Ricky I was only joking about the boring in psychology. If you look back about myths of monsters you will find most events are symbolic of psychological culture and thinking. Think of Lillith . A symbol of
1} Sexual domination
2}Matriarchial society evolving to patriarchial society
But then you have eyewitness if not physical evidence in dead cattle and goats of the south american chupacabra. although this crosses the realm of cryptozoology which we know has proof of animals once thought to be extinct. We discover new life every day.
No jumping around on any hot bricks for me
Feedback
What monster do you want to talk about?
Psychological, Supernatural, Cryptozoological, Anomatlitical {Is that a word?}
How about how the psycholgical can be the answer to the supernatural?
That despite psychological advancement the supernatural still occur unexplainable? Anomalitical there is that word again.
Please someone tell me is that a word and what it means. I want it to be understoood as an extraordinary event that cannot be explained by Scientific theory?
Getting late Tired Have to do another job other than the great woo- woo threads we have had. I must say again that great site SFN!!! Now in the process of converting my husband to joining

A creature having a strange or frightening appearance.
An animal, a plant, or other organism having structural defects or deformities.

A very large animal, plant, or object.
One who inspires horror or disgust: a monster of selfishness.
adj.

[Middle English monstre, from Old French, from Latin mnstrum, portent, monster, from monre, to warn. See men-1 in Indo-European Roots.]
Is this suffincient?

 That was the first word that popped into my head too, but it really doesn't resemble the definition she is looking for:

Haha, ok, you're right. Science has no explanation for male nipples. We need a "new" science! One that can account for ghostly energy and male nipples.

I meant Anomalous. Although Anatomical is also interesting in this monster thread.
Are we all familiar with the movie the Exorcist?
Well if you are then you will appreciate it in the movie sense if you do not then you will be enlightened to some ancient Babylonian Lore.
In the movie a statue is shown numerous times it is the Babylonia Demon/ Diety Pazuzu
Although said to cause pestilence he is also used to ward it off.
According to filthys definition via dictionary.com a monster can be a plant, animal or other organism that possess structural deformaties
Something not supernatural but just say natural because I think I heard on here that although nature creates it does not mean it is good. Although man can create these "monsters" many times we do in mice in umm scientific experimentation. Look at the drug companies with us humans? |

Storm, I hope you don't take this personally, but I find many of your posts to be rather scatterbrained. For instance, I'm unable to find the connection between The Exorcist and the Babylonia Demon Pazuzu with the rest of what you said in your last post.
I'm sure in your mind there was a point that linked together everything you touched on, but it didn't come across. Could you perhaps just slow down a bit and reform your thoughts into something a little more coherent?

Well H. We are talking about Monsters and different types.
About how advancemnet in psychology has dispelled many myths reguarding them. How monsters like bigfoot, nessie might just be hidden animals not discovered or cryptozoological animals. Some monsters can be genetic anomolies.
Although the general public sees monsters as some grotesque or ugly the word itself in latin means a showing forth or a revealing...
So.... you can say that a monster is a revelation of something grotesque or ugly?
Understand?
Anyone have any monster encounters?

Not what any of that has to do with the Babalonian demon responsible for pestilence, no. Unless, are you saying that the germ theory dispelled the necessity to posit a demon responsible for plagues?

Very interesting theory there H. Just to let ya know been doing some real serious research into the questions you gave me to answer so I left ya a website to check oout on the other thread.
On your comment again yes and no. People still use these staturs, talismans. etc. But this is a whole other thread...
Say about the power of certain talismans or the energy.. of them much like the Suns and it's influence on us..
Also how psychological and supernatural come together...
sometimes things are what you label it .... |
