Dumbest Pumpkin | day 656

I don't think he is dumb.

He is just mistreated.

Same with all the other pumpkins if you think about it.

But don't think about it.

Vampire Bat | day 648

Today is vampire bat day. Also October is the bat apreciation month.

I really like bats.
I know they look like winged rats but they are very loving little creatures.
They are also the only mammal that can fly!

I did a little research on them (National Geoglaphic Kids - what did you expect?) and learned alot about them.
Like their size. They are about the size of a teacup with their wings closed.

So today's doodle is a vampire bat taking his bath in a huge teacup filled with blood.

I once saw a bat in person. It was amazing!
It was one of those things I'll probably remember all my life.
I don't think it was a vampire bat.
At least I hope it wasn't because I don't know where it would find it's food.

There are not many cows around where I live.

And I learned today that the maximum they can go without food is 2 days!

That's why when a mother gives birth for the first week or so the other bats provide her with food, until she is able to hunt again.

That's what their society is like.
Can you imagine what it would be like if we lived in a society like this?

If we really cared for each other and not just the immidiate closest to us?

That would be a life worth living! Twice!

Ghoul | day 647

I never knew Ghouls came from the arabian folklore.

They always seemed more "german-y" to me for some reason.

Also I never understood the R.I.P. deal.
"Our beloved auntie passed away. Let's not waste time in writing on her tombstone full words."

I don't like this doodle.

But it will do for today.

Also I forgot to mention that for this inktober I'm following the list Mab Graves created for her #mabsdrawlloweenclub 2017.
No reason for it. I just wanted to do something different for this October.

And it's halloween themed so what better way to sulk for 31 days straight for not celebrating it here.

..and yes I forgot to mention it for 9 days - what?

22 to go!

Aliens | day 646

I guess not everything is what it seems.

I have nothing to say about this.

Ectoplasm | day 645

Ectoplasm was the stuff that came out of physical mediums' noses, mouths or ears during seances.

It was made from cheesecloth or other similar fabrics in most cases.

Usually it formed faces or hands, but in some occasions it was just that - a long piece of some sort of cloth that was draping down from one of the medium's holes.

Later they evolved it to gelatinus substances made from eggs, butter and potato starch and sometimes even plastic that was swallowed by the medium previous to the seance and was later barfed up slowly (and probably very painfully) in front of the paying customer.

It was said by the believers to be formed from a liquid that existed in the human body and - in the case of a medium - it could be extracted to take the form of the ghost that they were in contact with during a seance.

The medium was often blindfolded and the seance took place in a very dark room because it was believed thet any form of light would disintegrade the ectoplasm.

Science proved it a hoax and we never bothered investigating again.

I tried looking it up to see if there are people still doing it today but didn't find anything.

I think if something like that happened in front of me I would be amazed (although that wasn't the reason I looked it up, I probably wouldn't pay for something like this).
I would of course not believe it 100% but I think there is apart of me that would have doubts.

I'd like to be able to believe in some sort of paranormal existence.
I think it would be conforting for most of us.
Heck most of us do believe!

meh
