VampirateMace
Internet Overlord
A place for discussion of Paranormal and Metaphysical phenomenon as well as Mythological and Magical beasts.
Are you a ghost hunter? Do you believe in Bigfoot? Do you think vampires are logically impossible? Have your revised the theory of human evolution to include fairies, werewolves, and/or gnomes? Are you afraid Slender Man is coming to get you?
If so, this might be the club for you.
Here members can discuss opinions, encounters, theories, and news related to the unexplained subjects of the world.

Our Society Mascot:
;479; Rotom ;479;
Early February 2012, Rotom was chosen as our society mascot. This ghostly orange pokemon with the power to posses electronics can be associated with Poltergeists and Gremlins.
Poltergeist, a word of German origin, means noisy ghost, and is usually used to refer to an unseen spirit which moves objects and makes knocking noises. Though some theories suggest that they aren’t ghosts at all, but the physical manifestations of unknowing psychic people’s frustrations.
Gremlin, a derivative of Goblin or gremian (to vex), refers to tiny and/or spirit creatures which damage electronics. Gremlins seem to have a particular interest in aircraft, and were first reported by British WW II pilots.
Some notable pop culture sources of Poltergeist and ghost Gremlin lore include;
Poltergeist (movies)
Ghost Master (video game)
Ghostbusters (movies, books, cartoons, & video games)
The Exorcist (movie)
Paranormal Activity (movies)
The Grudge (movie)
Danny Phantom (cartoon)

Rules:
1) All SPPF rules are to be followed
2) Only approved members may post, this is to prevent SPAM and a flood of ‘can I join’ posts. Do NOT post asking to join, please read the Membership Guidelines instead.
3) Please stay on topic, the occasional relevant joke is fine, but don’t SPAM us with a hundred jokes. This is a serious thread, so please save your RPGing for another thread.
4) Discussion of Religion or Politics in any manner that is meant to harm, harass, or discredit anyone is prohibited. Mentioning that such-and-such religion/government supports the theory/belief of -blank- is fine, so long as you don’t try to use it as ammo.
For example:
Allowed, “Many -blanks- believe in Angels.”
Not allowed, “Only idiots, like -blanks-, would believe in Angels.”
5) Rule breakers will be given 1 to 3 warnings (depending on the severity of their misbehavior) after which they will receive a temporary ban, or in more serious cases a permanent ban.
