The Wyandot of Lake Ontario speak of the hooh-strah-dooh, an evil spirit that seeks out the bodies of the recently deceased. They reanimated the corpse and sought the living, devouring them ravenously. They had but one weakness: redbud repelled them. #FairyTaleTuesday

The shores of Lake Ontario, looking shallow with lilypads and fog, with dead trees on them and small islands with small trees on them with larger trees on the shoreline in the distance; it looks to be at dawn.

PINOCCHIO is frankly terrifying; he's set alight, enslaved to a puppet master, lynched by ruffians, swallowed by a fish, plunged alive into a boiling pot and nearly carried off by rabbit undertakers, before becoming a real boy. Illustrations by Folkyard 1914 edition #FairyTaleTuesday

In legend Frau Holle lives in a world at the bottom of a well, and causes snow to fall upon the Earth whenever she shakes her feather bed. Her character is based on the goddess of death & renewal, a weaver of fate & fortune, whose festival is held in mid-winter. #FairytaleTuesday

One of my favourite fairy tales is 'The Boy Who Drew Cats.' It is a Japanese tale about a boy who was compelled to draw cats everywhere. He initially got into trouble but his hobby paid off because one day the cats he drew saved him from a giant rat goblin. #FairyTaleTuesday #JapaneseFolklore 1/2

A young boy is crouched down painting a cat onto a screen on which many other cats are already painted. A lot of black paint is beside him.

According to a folktale from British Columbia's Haida People, there was once a pair of wolves that would swim out into the sea to hunt whales until one day when they were unable to find their way home through the fog. Lost at sea, they transformed into orcas. #FairyTaleTuesday 📷: Honza Reznik

Hans Christian Andersen’s "The Little Mermaid" was inspired by the novella Undine (1811), which tells the tale of a river spirit marrying a knight to gain an immortal soul. She gets pulled back into the river by her relatives, then returns to kill her husband for marrying another. #FairyTaleTuesday
