Ouija

Ouija is the belief that one can receive messages during a séance by the Ouija board (also called talking board, spirit board) and planchette. The fingers of the participants are placed on the planchette which then moves about a board covered with numbers, letters and symbols so as to spell out messages.
The term "Ouija" is derived from the French "oui" (for "yes") and the German/Dutch "ja" (also for "yes").

The motion of the planchette is explained by the ideomotor effect. A typical session with the board has two or more people touching the planchette with at least one hand each, so that no single person need apply much force in order for the group as a whole to cause it to move. Each person experiences the illusion that the planchette moves under its own power.

Toe tag


A toe tag is a piece of cardboard with string that is attached to the big toe of a dead person in a morgue for identification purposes among the morticians correctly identifying corpses.

Morgue

A morgue or mortuary is a building or room (as in a hospital) used for the storage of human remains.

There are two types of morgue cold chambers:

Positive temperature 36/39°F (+2/+4°C): This is the most common type, used for keeping the bodies a few days or weeks. Decomposition of the corpse continues at a reduced rate.

Negative temperature -5/-13°F (-15°C/-25°C): This is used by forensic institutes for the storage of bodies that have not yet been identified. The body is completely frozen, halting decomposition.

Crows

Crows, and especially ravens, often feature in European legends or mythology as portents or harbingers of doom or death, because of their dark plumage, unnerving calls, and tendency to eat carrion. They are commonly thought to circle above scenes of death such as battles.








Another largely known myth still talked about today is of Crowman. Crowman, or Crowgio to be exact, stood upright just as a normal huminoid would, but had very elaborate and beautiful wings that would span to each of the walls of a large office. It is said that a human woman of Eastern heritage married the Crowman and birthed three exotic sons. They are all said to be living in a local rural area and not much else is known about this incredible creature.
