Black Shadows AKA Urban Legends

Pitukupf, at least are pretty much immortal. Don't know about the tokoloshe.

I don't know if you actually can kill one. You might harm or hurt it and scare it off as it seems you did but I'm not so sure they can be killed by us mere mortals.

BTW, succubus = female, incubus = male. Neither experience, according to what I have read, is all that enjoyable to the victim although quite enjoyable to the victimizer so count your luckies.

Also, it really isn't a demon in that to be a demon, one must assume that these things are from a christian h*ll which isn't quite the case.... legend wise.

Pitukupf usually don't kill humans. They generally dislike most. Those who have shaman training may be talked to by them. They seem to have some form of keen foresight and can foretell things which, if you bribe them well enough, they may share with you... or tell you out of their own self-interest ... wanting you to do something about it to forefend it, I suppose.

You weren't smothered, per se so... who knows?

BTW #2 - And what of the Landlady? She of the house of horrors? Wasn't she the slightest bit curious to know what all the racket was for those three nights?

All that talk of hammering noises or creaks around the house is very familiar to me. I fall asleep to it every night!
The central heating in the house is set to switch off around 11pm which is more or less when i tend to go to bed. As the hot pipes cool down and contract, they shift in their fittings making all sorts of noises. Some sound like someone's hammering in the attic, some creak, some make brief louder bangs. Perhaps I've just explained those freaky noises.

and I'm quite surprised at the number of you who took the tokoloshe thing so seriously. They sound more like a myth that the sangoma's are too happy to perpetuate to keep themselves in business.

For the past 14 years my job has led me around the world to sleep in the mud of ancient battlefields. I've spent many nights laying on my stomach in the dark, foggy hours of late night, early morning doing my job, keeping watch while every one else slept. I can tell you from experience that the human imagination can dream up some truly scary stuff when put in the right setting.

ff, think about how each pipe is kept where it is by a metal loop screwed into your wall. When the pipe contracts or expands it puuls the screw loose and its thread skips out slightly, this then reverberates along the pipe, making a banging or hammering noise, it can quite easily sound like someone hammering wood. When I was a little kid I used to imagine some wierd guy hidden in the attic fixing the rafters or something

pipes may sound like hammering inside, but pipes wont bang out in the street.

Every country has its tales of monsters and creatures. Even Australia has one; the "Bunyip". It never seemed that scary to me though.

@Taw,

Probably gets lost in the translation but Furillo's #2? Let's see... was it Joyce Davenport portrayed by Veronica Hamill or the other way around

As Homer says.. Mmmmmmmmmmm

. BTW.... Davenport... what a choice of character's surname. Don't know if it s the same in the UK but a Davenport used to be the name of a big sofa/day bed contraption. Davenport....hyuk hyuk hyuk

Very typically, this discussion has degenerated into sex. You men are all alike.

To Tawakalna.

Although it seems that you are saying these things with conviction, I am skeptical about the reality of what you perceived. Did this landlady own any pets or did the house have a smell to it?

this may sound creepy,but one time i swear i saw Hitler behind me
and other time i had a vision of Jason while swimming in a lake

A quote from Celso of That 70's Show:I gotta have that car,El Camino is spanish for The Camino

AELK - That's the second time a female personage on here has made a gross generalisation about men. I resent that, and I take umbrage at your statement.

I agree Esq. You have no right to degrade us like that. But lets not start an argument. Anyways, You saw that crazed man Hitler behind you? Maybe you watch the history channel too much and to the Jason thing, maybe Jason movies.

We go for victory!

Look at my sig for insight, anbd im sure that it will apply undly in this curcumstance.
Steryotypicalism is the worst insult one can give to another, especially in this case, for all you know, we could be ten years old!! how could a ten year old be obsessed with sex?? hmm? hmm?? albeit many people may be obsessed with it, i know THAT for a fact, females as much as males. And id like to see how one comment, riddled with smileys can be attributed to a 'degeneration', you sense of humour shouldve kicked in then, but, it has obviously been damaged, or you dont have one.

@esq, what IS the bunyip anyway??

@storm: have you ever seen 'rat race'? there was a humourus portrayal of a hitler-like thing in that, he was driving hitlers old car and hit the brakes too quick, burnt his 'rude' finger with the ciggie lighter, got a 'mustachue' of hitler's wife's lipstick, and the ciggie lighter ended up in his mouth, making everything he said sound german. Imagine that crashing into a WW2 veterans meeting!!

cuz thats what happened

Most people that complain about sexism are more sexist than the people they complain about.
