Most of you may already have heard the legend of the headless horseman, riding in the dead of night tormenting villages around the countryside. What you may not know is that this legend is one of history's biggest misconceptions, solely due to a clerical error. The villagers were notoriously awful spellers, especially in regard to compound words. Were they one word or two? When, if ever, were hyphens appropriate? This resulted in all the written accounts referring to him as the headless horseman, and not, as would have been correct, the headless horse man. So you can imagine peoples disappointment when he showed up with his head still firmly attached to his neck. The headless horse man has since gone into hiding, too embarrassed to show his face. In order for him to live up to his own legend he would have to remove his own head, which he understandably is still putting off.

Of all the horrible poltergeists and ghosts that torment people in their homes, Mittens is probably the least scary of the bunch. Mittens left this world too early due to a hit and run. He haunts his victims with gentle meows, soothing purring and sometimes, if he is feeling extra naughty, he will take a nap. There are packs of crayons scarier than this spectre.

23. Doggodusa It’s a common misconception that there are only three gorgon sisters; Medusa, Stheno and Euryale. Not many have heard of the youngest in the family, Doggodusa. Unlike her sisters who have snakes for hair, Doggodusa has puppies. The puppies are not venomous, and they will not turn you into stone if you look at them. Though not as traditionally fearsome as her sisters, eating around her is virtually torture, what with all the puppies on her head looking at you with begging eyes. Unfortunately for the ferocious Doggodusa, this does not exempt her from living in the shadow of her famous gorgon sisters.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!! 🎃🎃🎃

27. Lord Can’t Be Bothered He could have been the greatest warlord in history. He was born with the power to crumble nations in the blink of an eye, make the greatest of warriors whimper in his presence and make the birds fall from the skies at the flick of the wrist. His name would have been feared throughout the world, that is, if he could only ever have bothered with the effort. As the name implies, Lord Can't Be Bothered is notoriously “over it” and downright lazy. One can only imagine the state the world would be in if he could ever be bothered to drag his ass out of his throne to make a name for himself. Spoilers, he won't...

15. Stock the Ripper With the precision of a surgeon, Stock the Ripper will use his claw-like hand to tear his victims stockings when they quite frankly don’t need it. He loves the smell of distress and anguish from people finding runs in their stockings after ever so carefully putting them on. Stock the Ripper is a tiny bastard of a creature who travels the world looking for new victims. He is most active during holidays such as Halloween and New Years eve, or right before that job interview. His name is shrouded in mystery, and since his victims tend to blame the runs in the stockings on wonky zippers or jagged toenails, much is yet to be learned about him. Fortunately, I haven't encountered this one to often ^^

9. The Carecrow The amorous Carecrow is considered a farmer’s worst nightmare, attracting crows from far and wide. His life started out as any other scarecrow’s: Alone in a field, dressed in old rags, with the sole purpose of protecting the crops from menacing birds, which he was never any good at. But one fateful day it would all change, when he was shat upon by a radioactive crow, and came to life. Owing the crows his life, he has dedicated himself to showing them his appreciation ever since. He now travels from field to field, kissing and petting crows wherever he goes. One could say he’s a lover, not a frighter.

Günther is probably the most disturbing being on this list. He is always wearing some outlandish costume, while his fingers seem forever locked in that creepy-guy position. He speaks in an accent no one recognizes, and can he even get through one conversation without licking his lips? Günther may appear human, but don’t let his looks deceive you: He is a sinister creature who thrives on making his victims feel uncomfortable. And he does it oh so well. He is that person who can make everyone in the room feel uneasy just by standing there. He is one of those people that, when you look over, is always staring intensely back at you. And he is always, ALWAYS, making unwanted sexual advances towards those who come close to him. The worst part? He gets away with it, as people are unsure whether he is a total creep or just a tourist with “exotic” ways of socializing.
