Walk softly
With a silent tread
Lest you wake
The sleeping dead
Hide a horseshoe
Neath your bed
To keep away
The restless dead
Scatter salt
Give blood & bread
To appease
The hungry dead
Numbly wait in
Fearful dread
For
When all is done
& all is said
None escape
The vengeful dead
With a silent tread
Lest you wake
The sleeping dead
Hide a horseshoe
Neath your bed
To keep away
The restless dead
Scatter salt
Give blood & bread
To appease
The hungry dead
Numbly wait in
Fearful dread
For
When all is done
& all is said
None escape

The late 19th C. brought many inovations in medicine, much to the relief of both the general human populace & many minority communities.
Victorian vampires in particular, who had long suffered the indignity of being forced to feast on meals tainted by putrefaction, welcomed advances in purification.

One of the most wisely feared therianthropic covert military units is the infamous Special Owl Service.
Wereowl soldiers of the airborne SOS are uncannily able to camouflage themselves in any environment, wait patiently, then swoop on enemy troops to digest them & regurgitate the remains as pellets.

Although clowns have a not undeserved reputation as crazed giggling psychokillers it is easy to forget that historically they have performed many useful roles, such as protecting homes by acting as both guards & attack-dogs (until the tragic massacres of ‘57 in which 9 towns & 3.7 cities were lost).

The public is all too familiar with attacks by everyday dæmonic mutant clowns, but thankfully highly potent emanations of Clod, God of Fools {for example as physical manifestations of the 9th Circus of Hell} are relatively rare; such as the corporeal coalescence of an Infinite Jester in August 1962.

In 1902 after an unfortunate victim successfully managed to maul one of the crowd of onlookers tormenting it, the sordid ‘sport’ of werebearbaiting was outlawed, to the outrage of many Master Baiters who had for years argued that semi-human bloodsports brought income & employment to the countryside.

In 1793 the already excommunicated Comte de St Germain was cast up from the pit by Satan when the Count reneged on his diabolic deal by offering to sell his soul to God in an Angelic Pact.
Banned now from both Heaven & Hell, St Germain is doomed to walk the Earth eternally.
Which was always his plan

According to a 2003 meta-analysis conducted by the Ministry Of Occult Manipulation Of Objects, when reincarnated, approximately 98.97% of "Dirty Harry" fans are frozen, covered in chocolate, have sticks shoved up their bottoms & turned into Magnum icecreams, then given to punks to make their day.

IT experts have to cleanse computers infested not by viruses but by the spirits of sewer-dwelling clowns, yet worse problems exist for those attempting to use PCs with Pentagram Processors ™️ to contact the ghosts of wealthy Nigerian princes, as psychic messages are now estimated to be 93.693% Pspam.

Although Centaurs are widely accepted in contemporary society & indeed can be found at Royal Ascot mixing with those of the finest bloodlines, both humans & horses alike, even the editors of “Horse & Hound” are still inclined to basic bitchiness when doggedly dealing with homocanine Cynoquadropeds.

According to a 1902 report by RIP (the Royal Institute for Psipiscatology) after being filleted, the skeletal ghosts of fish enter the murky psychic seas of the human unconscious & take up residence within the dark depths of the Id, where they feed upon hidden fears & excrete ectoplasmic nightmares.

Although meteorological showers of
anomalous objects are not as uncommon as is widely assumed, (including downpourings of toads & frogs, cats & dogs, Datsun cogs, odds & sods, wooden clogs & numerous other eclectically eccentric items) the rain of fish which fell in 1986 was exceptionally heavy.

Figures burnt by the Ministry Of Occult Manipulation Of Objects in 2004 show that 98.73% of cups of coffee contain ghosts due to the use of expressocommunicated beans, thus making unhallowed ground coffee, possessing high coffine content.
