Scarecrows Being Summoned By Who?

Scarecrows Being Summoned By Who?
There were notes on they like;
"You-know-they'll-kill-you-''-guy.'
It would seem that in Japan there are lots of Urban Legends and this is just one, of hundreds in Japan
that I found. Throughout the summer I will be go through the Japan urban legends & many other type of tales for you all. It would seem that most folks focus on a few different spots within the spectrum of the small country of japan but very much populated.  There is also the ancient and regal samurai-style & culture of Japan Of course there is the lifestyle of the hustle and bustle in their huge cities like that of Tokyo. Now imagine hopping off a train some where in the middle of a rustic Japanese town which is bound with rich cultural experiences that you would never quite ever see anywhere else in the world. However, when you wonder throughout the rustic old Japanese town streets, something seems off....to you! The people don't seem to move much. In fact they do move at all! You look at a man resting against a large tree, smoking a cigarette. When you finally realize that he's a scarecrow. As you walk down the street a little more and turn, there is a woman doing chores or at least you thing it is a woman & it turns out to be another scarecrow.
Person putting scarecrows everywhere?
Could be a scary Scarecrow too?
As you continue down the street and walk up to one of the old buildings, you discover it is an one-room-classroom-school-house. The teacher and all the students within the school house are all scarecrows. After seeing all of this you have had enough, so you quickly turn around an run as fast as you can to catch the train back away from the creepy place. However, sadly the train has already gone. Now its just you and those creepy scarecrows and who else is in this creepy town? Welcome to Nagoro Japan, where Stine is having a nightmare more pleasant than the sight before your eyes or what scary thoughts that might be going through your mind.
Once you do get out of the Creepy Scarecrow town. You decided to go to the hall of records, to see what is going on with this place and what you find is very odd & daunting. It turns out its all the work of one woman, Tsukimi Ayano. She has been making the scarecrows for over ten years+, partially as replacement for the towns dwindling population.
The more that you read, you find out that the current ratio of scarecrows to people that actually live in the town is 150 to 35, which is probably the ratio of the sleepless to restful nights of the average Nagoro resident has every year, thanks to the burgeoning scarecrow population.
It was 13 years ago when Ayano first made her scarecrow in her town after the death of her father, it was away of keeping his memory alive. She found that she rather enjoyed making the
Scarecrows and so far she has made over 350, though many of them have been lost to time.
Osamu Suzuki, another resident of Nagoro who has watched the villages population slowly drop over the years, said that the scarecrows are 'indeed something to bring back memories.' They will also create new memories that people won't soon
Forget, no matter how hard they try.

Well, I hope that you all enjoyed the tale of the Scarecrows
It was just as fun for myself. I hope you all have a lovely day.

BROILED TANNING BEDS-

Broiled Tanning BEDS-
Hello, my dears as I have figure out through the years it seems that you all like the many different Urban Legends Posts that I've done/or at least most of you! This one that I have found is a bit creepy in a weird kinda way. I have found a few images to add to the tale from a very creepy movie series called Final Destination. There was a Tanning bed seen. So I thought it would be fitting to put a few of those images in this post. In this tale, the tanning bed was mistakenly taken that it could generate enough energy to overexpose a person so much from ultraviolet rays that it could actually cook the insides of that person without them even knowing it. Just a foul odor was all they would notice; even after bathing.
This would be all be done not knowing that he/she would only have 2weeks to life after a visit to the doctor.
Now for the tale-
Recently my secretary told me the story, sent to me in 1988 from Wisconsin. It was told to her by a girlfriend who heard it from a coworker who said she heard it from a friend who was in the same wedding party as the victim.
A young woman was going to be in a wedding party, but she was very unhappy with her pale un-tan body. Since there are only 30min per day limits sets at the tanning salons she decided to visited several of them each day, to increase the speed of her tanning in a shorter period of time.
So after several weeks of ding this routine- she had her result however, she wasn't feeling well at all. She also had a very foul odor about her even after taking long baths or showers. After a week she decided to make a appointment with her doctor and after he finished his examination he told the young woman that she had managed to cook her internal organs by over-exposure to the tanning rays. And the foul odor that wouldn't go away, well that was actually the rotting of her organs. The doctor then sadly had to tell her that she only had two weeks to live and would probably would not make it to the wedding.
There was good to this tale, in 1994 a student at the West Liberty State College reported that everyday tanning in these tanning beds has been tested to cause skin cancer.
So the moral of this story is to stay away from this things. they could kill you.




I do hope you enjoyed the Urban legend my dears so here are a few images from the creepy movie series called Final Destination Tanning bed-
Things start to get Bad!


TO KILLER TANNING BED

SO BEWARE OF THE TANNING BEDS!

CREEPY CONTAMINATIONS-FINGER BY DRY CLEANER

Creepy Contaminations-Finger by Dry Cleaner
Good morning my dearest friends, followers, supporters and readers. As to my many posts on urban legends & to how much it seems you all find them to be fascinating to read. I do try to find the very best ones. I hope this is another fun one to read too.
The tale starts...With a man eating at a Chinese restaurant and had bitten into something to hard to chew or shallow. Being a kind soul & rather not causing a scene, he decided to get his napkin and removed the offensive morsel of food wrapped in the napkin. After that he quietly put it into his jacket pocket, finished the rest of his dinner & the tough morsel that was put in his jacket was all but forgotten. Well, this was until one afternoon when his friendly neighborhood Dry cleaner, who was accompanied by two police officers came to his door. They produced his Jacket that he had dry clean at his friendly dry cleaner a couple day a go. The police asked him to identify his jacket. He easily did so, then he asked, 'What seems to be the problem Officer?' One of the police officers showed the man the evidence bag in which was the shriveled first two joints of a human forefinger. The Officer then told the man it had been found wrapped in a napkin in your jacket pocket.
At this point the man was very concern and a bit sick knowing that that was in his mouth a few weeks ago. Also that he was in trouble with the law too! At that moment the officer demanded, 'Where's the rest of the Body?' All the man could do is take his to the Restaurant where he ended up with that first two joints of a human forefinger on his plate and gave them also directions to the Chinese Restaurant.
(note: this is could happen to any type of restaurant it just happen to be Chinese and its just a urban legend...)
As they got closer the man asked if he should be concern about his health, but the police didn't say anything till they got to the place. As the tale ends;
There is Good news/Bad news...
The Good News was the cook at the restaurant had only lost the finger, that ended up on the gentleman plate.
The Bad News was an Pathologists had already did a report on the finger, that ended up on the gentleman plate then in his mouth chewing on it a bit. HAD LEPROUS!
Moral of the story- Never keep chewing on something too hard or that taste yuck. And always tell the owners of what ever restaurant you happen to be in. It could cost your life!
Well, I hope that you all enjoyed the tale I love you all very much
Your friend Always

US COASTAL CITIES & the RISEINING SEAS COULD THREATEN MILLIONS

US COASTAL CITIES & the RISES SEAS
COULD THREATEN MILLIONS-

In this post, I have been wanting to do this subject matter for quite some time. I will try to give you as much information that I can on this subject so that you will be in the coming years. As you know by looking at my blog, I have an clear subject going on with blog; One is the love and strong believe in the Fae, love of fantasy, mythology, urban legends, gardens, stories, poetry, faeries, dragons, hummingbirds, causes for children and animals and much more. However there is another side to me that I used to do when I was on network sites - Ning networks... And one of them was Climate and how it effects our planted. Since the world was so effected by weather the last couple of years I thought I would do a new group of posts on the problems that we are all are facing with Climate change. I hope you find this post interesting and helpful. I will do one or two a week, or when I find them. The first problem on American soil is the growing number of Americans that are making their new or old homes very near the idyllic beaches of the Florida Keys. I must say this area is beautiful, however it's also a very dangerous area too. Its only a matter of time when half of the state of Florida is under the ocean.  Sadly this is one of the first place that will be rushed with Hugh rogue waves that will cover have of the entire state of Florida. And beautiful Florida Keys will be gone! You see the combination of rising populations and rising seas could see millions of Americans living in homes that flood regularly during the next decades ahead, according to a nationwide analysis who wrote in the journal 'NaturFlooding' is already a routine during high tides and storms in parts of Florida.
The only way to protect the populations is by taking step now, and that is relocation of large populations or redirect the building in these high dangerous area's of the rising seas to come. Which isn't going to be easy because most don't believe that this is actually going to happen. The other huge problem that we need to address is the rising levels of the greenhouse effect of gas pollution that is continue warming the planet which is causing the seas to rise and the glaciers to melt. Scientists have combined their studies and research on the matter on local population trends with the conservation projections for the rising sea levels to conclude that the homes of 4million Americans would be inundated during high tides following 3 feet of seal level rise by the year 2100. I quote one ecologist at Stetson University as he says' Once you take into account growth of population, the numbers end up being two to three times more in terms of overall population that's going to be impacted than of you just look at current populations, who contributed to the study 'Florida really pops out'!
It would seem that the scientific researches have already done some preliminary steps in adapting to the rising seas in Monroe County & in some other vulnerable regions too. This places were studied for many things such as if a fossil fuel burning and deforestation continued at the current rates, they found it was leading to sea level rise of 6 feet by 2100. Sadly with these predictions, the researchers projected that the number of Americans living in homes that would be in the flooding areas would jump to 13million. Sadly most of those 13 million people that would be impacted by the rising seas;
California, New York and Louisiana alike would be home to about 1million people apiece whose homes could flood at high tide in 2100 if seas rise by 6 feet. Even though the results are speculative they are assume that developers well continue to build homes in the same manner on coastal hubs the way they currently do and at the current rates with the rising seas they also assume that the people will not make any changes and remain in the same area of the rising flood area's. Because no one truly believes it will happen. Another researcher at the nonprofit resource for the future said', 'People may now be living in areas that will be inundated in 50 or 100 years but we have time to react'. 'Sea level rise is not an immediate impact there is time to move and adapt.'
Nobody really know how our communities will be reshaped as the flooding continues to become more routine in the lowland area's. We just have to hope that the people will listen to the warning early as the projections are true - so that we can re locate millions of people before it happens.
In doing this post I did find that Florida is in the most danger of loosing huge percent of their populations. If the rising seas just goes to 3 feet they could loose about 4percet of the population of Florida and if its 6 feet well, that could be a disaster. The problem could affect nearly 2million residents of the county in 2100, even more that a third of the people who are expected to live there by the year too. As for the affect on Monroe County , which includes key west and other islands at the tip of Florida or any islands around the world that are sea level, they all would be hit the hardest. If the seas rise up to 6 feet+ by 2100 the researcher project that 83% of its residents world endure daily flooding. Some saw that half of Florida would be gone after all the flooding is done and no more island in around the oceans would survive. So we need to act now and help as many people as we can. Sadly when  I started doing this over 10+ years ago no one believed I hope now people will start because it is getting worst and it will happen. I just wish that people would have listen 10+ years ago when lots of folks were trying to tell people it was going to happen and it was slowly how lets just hope it isn't to late. love you Wendy...

WHITE STRING OF JAPAN URBAN LEGEND

White String-
Good evening my dears I thought I would try and catch-up for the month If I can or try to. For this post I know that some of you enjoy a good creepy urban legend and I know that there are quite a few in the Japanese legend. The White String is right up there with creepy. Its a short one but interesting too. Some say besides being a urban legend it is a true one however that one I will leave for you all to decided for yourselves.
The White String is a strange urban legend from Japan that I found on my favorite site for Japanese folklore/urban legends. The story is about ear pierces. Which is odd because I had my ears pierced when I was 16years old in the mall and my little sister did at was 14 and were both just fine. Well one with the tall. It was very popular in the 80's to get your ears pierced as I do remember that too. At the time in the 80's when the popular time of getting your ears pierced was going on this urban legend stopped quite a few young japan kids for fear that the urban legend would happen to them! Many were very afraid that the urban legend would truly happen compared to some of the others so many didn't get their ears pierced during that time of the 80's.
Well this is the tale of what happen to one girl in japan that did get her ears pierced and why so many believe the urban legend of the White String.
ONE DAY THERE WAS A YOUNG GIRL THAT WAS DESPERATELY WANTED TO HAVE HER EARS PIERCED. SHE LIVED IN JAPAN WITH HER PARENTS AND THEY SAID SHE WAS FAR TO YOUNG AND NEED TO WAIT A FEW YEARS. HOWEVER THE YOUNG GIRL PLEADED WITH HER PARENTS, SAYING THAT ALL HER CLASSMATES WERE GETTING IT DONE AT THIS AGE PLEASE!PLEASE! SHE WOULD SAY! WELL, EVENTUALLY HER PARENTS LET HER DO IT AND GAVE HER SOME MONEY, THEY TOLD HER TO GO TO THE LOCAL MALL TO GET IT DONE IN A LOCAL JEWRY STORE THEN GET PIERCED EARRINGS. THEY FELT AT LEAST SHE WOULD BE SAFE IN THE JEWRY STORE MALL. OR AT LEAST THEY THOUGHT.
THINGS DON'T ALWAYS GO AS A PARENT WOULD HOPE THE YOUNG GIRL DECIDED TO KEEP THE MONEY FOR HERSELF AND TO THE PIERCING HERSELF. THE YOUNG GIRL GOT HER BEST FRIEND TO HELP HER DO IT JUST IN CASE IT WAS HARDER THAN SHE THOUGHT. FIRST THEY HEATED UP A VERY LARGE NEEDLE TO MAKE SURE NO INFECTION AND THEN STUCK IT IN BOTH OF THEIR EARLOBES. OF COURSE IT WAS VERY PAINFUL FOR BOTH OF THE GIRLS. BUT IN THE END BOTH HERE FRIEND AND HERSELF HAD PIERCED EARS AND COULD WARE THE FANCY EARRINGS THAT THEY WANTED TOO. SO FAR EVERYTHING WAS GOING FINE AND NO SCARY CURSE OR LEGEND HAD HAPPEN TO THE GIRLS FOR DAYS. BUT ALL GOOD THINGS WHEN YOU ARE MESSING WITH A URBAN LEGEND MUST COME TO AN END. SO IT HAPPENED A FEW DAYS LATER , WHILE THE GIRL WAS IN SCHOOL SHE WAS BEGINNING TO GET A LOT OF PAIN IN HER LEFT EAR WHERE SHE HAD PIERCED HER EAR. THE LEFT EARLOBE BEGAN TO GET VERY ITCHY AND PAINFUL TOO. DURING A BREAK AT SCHOOL SHE DECIDED TO HAVE A LOOK AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM TO LOOK AT HER EARLOBE., ONLY TO DISCOVER IT HAD GOTTEN EVEN WORST. HER EAR WAS BRIGHT RED AND INFLAME AND VERY ITCHY TOO! THE YOUNG GIRL BEGAN TO SCRATCH AT IT ALOT. STILL IN THE SCHOOL BATHROOM SHE NOTICED SOMETHING ODD, WHEN THE YOUNG GIRL HAD A CLOSER LOOK AT HER EAR, IT LOOKED LIKE THE END OF A PIECE OF WHITE STRING, WAS COMING OUT OF HER EARLOBE. THE YOUNG GIRL THOUGHT THIS TO BE VERY STRANGE & IT SHOULD BE THERE SO, SHE STARTED TO PULL AND PICK AT THE LONG WHITE STRING THAT WAS COMING FROM HER EARLOBE IN HOPE THAT IT WOULD STOP THE PAINFUL ITCH TOO. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THERE WAS A VERY LONG PIECE OF WHITE STRING HANGING OUT OF HER PIERCED EARLOBES, AS SHE LOOKED AT IT THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ANY END TO IT. IT JUST WENT ON AND ON AND ON! SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! BUT SHE DIDN'T THING IT WAS ANYTHING IMPORTANT, SO SHE GOT A PART OF SCISSORS & CUT THE LONG WHITE STRING THAT WAS HANGING OUT OF HER EARLOBE THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY END TO IT. AS SOON AS SHE CUT THE WHITE STRING EVERYTHING WENT BLACK & SHE COULDN'T SEE A THING! RUNNING OUT OF THE BATHROOM TO GET HELP SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND THE LOCAL DOCTOR EXAMINED HER. FINALLY THE DOCTOR WAS ABLE TO TELL THE YOUNG GIRL WHAT HAD HAPPEN TO HER AND SHE ALMOST WENT INTO SHOCK. YOU SEE, THE DOCTOR AT THE HOSPITAL SAID TO THE GIRL THAT SHE WILL BE BLIND FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE! THE REST FOR THIS IS; THE REASON FOR THIS IS THE WHITE STRING THAT YOU WERE PULLING ON THAT WAS IN YOUR EARLOBE AND THEN NOTICE THAT IT WAS VERY LONG WITH NO ENDING WAS YOUR OPTIC NERVE. I DON'T KNOW WAY IT WAS COMING FROM YOU EAR BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE COME HERE TO HOSPITAL BEFORE YOU START CUTTING THINGS....
SO THAT IS THE URBAN LEGEND OF THE WHITE STRING. HOPE YOU ALL FOUND IT INTERESTING MY DEAREST FRIENDS, FOLLOWERS, SUPPORTERS AND READERS
YOUR FRIEND ALWAYS

NEIMAN MARCUS COOKIES

Neiman Marcus Cookies-Recipe
Good morning my dearest Followers, Friends, & Readers. HAPPY FOOLS DAY! 
Well, for todays post I thought I would do an Urban Legend that is actually True! I'm not really good with pranks, so I hope that you all enjoy the tale. This one is actually True. It's called 'Neiman Marcus Cookies' and I found it in my book called 'The Colossal Book of Legends. From what the woman had said, in just the first couple of lines, I just had to tell her story.
This is the story;
'My daughter & I had just finished a salad at Neiman Marcus Cookies Cafe in Dallas & decided to have a small dessert. Because both of us are such cookie lovers. We decide to try the 'Neiman Marcus Cookie." It was so excellent that I asked if they would give me the recipe & the waitress said with a small frown, "I'm afraid not'. Well, would you let me buy the recipe? With a cute smile, the waitress said, yes. I asked how much? The waitress responded, "only two fifty'. I said great deal & just added it to my tab. Well, thirty days later, she received her visa statement from Neiman Marcus and her bill was $285.00. She had to look at the bill twice, then remembered that she had only spent 9.95$ for two salads and about $20.00 for a scarf. She glanced at the bottom of the statement and it said, "COOKIE RECIPE $250.00.
She said that was outrageous!
She called Neiman's accounting Dept and told them the waitress said 'two-fifty dollars to her'.
She asked if there was anyone there possible to interpret the phrase 'only two fifty?' Sadly Neiman Marcus refused to budge on the matter. They would not refund her money, because according to them, 'What the waitress told her is not our problem. You have already seen the recipe so we absolutely will not refund your money at this point.
She said, Okay, You folks got my $250. Now I'm going to have fun. She told the Neimans Accounting Dept, she was going to see to it that every cookie lover in the United States with an email account has a $250 Cookie Recipe from Neiman-Marcus for FREE! 
NOTE AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS TRUE URBAN LEGEN SHE SAID- 'THIS IS TRUE -PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ AND PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON YOU KNOW!
It seems that they replied, 'I wished you wouldn't do this! However, the woman that Neiman Marcus wouldn't refund the $250.00 relied Well, you should have thought of that before! 
So there it is & and here is the Recipe to that could be halved-
Neiman Marcus cookies Recipe-
2-cups butter
4-cups flour
2-tsp. Soda (club soda)
2-cups sugar
5-cups blended oatmeal...
24-oz. Chocolate chips
3-cups chopped nuts (your choice)
2-cups brown sugar
1-tsp salt
1-8 oz Hershey Bar graded
4-eggs
2-tsp baking powder
2-tsp van.
Measure oatmeal and blend in a blender to a fine powder. Then cream the butter and both sugars. Add 4 eggs and Vanilla. Then mix together with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey bar and nuts. Roll into small balls and place two inches apart on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10min at 375 degrees. Makes 112 cookies
True story urban legend - True Recipe Enjoy.
Love you all 
Your friend always

THE MYSTIC HOUNDS OF THE ANCIENT CELTIC

THE MYSTIC HOUNDS~
In this post I will bring you into the sacred world of the Celts my dearest friends,followers, supports and 
 reader's too! I'm going to cover the world of the mystic Hounds that are mostly connected to the Celtic other world. It is said in the Ancient world of the Celtic, 'of all the hounds he had seen in the world, had seen no dogs the colour as these were. Their colour was an brilliant shining white & their ears as red as some say as blood.' King Pwyll of Dyfed was right to wonder about these strange dogs, for their master as Arawn(note I have done a post on Arawn & it is at the bottom of this in the purple color link)
http://wendyjargonncom.blogspot.com/search/label/Arawn%20Celtic%20God%20of%20the%20Underworld
Arawn was the ruler of Annwn, the magical other world of the
Celtic Dogs were among the most often type of animal that was connected with the Celtic at the time of the ancient Celtic. These Mystic hounds may be the harbingers of death, as the red-eared hounds of Annwn. Some have said the colour Red is associated with death too. However these legends and traditions were many centuries ago in the Celtic counties of Ireland, Scotland and Wales. In the Celtic tale of Da Derga is said to possess a pack of nine white hounds. They have said that white is another colour that indicates the supernatural in the world of the Celtic.
The Celtic dogs were also believed to have magical healing qualities. It has been suggested that this is because they heal their own wounds by licking them, but for whatever reasons they are commonly found at Celtic healing sanctuaries too. It would seem that at one sanctuary,at Lydney in Gloucestershine. No fewer than nine canine images have been discover as offerings to the British Gods Nodens.
They have also found many dog skeletons at sites in areas to Wales,
 Ireland and Scotland which suggests that they were involved in the
 virtual of these sacrifices, that were possibly associated with the afterlife and the otherworldly. So there are many things that are truly quite amazing that have happened all around this beautiful Earth of ours in all different cultures around the would. And I have only partly touch it in the 3years I have been blogging and writing in the Ning.com sites too. I hope that you all enjoy my stories,
 legends, research on true stories and ancient legends and factual stories too. Of course the scary Urban legends are fun too, with a bit of my life. I love you all and I will see you soon.
