"Come in, come in, sit down - quick - close the door and find a place by the fire... Its so cold and dark out there, you must be frozen........ There, that's better..... Come a little closer..... I've a story to tell you, but I'm going to need your help to tell it"
There's a belief which exists in many Nordic countries that witches in remote villages steal cream from their neighbours with a Mjölkhare or Milkhare, a creature fashioned from the bodies of animals, heddles, bessoms and string - bought to life by the witch with her own blood...
I'm looking for the Milkhare. She has a tale to tell but I have to catch her first. Have you seen her? Can you help me stitch the pieces of this creature together and breathe life into a stop-motion short?
I'm looking for related stories, sightings, photographs or any avenue of the gothic, macabre or downright odd that you think is worthy of pursuit... Please feel free to join me on Facebook and in return I shall whisper twisted tales of the freakish and bizarre to you over the intrawebs...
