This does not mean though that all you hear from your grandparents have factual basis. Some of them are myths flowered by the practice and popular culture of their time.

Different countries have their own set of myths and legends. From the origins of their place up to the history of locals, they have always been associated with legends and stories that have been handed down from one generation to the next. Same can be said with the ever popular scary voodoo dolls.

They are famous accessories in some current horror films and are highly commended for their wide variation. Some see them as a bad omen while others find some good things hidden on these grotesque items. If you are interested about them, then the following common myths might help you have a fast idea on how other people see them.

Bringing bad luck to people. This is perhaps the most popular belief among all the things that are listed here. Voodoo dolls come in different forms but a lot of them have deformed faces and gruesome appeal. This gives off a feeling of negative vibes around those who see it. Its been said that those who first practiced witchcraft centuries ago use these dolls to ask for bad luck towards a target person.

Healing of illnesses happen. There is also that thing about these goods as cure for sickness. Of course, there aren't any solid proof for this, which is exactly why its dismissed as mere legend. The story goes like anyone who show trust in the healing powers of the doll will undoubtedly be driven away from the health issue that they are experiencing.

They may serve as vessels for souls. Who hasn't heard about reincarnation. Whether you look at legends, stories, and religion, this matter has always piqued the interest of many. To some, these dolls can house the souls of dead people.

Theyre used for killing people. Now before you walk out, lets once again clarify that this is just a myth. A doll cant kill you. But for entities who believe in supernatural stuff, these items can serve as your representation. For a clearer picture it goes like, when they stab the doll, they stab you.

Living entities of night. Lastly, there is this belief about the individuality of dolls. Its been said that they have lives of their own and only awakens during the night. They cannot do any harm during day time as this is considered as their dormant period. But once evening strikes, they can start hunting the residents of any place.

No matter how believable these stories may seem, its important to remember that they are all myths. Which means, there aren't any solid proof supporting those stories behind them. It can be entertaining to hear how different cultures portray this item. Just make sure you zap yourself back to reality when you find yourself believing it.
