(Mantraon) Superstitious Buddhist monks crossing a dangerous bridge: deep Tibetan chant of Om mani padme hum for calm and nervous system reset with help of internet slop
Trolls and a princess (John Bauer)
A bridge troll is a being in Nordic folklore, including Norse mythology. In Old Norse sources, beings described as "trolls" dwell in isolated areas of mountains, rocks, and caves, live together in small family units, and are rarely helpful to human beings.
In later Scandinavian folklore, trolls became beings in their own right, where they live far from human habitation, are not Christianized and brought to heel (like Zionist Hillary Clinton might like), and are considered dangerous to human beings.

TROLLS IN BUDDHISM: A kumbhāṇḍa (Sanskrit) or kumbhaṇḍa (Pāli) is one of a group of dwarfish, trollish, misshapen spirits among the lesser unseen beings in Buddhist cosmology and mythology [1, 2]. Kumbhāṇḍa was a dialectal form for "gourd." Due to their large scrotums or stomachs, they got their name from the resemblance. Kumbhāṇḍa may be interpreted as "pot-egg" since kumbha ("pot," like the world's largest festival, the Kumbha Mela about a pot/jar that spilled the "nectar of the gods," the amrita or ambrosia of immortality, on a few spots in India) and "egg"(anda). This was a common euphemism for "testicle." Kumbhāṇḍas had testicles "as large as pots" [1]. The terms kumbhāṇḍa (dwarf or troll) and yakṣa (ogre, Sasquatch, female yaksha = yakshi or Yeti) are sometimes used for the same creature. Yakṣa (Pali yakkha) in this case is the more general term and includes a variety of lower woodland or for the most part unseen beings inhabiting wilderness areas. More

WHAT KIND OF KARMA? In slang, an internet troll is a person who posts deliberately offensive or provocative messages online [1] (such as on social media, forums, chat rooms, or online video games) or performs similar behaviors offline. The methods and motivations of these subhuman trolls can range from benign to sadistic. These messages can be inflammatory, insincere, digressive [2], extraneous, or off-topic, and may have the intent of provoking others into displaying emotional responses [3], or manipulating others' perceptions, thus acting as a bully or a provocateur. The behavior is typically for the troll's amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival's online activities or purposefully causing confusion or harm to other people [4]. Trolling behaviors involve tactical aggression to incite emotional responses, which can adversely affect the target's well-being [5]. In this context, the noun and the verb forms of "troll" are frequently associated with internet discourse. Since at least the 2010s, media attention has equated trolling with online harassment. The Courier-Mail and The Today Show have used "troll" to mean "a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families" [6, 7]. In addition, depictions of trolling have been included in popular fictional works, such as the HBO television program The Newsroom, in which a main character encounters harassing persons online and tries to infiltrate their circles by posting negative sexual comments [8]. More
Depending on the source, their appearance varies greatly; trolls may be ugly and slow-witted or look and behave exactly like human beings, with no particularly grotesque characteristic about them.
In Scandinavian folklore, trolls are sometimes associated with particular landmarks like bridges (sometimes said to have been formed by a troll having been exposed to sunlight).
Trolls are depicted in a variety of media in modern popular culture.
Etymology (word origin)
Jotunn, dwarf, troll, in Scandinavian lore
The Old Norse nouns troll and trǫll are variously defined as "fiend, demon, werewolf, jötunn," like the Middle High German troll, trolle, "fiend."
According to philologist Vladimir Orel, the word is likely borrowed from Old Norse, possibly developed from Proto-Germanic neuter noun *trullan, meaning "to tread, step on" [tromp, stomp, stamp]. The origin of the Proto-Germanic word is unknown [1]. Additionally, the Old Norse verb trylla means "to enchant..." More
Archaeologist Armand Salvador Mijares was digging in this island cave in 2007 when he discovered an ancient bone unlike a modern human's (Callao Cave Archaeology Project).

Ancient bones and teeth found in a Philippine cave may rewrite human history
The realm of the Mountain King (Edvard Grieg)
An unusual species of human [Hobbit?] apparently lived on the island of Luzon in the Philippines as recently as 50,000 years ago.
Based on teeth and bones found there, scientists suspect that these early humans probably stood less than 4 feet tall and had several apelike features.
Yet, the researchers say, the bones are distinctlyhuman -- from a previously undiscovered species.
The first clue was a bone that surfaced in 2007. Archaeologist Armand Salvador Mijares was digging in a cave on the island of Luzon and found a toe bone.
He says it didn't look like a modern human bone. "There's something peculiar with this bone," he recalls thinking. But one bone wasn't enough to say for sure who or what it belonged to. More

WARNING: Confused ramblings about the ineffable sprinkled with cussing and speculation.
This is my best attempt to explain what the "machine elves" [shapeshifters who figure into abductions around Mt. Shasta as reported by David Paulides in Missing 411, pretas, kumbandhas, yakkhas, nagas, devas, asuras, rakshasas, demons, angels, tricksters, pranksters, fairies, wee folk, goblins, Grays, inorganic little green men, androids, short robots controlled by tall Nordics...?] told me on DMT, and I speculate what they are. [NOTE: Interesting in both accounts is reference to dead ancestors, shapeshifting pretas, made visible again. The "vine of the dead" or "vine of the souls" is one of the key ingredients in ayahuasca(caapi, yage, natema, harmaline), the active ingredient of which is DMT.]

(Kurt Cumming) I have no idea how this [video] was recommended to me, but I'm so glad I clicked it. (All today of research and now I'm back). I've had a bit of a rough patch. Both parents passing away and some other stuff, but recently trying to move forward, and now I believe DMT could be an answer.. Would love to know if you think it could help? Cheers, buddy.
(Vault Boy) The entities you speak of are the collective life of all there is. Another name for it is "Source" or all together "GOD" [Hinduism's Brahman]. We are all connected to this source, and we are all one. They are our ancestors but also more. They are also YOU, and YOU are them including all those reading this. When they say you can do anything, they are correct, because we create our own reality. That is how they control everything, because we as individuals are all connected. We control everything through creation and our co-creation relationship. Through our focused thought, our vibration (indicated by how we FEEL but not the feelings from drugs), and our belief and expectations, these combine in such a way that we create our own reality. And this is 100% because I have used this formula to shift and change things, and it's why [Isaiah effect] prayers come true! I am a witness, and I know the truth. And I fully accept 100% responsibility for everything in my life. And after I learned about all of this [The Secret stuff] in depth from my teacher, I will share the last thing he said after sharing it with me: "May you never be the same!"
(Richard Bruce) Friend, you need to realize these are demons, which live to deceive. They live in all of us, and if you lack the knowledge of God's word they will fully misdirect you into [self-]destruction. "Anything you want" sounds so great, but it is not, friend. At least look into it. I have captured parts of their true form on video, and when you see them you will realize these are not benevolent entities.
Elves, Ghosts (spirits of the departed), Sea Monsters, Extraterrestrials (fairies, devas, the hidden folk or huldufolk) in Iceland: Investigation into the Invisible World
Our "mythologies" are real, more real than our ordinary corporate state nonsense. But we have been taught the opposite. Only the state is real; everything else is a big fairytale.
There are unknown lands (terra incognita) on earth right next to known lands -- lands, that is, we are told about.
And in these lands, to this day, there are "giants" and others, ogres, hidden people (huldufolk), unseen beings, spirits, shapeshifters.
They need not be scary. They walk around us. It is nothing new. Poets, seers, literary folk have been writing about them for millennia. What a shock that they were talking about something real, which we had been convinced was just "childish" nonsense to outgrow.
Fairies (bhumi-devas) and ogres are real? (Beauty and the Beast by Anne Anderson)
My ears? What about them? We have remained hidden for good reason. Children see us.
Engraving showing a man jumping after a woman (elf) into a
precipice. It is an illustration to the Icelandic legend of Hildur, the
Queen of the Elves (George Pearson/Icelandic Legends: Collected by Jón Arnason: Translated by George E. J. Powell and Eiríkur Magnússon, Richard Bentley, London, 1864. This illustration faces p.88).
Since the beginning of time, elves have been the stuff of legend in Iceland, but locals here will earnestly tell you that elves appear regularly to those who know how to see them.
Construction sites have been moved so as not to disturb the elves, and fishermen have refused to put out to sea because of their warnings: here in Iceland, these creatures are a part of everyday life.But, honestly, do they really exist?
Anthropologist Magnus Skarphedinsson has spent decades collecting witness accounts, and he’s convinced the answer is yes.
He now passes on his knowledge to curious crowds as the headmaster of Reykjavik’s Elf School.
“There is no doubt that they exist!” exclaims the stout 60-year-old as he addresses his “students,” for the most part tourists fascinated by Icelanders’ belief in elves.
What is an elf?
Time is not the same in parallel worlds. Man dances with fairies for an hour, but in human time he was in the fairy ring for two weeks, in a strange case reported in Welsh folklore (T. H. Thomas, Plucked from the Fairy Circle).
.
Our language comes from hidden people.
What exactly is an elf? A well-intentioned being, smaller than a person, who lives outdoors and normally does not talk. They are not to be confused with Iceland’s “hidden people,” who resemble humans and almost all of whom speak Icelandic.
To convince skeptics that this is not just a myth, Skarphedinsson relays two “witness accounts,” spinning the tales as an accomplished storyteller.
The first tells of a woman who knew a fisherman who was able to see elves who would also go out to sea to fish.
"Hidden People" speaking Icelandic: devas?
One morning in February 1921, he noticed they were not heading out to sea, and he tried to convince the other fishermen not to go out either. But the boss would not let them stay on shore.
That day, there was an unusually violent storm in the North Atlantic. But the fishermen, who had heeded his warning and stayed closed to shore, all returned home safe and sound.
Seven years later, in June 1928, the elves again did not put out to sea which was confusing because there had never been a fierce storm at sea at that time of year. Forced to head out, they sailed waters that were calm but caught very few fish.
“The elves knew it,” the anthropologist claims.
The other “witness” is a woman in her eighties, who in 2002 ran into a young teen who claimed to know her. Asking him where they had met, he gave her an address where she had lived 53 years ago where her daughter claimed she had played with an invisible boy.
“But, Mum, it’s Maggi!” exclaimed the daughter when her mother described the teen.
“He had aged fives times slower than a human being,” said Skarphedinsson.
Surveys suggest about half of Icelanders believe in elves.
“Most people say they heard [about them] from their grandparents when they were children,” said Michael Herdon, a 29-year-old American tourist attending Elf School.
Iceland Magazine says ethnologists have noted it is rare for an Icelander to really truly believe in elves. But getting them to admit it is tricky. ... More
This very odd creature was seen in an office in Mexico City in January 2016. Trained biologist Brien Foerster has had a hard time thinking it fake. More: lamarzulli.net
.
Body of bizarre winged humanoid found
That's one of the bad ones.
A group of paranormal researchers are attempting to determine the nature and origins of a strange winged creature [Latin American/Iberian duende, Filipino duwende, or Buddhist kumbhanda?] discovered in Mexico.
The tiny oddity boasts what appears to be a humanoid body along with a set of wings, causing some to suggest that it could be a fairy or an alien [or a goblin or elf judging by the head and vicious teeth].
Brien Foerster says that he spotted the bizarre creature floating in a specimen jar at an office in Mexico back in January.
Since then, it has been subjected to X-ray and DNA analysis, which showed that the organic form contains an inner skeleton [and buckshot indicating that it was shot out of the sky and killed by a human].
In the video, which unveiled the creature, author L.A. Marzulli speaks with a man who appears to be the scientist who conducted the tests.
They conclude that the oddity could not be a hoax because the X-ray scan would have revealed it as such if it were a doll or some other fabrication.
Buddhist "fairy" = Earth devi.
In light of the bone structure found inside the creature, researchers hope to extract and analyze DNA from it to learn more about what it might be. [The first test was inconclusive because it had sat too long in formaldehyde].
Despite the fantastic nature of the creature, it would be best to exercise caution before leaping to a paranormal conclusion, since a number of previous "alien bodies" have been disproved in the past.
Nonetheless, it is hoped that future tests on the mysterious discovery will show whether it has a terrestrial or extraterrestrial origin. More
KTLA Channel 5 News anchors Chris Schauble and Megan Henderson dive under their Hollywood prop desk when a 4.4-4.7 earthquake rumbles through Los Angeles. Then to add insult to injury, safety-minded Schauble is mocked mercilessly by his children when he gets home.
A large quake struck Los Angeles at 6:25 am on March 17, 2014 just as St. Paddy's Day celebrations were being prepared for throughout the city. While earthquakes are happening everyday, California has recently been struck by a large offshore temblor (a 6.8 or 6.9) and many minor aftershocks. This was only a 4.7 centered near Westwood, site of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) campus. [The Shamrock Shake has now been downgraded to 4.4 and relocated closer to Encino. But the sort of scale still in use to measure seismic activity during monster movements is more misleading than a leprechaun's charm! A 7.0 is 10 times more powerful than a 6.0, for example.] See more from the US Geological Survey stationed in Pasadena at Caltech: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes

A woman and three children claim to be possessed by demons. A 9-year-old boy walks backward up a wall in the presence of [two official eyewitnesses,] a family [Department of Child Services] case manager and [a registered] hospital nurse.
Gary police Capt. Charles Austin said it was the strangest story he had ever heard.

Officer Austin, a 36-year veteran of the Gary Police Department, said he initially thought Indianapolis resident Latoya Ammons and her family concocted an elaborate tale as a way to make money. But after several visits to their home and interviews with witnesses, Austin said simply, "I am a believer."
Siddhartha faced Mara (a "devil") and "demons" (yakkhas) under the Bodhi tree.
Not everyone involved with the family was inclined to believe its incredible story. And many readers will find Ammons' supernatural claims impossible to accept.
Inside haunted house (Gary Police Dept.)
But whatever the cause of the creepy occurrences that befell the family -- whether they were seized by a systematic delusion or demonic possession -- it led to one of the most unusual cases ever handled by the Department of Child Services (DCS). Many of the events are detailed in nearly 800 pages of official records obtained by The Indianapolis Star and recounted in more than a dozen interviews with police, DCS personnel, psychologists, family members, and a Catholic priest.
Brown Lady ghost (answers.com)
Ms. Ammons, who swears by her story, has been unusually open. While she spoke on condition her children not be interviewed or named, she signed releases letting The Star review medical, psychological, and official records that are not open to the public -- and that are not always flattering.
Furthermore, the family's story is made only more bizarre because it involves a DCS intervention, a string of psychological evaluations, a police investigation and, ultimately, a series of exorcisms. It's a tale, they say, that started with flies. More

Ancient Greece, and therefore what we call the "West," inherited its mythology from India
Ancient Greek "Pan"
A kumbhāṇḍa (Pāli kumbhaṇḍa) is one of a group of dwarfish, misshapen "spirits," shapeshiftinggoblins, gnomes, duendes, cretins, poltergeists, among the lesser earthbound forest entities of Buddhist cosmology and Indian mythology.
Kumbhāṇḍa
was a dialectal form for "gourd," who may have gotten their name from being
thought to resemble gourds in some way, for example in having big stomachs.
But kumbhāṇḍacan also be interpreted as "pot-egg" -- "pot" (kumbh ) and "egg" (aṇḍa), egg being a common euphemism for "testicle." These creatures were imagined as having testicles "as big as pots," much as salacious Pan is portrayed as constantly erect phallus.
The terms kumbhāṇḍa and yakṣa ("demon," "ogre") are sometimes used for the same creatre,yakṣa(Pali, yakkha) in these cases is the more general term, including a variety of shapeshifting entities.
Kumbhāṇḍas are classed as earthlings subordinate to one of the Four Great Sky Kings (cāturmahārājikakāyikadevas), namely the Regent Virūḷhaka, Guardian of the South. One of the chiefs of the kumbhāṇḍas is called Kumbhīra.

A
family from Nketa 7 suburb dumped its tenant's "goblin" at the
Tshabalala Police Station, sending cops fleeing in different directions.
The incident occurred at about 8:00 pm on Wednesday.
A family that claimed a lodger owned the goblin [kumbandha, duende] brought it to the station in a suitcase.
"We heard some screaming from the charge office and most officers who
had knocked off rushed to see what was happening. At first everyone
gathered around the suitcase, wanting to see what was inside," said a
cop.
The officer said a traditional healer who had come with the family
opened the suitcase and a weird looking creature jumped out of a bottle
that was filled with blood.
"No one told anyone it was time to run. One minute,
the charge office was full, the next, it was empty. I think some people
went out through the windows because we could not all have fitted
through the door. Fat cops and slim cops all ran for their lives
screaming," said the cop.More
