Moon-Eyed People

Wikipedia:
In his 1902 Myths of the Cherokee, ethnographer James Mooney described a "dim but persistent tradition" of an ancient race who preceded the Cherokee in lower Appalachia and were driven out by them. Accounts often describe this race as having white skin and credit them with building the ancient structures in the area. The earliest recorded mention of this race appears to be in Benjamin Smith Barton's 1797 book New Views of the Origin of the Tribes and Nations of America. Citing the authority of Colonel Leonard Marbury, Barton wrote that "the Cherokee tell us, that when they first arrived in the country which they inhabit, they found it possessed by certain 'moon-eyed-people,' who could not see in the day-time. These wretches they expelled." Barton suggested these "moon-eyed people" were the ancestors of the albinos Lionel Wafer encountered among the Kuna people of Panama, who were called "moon-eyed" because they could see better at night than day. 

Paranormal Himalayas: Full of Amazing Finds!

Mt. Everest at 29,000 feet and other mountains in the Tibetan Plateau that tempt hikers to climb to their summits are also magnets for unexplained mysteries.

If para experiences occur rampantly in geologically active areas, then Tibet is surely one of the most spooky places in the world!

Valentine's Day Horror Movies and Spring Fever Horror Movies

About this time of year, many of us are having spring fever. I know have it big-time but where I live it's been in the 80s, so it will spark your desire to go out into the sunlight. Couple that with the infamous day of the year couples are obligated to show their love and devotion, and you have the most anti-horror day there is. And yet, those of us who love horror and don't celebrate Valentine's might like to retreat into a horror marathon. Here's some ideas -

He was estimated to be from around 9500 BC.
