Word of the day/Upcoming Haunt Hunt: Resurrection Cemetery

 Liekkö: In Finnish folklore, an "Ignis Fatuus" light, comparable to the English "Jack-O'-Lantern". The liekkö, which means "the flaming one", is believed to be the soul of a child who was buried in the forest. It presides over plants, roots, and trees. (The Encyclopedia of Ghosts and Spirits by Rosemary Ellen Guily).



Alright, folks! Time for another Haunt Hunt before the weather gets freakishly cold! This Saturday, at 4, Psychopomp Paranormal Society will be meeting at Resurrection Cemetery, located in Justice, IL, on Archer Avenue. From there, we'll explore some of the legends and myths such as the infamous "Resurrection Mary". If anyone has any questions, concerns, or needs some carpooling help, please email Emily at PsychopompParanormal@gmail.com.

Until then, Readers! See you all soon!

Word of the day/Meeting update.

A banshee is a female spirit from Irish mythology that is said to be a fore bearer and an omen for death. Usually, it's an apparition that is tied to a certain family, and its howling can be heard when a family member is about to pass. The appearance can be anything to a fair young maiden to an aged crone.

On other news, Psychopomp will prepare for its second meeting. Just because Halloween is over doesn't mean ghost hunting will take a break! This meeting will take place on Saturday, November 5th in La Grange, IL at Caribou Coffee (30 North La Grange Road) at 1 pm sharp. If rides are needed, carpooling can and will be arranged! This meeting, we will discuss future investigations and becoming a formally recognized non-profit group!


Any questions or concerns, email Emily at psychopompparanormal@gmail.com!


Have a great day, readers!
