PATTERSON ROAD

Patterson Road

   

 IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, CULTURAL MEMORIES OF THE CIVIL WAR HAVE SPARKED NUMEROUS URBAN LEGENDS. 

ONE OF THE CREEPIEST IS IN THE CENTER AROUND PATTERSON ROAD, LOCATED NEAR HIGHWAY SIX;  Claims, depending on whom you are talking too that the road is haunted. However, everyone agrees that the ghosts involved were Civil War soldiers. Why? Because, as we all know, every bit of land someone from that period walked across has become a ghostly hot spot for the spirits of the soldiers of the CIVIL WAR. Believers of the ghosts of the Patterson Road say that if you go into the Langham Creek Bridge on Patterson late at night and park your car with the lights off, you will hear tapping sounds or see a white mist that will surround your car. There are even more skeptical locals that will point out that parking your car with your lights off on a busy bridge is a good way to become a ghost yourself. The image that I have is one that I found that is what the folks have seen on the Patterson Road and the spirits of the soldiers of the Civil War. As you can see the white mist surrounds them and they very much look like they come from that period where so many souls were killed by South/North. I hope you find this small post interesting my dears friends and followers love you all very much

Spiders in Hairdo- UrbanLegends

Spiders in Hairdo-
UrbanLegends-

BEEHIVE STYLE
EVEN TOO DAY
2012-2015

                                     

For our Next Creepy Urban Legend, I found a nightmarist kinda one 

for you ALL!  This one is called,

'SPIDERS IN THE HAIDO'.

This folktale was told originally in 1969 by a young woman in 

Princeton, Indiana. The Urban Legend of the

'Spiders in the Hairdo'.

Since it was told originally in 1969, some say in the story started

in high school, since at the time the hair in the sixty for 

teenage girls was to tease their hair. At the time, this style

looked nice on a lot of the girls, However, there were some girls

that carried the style to the extremes. 

[note. I do remember watching my aunt teasing her hair when

in the late sixty when I was 9 and 10 years old and it look so cool!]

But These other gals that took it to the extremes had huge!

bouffant hairdos on top of their heads, plus they would use

hair -spray to the point that their hair wouldn't even move. Not even to 

the smallest amount of breeze! 

Some say at the time or the style, these girls that went to

the extreme of the hair-spray would put as much of 

the hair-spray on their hair as they could.

This is where they got into trouble!

So it was said that one day they heard about an 

teen girl who went to high school in Evansville who had just

died because of her teased hair. 

After the girl had died the teachers tried to scared all the 

girls to not tease their hair anymore or use hair-spay, However it didn't 

work even with the death on the one girl, since style is style.

Well, more the the girls at Evansville high still teased their hair

however, the problem with the girl that had died was, she had one 

of the most bushy teased hairstyles and from what what they all heard

she also kept lotsssss of Hair-spray in her hair. Also it was said she hadn't 

washed her hair for over three months.

When she died she was just sitting in class and just keeled over. When

the teacher came over to check on her, she saw blood trickling down her face.

After she was taken to the hospital, they had found a nest

of black widow spiders had made a home in her hair and had started to

eat into her scalp and brain.

There are other legends from the same period from 1968-1969 that talk 

about hairdos infested with 

Cockroaches, Ants and even Maggots too. 

It all comes form the legend/folklore of the 1950's beehive hairdos

Then later the drealocks that if not well care for will bring the 

insects and maggots in some cases. 

As i looked for images It was creepy me out! 

and it seems that it is still a problem even today

 I hope I have creep to many of you out 

love you

DRYADES THE NYMPHS OF THE TREES~

DRYADS THE NYMPHS OF THE TREES-

The Beautiful Dryads Nymphs
of the Trees

Dryads were the beautiful Nymphs of the trees, groves,woods and mountain forests. They were the ladies of the Oaks, Pines, Ash, Apple and

Laurel Trees. For those known as the Hamadryades Nymphs 

of the Trees, these nymphs sprung up from the earth at their birth, to which their lives were closely tied to the type of tree they were born too. While the tree flourished, so did its resident nymph, however, when the tree died so did the nymph within the tree. There were several classes of the Dryades that was associated with a particular type of tree in the ancient times of Greek and other cultures too.

The Meliai Nymph tree's

1-The Meliai were the Nymphs of the ash-trees. They would spring up from Gaea the Earth when she was impregnated by the blood of the Castrated privates of Ouranos. The men of the Silver Age would marry these Nymphet's - in the time before mortal women were created and from them all of mankind was descended, of course this is all a matter of opinion. 
2-The Oreiades were the Nymphs of the Mountains conifers. The first of these were offspring of the five Daktyloi and the five Hekaterides.
Subsequently generations were descended from these elder Oreiades Nymphs of the mountains and their brothers the

Satyrs the brother of the Nymphs

Satyrs - These Mountain Nymphs that lived in the forest of the ancient Greece were primarily found high in the mountains nearest to the gods, since the majority of the lowland forest had been cleared cut for farming at that time by the humans. It was therefore natural for the Greeks to think of the Dyades as Mountain-dwelling area's. 
3- The Hamadryades were the Nymphs of the Oak Trees. These Nymphs Trees were usually were associated with the river-side trees and sacred groves too. 

Nymphs in the Apple and Fruit trees

4- Then there were the Maliades, Meliades or Epimlides which were the Nymph's of the Apple and all the other fruit trees. They were also protectors of the sheep in ancient times too. The Greek word melas form which their name derives means both apple and sheep. 
5- The Daphene's were the Nymphs of the Laure Trees, one of a class of an rarer tree-specific Nymphai. Others included the Nymphai Aigerioi(black poplar), Ampeloi(grape vine), Balanis-ilex Karyai(hazel-nut), Kraneiai(cherry-tree), Moreai(mulberry-tree), 
Pteleal(elm-tree) finally the Sykei(the fig-tree). So another 
way that the Dryades Nymphs were believe to be were

Nymph of the meadow

divinities of nature. The early Greeks would see the Nymphs of the mountains, trees, springs, rivers, grottoes, oceans, fountains as some kinda manifestation of the divine deity of nature of life. Even though many times they were not visible to them they felt they were divine embodiments of nature.  However, many times these beautiful creatures would show themselves it just depended on who the mortal Greek men or women were. There was another part of the Nymphs of the Gods, the were also regarded as the salutary and had beneficent powers of nature. They were both divinities of nature, joy, delightful, and  could also be an terror to mortals if nature was not being take care of in the way they believe that should be divinely right.

Hamadruade of the Oak forest that will
give you quite a fright 

They say that the Nymphs of the forest, groves and glens were believed to sometimes appear to have fun in frightening solitary mortal travellers if they felt the forest has not been taken care of properly in their eyes. So one should never travel alone in the forest. And never go to deep in the forest either because you may never find your way out! Also the Nymphs of the Trees and even the Hamadruade of the Oak, will frighten many of mortal in the deep forest. The Nymphs of the fruit trees can sometimes move around will do the same.

So you must take care when you entire  the forest , some 

of the Dryades Nymphs are friendly but others are 

very protective of the forest. 

It just depends where you

 happened to be in the forest or mountains.

I hope that you Enjoyed the post on the

Dryades Nymphs of the Trees & Mountains

I love you all very much my dear
