Monsters that Cry in the Woods In Quileute Legends, there is a legend about how Boulder Peak was made by K'wa'iti. It is a boundary marker between Quileute and Elwha Territories. Using piles of stones he created the boundary and when finished marked it as a wolf marks his territory. A monster lives in the woods of the Quileute Territory in Sol Duc. There he found a dark cave and made it his home using sticks and brush to hide the entrance. He is very large so he felt safe. On the Elwha side lives another monster, his refuge is not known to us and … [Read More...]

Hunt for the Skinwalker I was gripped with fear at what I was watching in the headlights of the car. At first it seemed to be a un-clothed man shrouded in some sort of an animal hide. A violent storm was raging and the rain was falling in buckets as I concentrated focusing my eyes in on the figure not ten feet in front of the car. There was a flash of light and what followed can only be described as 20 minutes of pure terror that left both myself and my vehicle in shambles, we both were a total wreak. There have been countless stories about … [Read More...]

“Steph, can you come down here, please?” My mom’s voice echoed up the stairs. “I’m coming.” I shouted back down. I took the steps two at a time. “What?” I asked her. She was sitting on the couch, legs crossed. My eye sight swept the room quickly, scanning for something I might have forgotten to do. I noticed Dad wasn’t in the room. “Where’s Dad?” I asked absent-mindedly. “He’s with Grandma.” She answered. “Okay? Is something wrong?” “Sit down, Stephenie.” Oh, no I thought to myself this isn’t good. “Your dad and I should have told you sooner.” she started … [Read More...]
I'm Team Jacob's Biggest Fan Twilight is my passion. I live, breathe, eat and sleep Twilight. It may sound weird, but I kinda wish I was becoming a vampire or werewolf.

I have read Twilight 6 times, New Moon 14 times, Eclipse 5 times and Breaking Dawn 3 times. If you couldn't tell, New Moon is my favorite! I am TOTALLY team Jacob. My friends tease me all the time because I like him so much! … [Read More...]

Vampires - Do we really see them as monsters? Vampires always fascinated us, it is an undeniable fact. And after the frenzy that the Twilight Saga has created, do you still wonder why? It's not so hard to guess. First of all, vampires are the only pretty monsters, don't we all agree. It's kind of hard to find an interest in fur-covered or rotten or simply rotten creatures (although werewolves have stepped up a notch lately and I am a big wolf fan myself). Myths, stories and legends, quileute or not, that talk about the world's most beautiful and … [Read More...]
