This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I like to think that there were at least a few clever shamans who faked their own deaths and then returned from the afterlife.

Actually, that guy did die. You got fooled by the person pretending to be him.

After further reading, it's been posited that at least some vampire stories are about the wealthy upper class extraction of wealth from society.
