“One question that has always intrigued me is what happens to demonic beings when immigrants move from their homelands. Irish-Americans remember the fairies, Norwegian-Americans the nisser, Greek-Americans the vrykólakas, but only in relation to events remembered in the Old Country. When I once asked why such demons are not seen in America, my informants giggled confusedly and said “They’re scared to pass the ocean, it’s too far,” pointing out that Christ and the apostles never came to America. —Richard Dorson, “A Theory for American Folklore,”

“A boy can be two, three, four potential people, but a man is only one. He murders the others.”

“Mad woman on another tour;
Everything she is she spits out on the floor.
An old man tells me she's sicker than the rest.
God I've never been afraid like this.”
― Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves
