SEASON OF THE WITCH : Haunted Harvest | The Windsbraut and the Burning Man | Creepy Dark Folklore

from The Whispering Woods : Real Life Ghost & Paranormal Stories

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.A whirlwind witch and a fire-lit scarecrow: two guardians twisted into curses at harvest’s edge. We trace the Windsbraut—the “wind’s bride” whose sudden spirals snatch grain—and Poland’s Płonący Człowiek, a scarecrow said to blaze to life, binding trespassers’ spirits to his eternal fire. Air and flame, omen and warning: when the fields are reaped, something old still demands its due.OBSCURATA - Apple Spotify AmazonJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsbrauthttps://britishfairies.wordpress.com/2017/09/10/whirlwind-witches/https://vanderkrogt.net/statues/object.php?webpage=ST&record=dehb137https://ghostlyactivities.com/polish-scarecrow-legends/https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/12/24/3484https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ScarecrowSarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.
