly think Greek mythology is really interesting, but I don't necessarily have the time nor motivation to really look into it PX

I think urban ledgans are interesting, America has some of the most inteligenly challenged individuals out of any developed nation. so looking at stuff like those Facebook moms that thought bleach would cure autism, or laughing jack, or like people losing their shit over figuring there was dihygrogenminoxide in there food. america is my favirte out of the sheer incompetence of my nation

@Yanderemenhera i feel like theyre all shallow and boring and the only good american urban legends r the ones that are based of native American legends TvT

@_Izzy_ ww1

?

@Biblecampvictim this isnt funny and frankly hella insensitive to imply that ww1 is just 'folklore' and let alone 'good' folklore. i get your tryna be funny but can you put a bit more effort into it next time instead of just ragebaiting??

@_Izzy_ and you 2 say we are the ones starting the arguments ._.

@ilovecats2018 what??? i literally said i WASNT tryna argue, then made a post that was actually relevant to the topic.
Please do not come into my threads to derail, your reply was unnecessary and not appreciated.

anyways, the teleputchi (def butchering the spelling) is a cool mexican harpy vampire i did a research project on a while ago
it was made to explain the deaths of infants, which was usually actually caused by mothers accidentally sufficating the infants during breast feeding or while sleeping
this one that doesnt get alot of attention but theres alot more to it and its origins actually go way deeper

but to summarize, once a month the teleputchi, disguised as women, the upper half of the creature separates and turn into a vulture i think and goes to hunt for its next victim (which is usually a infant as previously mentioned)

people were actually accused of being teleputchi and hanged, simmular to witch trials, and the most recent documented hanging was 1973 i think
and one of the weird rules of the teleputchi was that if you discovered its identity youd turn into one if you snitched... which makes it kinda impossible to expose
