This is our Seventh bedtime story is none other than... Clowns! ****************************************************************************
What is the origin of 'Clowns'?
The origin of the word "clown" is uncertain. It first appears around the 1560s and may come from a Scandinavian linguistic root meaning "clumsy, boorish fellow" (Icelandic klunni and Swedish kluns). A similar term also exists in North Frisian — klönne and in Dutch-"kluns", meaning "clumsy person". The meaning of clown as a fool or jester is c. 1600. "Clown" as a verb appears much later — the early 20th century — and may be linked to music hall. ****************************************************************************
Who gave birth to Clowns? Joseph Grimaldi ****************************************************************************
When was Clowns born? Around 2400 BC ****************************************************************************
Where did Clowns come from? The most ancient clowns have been found in the Fifth dynasty of Egypt. ********************************** Why do Clowns go from funny to evil? Well, Clowns can go from cute and funny at a kids birthday party like Krusty the Clown or Pollachi but where did this go wrong, from funny to evil? Honestly, I'm not sure. Most people like clowns and there are those people who are afraid of clowns. ********************************** Fear of clowns A depiction of an evil clown, a character depicted in the media, which might cause anxiety to someone with coulrophobia. The term coulrophobia has been proposed to denote an abnormal, exaggerated, or irrational fear of clowns. The term is of recent use and is not commonly used in psychology. According to one analyst, it "has been coined more on the Internet than in printed form because it does not appear in any previously published, psychiatric, unabridged, or abridged dictionary". In particular, the term is not recognised as a specific disorder by the American Psychiatric Association in its latest categorisation of disorders, nor is it recognised by the World Health Organisation as a valid disorder. In the Space To Care study aimed at improving hospital design for children, researchers from the University of Sheffield polled 250 children regarding their opinions on clowns; all 250 children in the study, whose ages ranged between four and sixteen, reported that they disliked clowns as part of hospital decor. Many of them, including some older children, stated in the poll that they, in fact, actively feared clowns.
Clown costumes tend to exaggerate the facial features and some body parts, such as hands and feet and noses. This can be read as monstrous or deformed as easily as it can be read as comical. Some have suggested, however, that a fear of clowns may stem from early childhood experience, when infants begin to process and make sense of facial features. The significant aberrations in a clown's face may alter a person's appearance so much that it enters the so-called uncanny valley—in which a figure is lifelike enough to be disturbing, but not realistic enough to be pleasant—and thus frightens a child so much that they carry this phobia throughout their adult life. Some also argue that notorious clown figures in literature (Pennywise in Stephen King's It) and real life (John Wayne Gacy) have contributed to adults being averse to clowns. Additionally, the fact that much clown behavior is "transgressive" (anti-social behavior) can create feelings of unease. The British arts and music festival Bestival cancelled its planned clown theme in 2006 after many adult ticketholders contacted the organizers expressing a fear of clowns. **************************************************************************** Critic's Pick: Clowns

Hey Guys and Dolls! The agency I work with, contacted me to do a review on Nectar Sunglasses.
The video part will be a hair late, the program I was using to edit the video on, "Final Cut Pro" wasn't working right. I might have to re-record the review but until then, I'd figure I would do this blog review until then.
The Sunglasses I got to choose from are sunnies called, "Stoke". Now, in the picture it showed that it was white and not clear.

The legend of Saint Christina dates to the later Fourth Century at Bofena, Italy where recent archeological evidence has shown that the patron of St. Christine's Church was indeed venerated.
She was the daughter of Urbain, a rich and powerful magistrate who was a palace official and descendant of a famous Bofena family. But he was a heathen, she a Christina, At age 11 the beautiful Christina found herself much desired as a bride by young nobles, whom she rejected. Angered , her father locked her and 12 servants in a tower, placing in her cell the expensive idols of his heathen worship. Christina smashed them after an angelic vision, and had the priceless pieces distributed among the poor.
This act seemed to have turned Urbain into the persecutor of his daughter. He had her whipped and thrown into prison. But Christina remained unshaken in her Faith, even after having her body torn and placed upon a grate over a fire (which miraculously was turned against her persecutors). After this, the unyielding, but pitiful girl was consoled by angels in her dungeon cell.
Next, she was thrown into the lake of Bolsena with a stone around her neck, but again was saved by an angel. Even after her father died, Christina was to suffer for Christ the most inhumane tortures under Urbain's successor. She finally was imprisoned, thrown into a furnace where she remained five days miraculously unhurt, survived in a pit of serpents, and had her tongue cut out. The martyr to be was slain by lances at Tyro, a city which once stood on an island in the lake of Bolsena, but which since has
been covered by the waters.

True Tales of Haunted Dolls By: Christy Gordon Dolls have long been a source of amusement for both children and adults. However, they can also bring terror as well as joy. Read on for chilling true tales of haunted dolls and possessed playthings. **************************************************************************** The Legend of Robert the Doll
When it comes to haunted dolls, Robert is arguably America’s most famous. The Key West doll is a fixture on local ghost tours and even served as an inspiration for Chucky in Child’s Play.
Robert belonged to Key West painter and author Robert Eugene Otto. In 1906, a Bahamian maid reportedly gave the doll to Robert and then cursed the toy after Robert’s parents displeased her. Soon after the maid’s departure, strange events began plaguing the Otto household.
Young Robert enjoyed talking to his namesake, and servants insisted the doll talked back. They also claimed the plaything could change expressions at will and move about the house on his own. Neighbors reportedly saw the doll move from window to window when the family was away, and members of the Otto household heard maniacal giggles emanating from the toy.
Robert the Doll spooked plenty of folks during the day, but at night he focused on young Robert Otto. The boy would wake in the middle of the night, screaming in fear, as the heavy furniture in his room crashed to the floor. When his parents demanded to know what happened, Otto’s response was always the same: “Robert did it! It was Robert.”
Robert Otto died in 1974, and his notorious doll now sits on display at the Fort East Martello Museum in Key West. Legend has it the doll will curse anyone who takes a photo without permission, which Robert grants by slightly tilting his head. Visitors who forget can always beg for forgiveness which is what cameramen from the Travel Channel did after their HD camera mysteriously stopped working. **************************************************************************** The Eyes Follow You Haunted Doll Sites David’s Haunted Dolls is dedicated to educating the public about haunted dolls and the best way to care for any “Spirit Children” they might come across.
Though dolls like Robert grab headlines and spark imaginations, they’re not alone. Hundreds of haunted doll tales fill ghost blogs and forums across web, including one from an average woman in Moundsville, WV.
Years ago, the woman had a grade school friend named Emily and the two spent a lot of time at Emily’s home. The entire house had a strange feeling to it, but it was the attic that was the most unnerving.
“The attic was finished, but had that ‘death’ smell to it, like an abandoned building,”the woman writes. “It was always cold, despite the hot air that would rise from the floors below. The attic contained four small rooms, and one room was entirely devoted to dolls which I always found terrifying.”
One afternoon, the girls played with a few of the dolls until Emily’s grandmother called them to lunch. They placed the rag dolls back on the shelf, but one tumbled off just as they were about to leave. This was strange as the doll fell in a way that seemed physically impossible. Puzzled, the woman returned the doll to its shelf and went downstairs to eat. However, that wasn’t the end of the encounter.
“Later on that day, Emily and I were playing in the woods adjacent to her house, and I squatted down to pick up a pretty stone,” the woman writes. “When I went down, I felt something poking me in my pocket. I put my hand in the pocket, and I found two doll eyes …the eyes from the doll I had picked up earlier that day. Needless to say, I have been terrified of dolls ever since.” ****************************************************************************
Haunted Doll Sites Though most people avoid haunted dolls, some have a passion for possessed playthings and share their knowledge and interest online.
The Doll House Cam The Doll House Cam streams videos of haunted dolls 24/7, giving armchair ghost hunters the chance to spot a possessed doll in action.
“Set in a farmhouse in rural Pennsylvania, amongst the mountains and streams, is a little known secret,” reads the title page of DollHouseCam.com. “Seven dolls that once were loved by little girls now adorn the home of a family of five. They don’t just sit on a shelf looking pretty. These porcelain beauties, for lack of a better description, have taken on a life of their own.”
David’s Haunted Dolls “A haunted doll is not your everyday Betsy Wetsy,” he writes. “Haunted dolls are real life spirits that are attached to a certain host doll. Nobody really knows if the spirit picks that host doll, or if they are just drawn there, but we do know it happens. You might even have a haunted doll in your home, and not even know it.”

I try and collect a variety of hosts, spirits, and unique paranormal magical items.” ****************************************************************************

The
Boogieman Is Coming
Boogieman,
also spelt as bogeyman, boogyman, bogyman, boogieman, boogey monster, is a
legendary ghost-like monster. Having no precise appearance and conceptions like
the other famous monsters, the Boogie man can change significantly even from
house to house, within the same community, led on by the imagination of a child
or a person. He is just a formless personification of terror. Boogie
monster can be used figuratively to indicate a person or thing of which someone
has an unreasonable fear. Parents are often heard telling their naughty child
of a Boogieman hiding under his bed or in his bathroom, all in an effort to
make them behave. The
bogeyman legend is believed to originate from Scotland. These famous monsters
are sometimes
called: bogles, boggarts, or boggers. The word bogey is drawn from the Middle
English bogge/bugge. The word Boogie man can also be linked to many similar
words in other European languages: boeman (Dutch), buse (Nynorsk), bøhmand
(Danish), pookha (Irish Gaelic), pwca, (Welsh) etc...
The
Boogie monster and the stories related to them can vary by region or within the
same community too. The bogeyman can be a male or a female, and in others
cases, even both. In some parts of the world, boogyman can scratch your window
at night, maybe manifest in a "green fog" or hide in his favorite
places like closets or under the bed, behind the bathroom doors. It is also
believed that a wart can be transmitted to someone by the bogeyman. He can also
punish children who suck their thumbs or for any general misbehavior. To
conclude, we can see that the bogyman or the boogey monster is a legendary
fictional creature, feared by just anyone. Although his looks aren't really
known, but nevertheless, he manages to scare the daylight out of anybody. http://www.thehouseofmonsters.com/boogieman-legendary-fictional-creature.html
The bogeyman is a legendary ghost-like monster. The bogeyman has no specific appearance and conceptions of the monster can vary drastically even from household to household within the same community; in many cases he simply has no set appearance in the mind of a child, but is just an amorphous embodiment of terror.
1. Japan- The Namahage visits each house on New Year’s to ask if any misbehaving children live there. If the parents are able to report that their children are not lazy and do not cry, he moves on to the next house.
2. Korea- The Korean bogeyman is called Kotgahm, which is the word for persimmon. The legend is that a mother told her crying child that she would feed him to a tiger if he did not behave. A passing tiger, hearing the threat, waited outside the door for his meal. Instead, the mother gave the child a persimmon, a kotgahm, and the crying stopped. The tiger thought the kotgahm must be a terrifically fierce creature to be more frightening than a tiger. Today, the kotgahm is most often visualized as an old man with a mesh sack who carries naughty children away.
3. Spain and Mexico- Duérmete, niño, duérmete ya. Que viene el coco y te comeráGo to sleep child, go to sleep now.
The coconut man will come and eat you.If you think of a coconut as a head, with the three holes the features of a face, you can see how El Coco might be transformed in the mind of a child to a hairy little man. During the 16th and 17th centuries in Spain, there were orphan collectors, who took children away in sacks. The misbehavior? Refusing to go to bed and sleep.
4. Finland- One of the most unusual of the world’s bogeys is Groke, a giant blue blob who is so lonely and sad that the ground beneath her feet freezes as she walks. She is not malevolent, just lonely. But she frightens people, and they run from her.
5. England- There are many theories about the origin of the word “bogeyman.” One is that it devolved from “buggy man,” the driver of the cart picking up corpses during the Black Plague that decimated Europe. As in the United States, the bogeyman may be nothing more clearly defined than a mist or fog, scratching at windows, or he is sometimes thought of as a tall, gaunt, scarecrow-like man.
6. Scotland- The boggart is a malicious fairy who causes personal calamities, small and large. It sometimes puts a cold hand on people’s faces at night. You must not name it, or it will become unreasonable and follow your family wherever you go. A horseshoe over the doorway will protect you from boggarts.
7. Bahamas- The Small Man has a rolling cart and captures children who are out after sundown. If he gets you, you will become a Small Person yourself, and ride in his cart forever.
8. Bulgaria- The anti-Santa Claus, Baba Yaga’s evil partner, Torbalan lurks in the shadows in Bulgaria, waiting to snatch misbehaving children and carry them away in a sack.
9. Czech Republic and Poland- Bubak is a scarecrow-like man who hides on riverbanks, making sounds like a lost baby to lure adults as well as children. He drives a cart driven by cats and weaves clothing for the souls he has stolen.
10. Netherlands- The Bolman has claws and fangs. He hides under your bed or in your closet waiting to grab you and put you in the basement if you don’t sleep.
11. Philippines- Pugot Mamu is a gigantic, headless shape-shifter who lives in trees and deserted houses. Self-beheaded, he eats children through the hole in his neck.
12. Quebec- The Bonhomme Sept-Heures – the seven o’clock man – may have been taken from the English “bone setter,” an old name for a traveling medicine man. The seven o’clock man steals children, but can only get you if you are awake.
13. Norway- The Nokken, a lake monster, will get you if you don’t come in when called.
14. Trinidad and Tobago- The Jumbies live here, post-death misbehavers. They are shape-shifters, so children are taught not to play with random animals. There are several ways to defeat Jumbies, however. You can leave your shoes outside; Jumbies have no feet and will spend the night trying to get the shoes on. You can leave a container of sand or rice outside the door; Jumbies will have to count each grain. You can cross a river; Jumbies won’t cross water. You can leave a rope with many knots; Jumbies will have to untie each one.
15. Italy- Italy has l’uomo Nero, a tall man with an unseen face, a heavy coat and a black hat. He hides under the table and parents knock on the table to warn their children that l’uomo Nero is present and will take them away if they don’t eat their dinner.
What is the origin of 'Boogeyman'? The bogeyman is less a mythic creature and more a folk loric monster created, most likely by parents who used this nonspecific creature to keep their children in bed and not out in the night playing unsupervised. The difference between mythology and folklore can be differentiated by the message of the tale and how that message endeavors to explain the phenomenon of life and the trials and tribulations that come with living. Mythology tends to be more religious in nature and offers life lessons to help the listener or reader of that myth better understand their own life.
Thus, most stories of the Old and New Testaments can be considered mythology, the stories and legends of the Greek and Roman gods can be considered mythology and even the tale of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars and any of the various comic book heroes such as Superman, Batman, Spiderman and Ironman can be counted among mythological tales. Folklore and urban legends on the other hand do not offer any life lesson and more intended to entertain by scaring or amusing the listener or reader. The legend of the bogeyman, also known as the boogeyman, boogyman, or bogyman has a vast and varied history, which is another way of saying that no one is quite certain when or where the legend of the bogeyman first began. As if often the case with folk lore, the origins of such stories are less important than the effect the tale has upon its listeners or readers.
Even the etymology of the word remains uncertain and may ultimately be derived from the Middle English word bugge which means frightening spectre. There are, however, words such as the German variation bogge, the Welsh word bwg, the Scottish/Gaelic word bocon and other such variations as boggart, boggy, and bubbear all of which refer to some sort of goblin or other horrifying monsters. The term bogeyman may also come from the Scottish word bogle which means ghost or hobgoblin dating back to the early 1500's and was popularized by 19th century English poets such as Sir Walter Scott and Robert Burns.
There also claims made that the word is a derivation of a popular name assigned to Napoleon Bonaparte by the British who called Napoleon boney and claimed that later evolved into boneyman. Whatever the veracity of this etymology, boney as a description of Napoleon was certainly used to scare children of that day. The term may have also began with the people of Indonesia from the word bugis which was a term ascribed to the pirates who preyed in the Straits of Malacca. It was, according to this theory of the etymology, European sailors who came across this word and the tales that came with it and took it back home and used the word bugisman to scare their children into behaving.
Yet there is even another source which described the bog men who supposedly lived in the peat bogs of English moors. The fear of these bog men was that they would come walking off the moors as zombie like monsters. In other cultures there is the bag man of Brazil called hombre de la bolsa or del saco, hombre de la costa, or the portuguese word homen do saco. The legend of del saco serves the same function of the bogeyman, which is to scare children and tells a tale of a bum or hobo who carries a sack on his back much like Santa Clause and steals children who have misbehaved to sell them on the black market. In Bulgaria the children are told the same tale only this monster is known as torbolan.
The French tell a similar tale only the creature is known as le croque mitaine, (the mitten biter). In Germany the bogey man is called Der Swartz Mann, (The Black Man), which is not a physical description of his skin color, but a description of his character and his proclivity towards hiding in dark places such as the closet or under the bed. The Greeks call him Babaulos, who also hides under beds. In Hungary the creature is known as mumus, and in the Netherlands, Boeman, Boezeman, Boezehappert, Jan Haak, Manetje met de Haak,and at least half a dozen other names. The story of the bogeyman is known throughout all of Europe and besides the countries all ready mentioned can be heard in Italy, Poland, Norway, Switzerland and Romainia, to name just a few.
The legend can also be found in the folk tales of Iran, Iraq, and India making any historical account of the origin of the bogeyman as hopeless the children who have misbehaved and now must face this mysterious and undefined creature who is prolific across the world.

Slender Man (a.k.a Slenderman) is a mythical creature often depicted as a tall, thin figure wearing a black suit and a blank face. According to the legend, he can stretch or shorten his arms at will and has tentacle-like appendages protruding from his back.
Depending on the interpretations of the myth, the creature may cause memory loss, insomnia, paranoia, coughing fits (nicknamed “slendersickness”), photograph/video distortions and can teleport at will. The urban legend has inspired fan arts, fictional creepypastas and a mockumentary series in the style of the 1999 indie horror film Blair Witch Project. As the character has grown in popularity, he’s gained a number of other nicknames including The Operator, Der Großmann, Mr. Slim, The Administrator, Daddy LongLegs, Mr. Thin, The Tall Man, The Thin Man and Slendy.
********************************************
On June 8th, 2009, a “’paranormal pictures” photoshop contest was launched on the Something Awful (SA) Forums. The contest required participants to turn ordinary photographs into creepy-looking images through digital manipulation and then pass them on as authentic photographs on a number of paranormal forums. Something Awful users soon began sharing their faux-paranormal creations with layered images of ghosts and other anomalies, usually accompanied by a fabricated witness account to make them more convincing.
On June 10th, SA user Victor Surge (real name Eric Knudsen) posted two black and white photographs of unnamed children with a short description of “Slender Man” as a mysterious creature who stalked children.
“We didn’t want to go, we didn’t want to kill them, but its persistent silence and outstretched arms horrified and comforted us at the same time…” – 1983, photographer unknown, presumed dead.
One of two recovered photographs from the Stirling City Library blaze. Notable for being taken the day which fourteen children vanished and for what is referred to as “The Slender Man”. Deformities cited as film defects by officials. Fire at library occurred one week later. Actual photograph confiscated as evidence. – 1986, photographer: Mary Thomas, missing since June 13th, 1986.
On June 11th, 2009, Victor Surge continued to improve upon the myth by adding another picture and a fake doctor’s account. The following day, SA user LeechCode5 posted a photograph of a burning building with a Slender Man back story. On June 14th, SA goon TrenchMaul reused the Slender Man character for his own story. The original thread, which still remains active today, extends for 46 pages as of June 2011.
Where did the legend of slender man come from? As far back as Ancient Egypt, even farther back than that maybe in the caveman times but there was no document of no such thing at that time; only in Ancient Egypt and Germany. In Ancient Egypt there is a symbol of a man with no face and multiple arms. It reminds me of The Gentleman from the episode "Hush" from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He is also called "Slendy" or "The Operator".
