Alsa Thompson
– America’s youngest serial killer? –
~ Well I Never ~

…a 17 minute video

“Alsa Thompson, a seven-year-old Los Angeles girl, became the center of a sensational 1925 case after allegedly attempting to poison the family she lived with and confessing to harming her younger sister and even killing her infant twin siblings years earlier. The supposed poisoning involved sulphuric acid and ant paste, though no one was seriously hurt. Her dramatic confessions shocked the public and led to intensive psychiatric evaluation, where doctors described her as mentally disturbed but not legally insane. Because of her age, she was not criminally tried; instead, she was placed under supervised psychiatric care. Historians later questioned the reliability of her confessions, leaving the case disputed and unresolved.” (well I never)

K is for Kamaitachi

The sickle weasel of Japan

Region/Culture: Japan, Asia
Mythos: Japanese Mythology (including Shinto and Yokai traditions)
Primary Type/Nature: Fairy Folk and Spirit Beings
Mythical Attributes: The Kamaitachi is a type of yōkai often described as a weasel-like creature with razor-sharp sickles for limbs.
Role in Mythos: Kamaitachi are often said to ride on gusts of wind to slash at unsuspecting humans, sometimes so quickly that the cuts are initially painless.
Relation to Humans: People are generally considered victims rather than allies or adversaries of Kamaitachi. The creature often cuts people with its sharp sickles, but it is also said to sometimes apply medicine to the wounds it inflicts, making it a complex figure in folklore.

“At first glance, the Kamaitachi might remind you of a weasel, an ordinary creature of nature. But the resemblance ends just about there. Imagine, if you will, not one but three weasel-like entities, each with razor-sharp sickles in place of limbs. These are not mere extensions of their bodies, but rather weapons fine-tuned to cut through the air and skin with equal ease. Carried on gusts of wind, the trio moves in such perfect unison that they seem to be a single entity. They are as ethereal as the wind itself, becoming corporeal just long enough to engage in their signature blend of mischief and mystery.
~ the Kamaitachi are not just wanderers; they have a role, a purpose that keeps them in perpetual motion
~ they are said to find unsuspecting humans and slash at them with their sickles. The strikes are so fast, so precisely executed, that the victim feels no pain—at least, not initially
~ the Kamaitachi aren’t purely malevolent; they possess a dichotomy as intriguing as their form. After inflicting their cuts, they’ve been known to apply a salve or medicine, almost as if regretful of their impulsive actions
~ this complexity defines their relationship with humans: we are neither allies nor adversaries but rather unwitting participants in their endless dance with the wind
~  riding the wind is not just their mode of transportation but also their cloak of invisibility, their strategic advantage
~ they are not without their weaknesses, they are creatures of the moment, existing in brief instances to interact with the world
– they lack long-term agendas or the ability to form deeper relationships with humans or other beings
~ a still day, without a gust of wind, keeps them earthbound and more visible to the human eye
