There's a folktale from an island culture where a mermaid - like female figure would spank fishermen who over - fished. She was seen as the protector of the sea's resources. Her spanking of the men was a symbolic act to stop them from being greedy and to remind them of their responsibility towards the ocean and its inhabitants.
In some European folklore, there are tales of the female woodland spirits. Sometimes, if a male human intruded into their territory or disrespected nature in some way, the female spirit would give him a spanking as a form of chastisement. It was a way to teach the man a lesson about respecting the natural world and the boundaries of the spirit realm.
One historical spanking men story could be from the military in the past. In some military academies, if a male cadet disobeyed a direct order or showed disrespect to a superior officer, he could be spanked as a form of punishment. This was seen as a way to instill discipline in a very hierarchical system.
I don't think the 'spanking machine story' is a widely known story in general. There are so many stories out there and this doesn't seem to be one of the mainstream ones that most people are familiar with.
Yes. There's a story about a cave on Ibiza. It was once used as a hiding place by smugglers. But over time, people started to say that if you enter the cave at midnight on a full moon, you'll hear the screams of those who were killed there by rival gangs. The echoes in the cave make it even more terrifying.
Yes. A famous story is about a woman named Jane. She was considered hysterical in the Victorian era. Her treatment included being placed in a sanatorium. There, she was given a routine of regular meals, early to bed and early to rise. The idea was to regulate her body's natural rhythms. After a few months, her so - called hysterical outbursts reduced.
No, it is not very well - known. It is a rather specialized and niche area of literature that only a small number of people may be aware of.
One is from 'The Exorcist'. Although the main character was a young girl, it's a well - known possession story. The girl's body was taken over by a demonic entity, and she exhibited terrifying behaviors. Her body contorted in unnatural ways, and she had a very different personality. It shows a female in a state of possession in a very extreme and horrifying way.
It often reflects the values, beliefs, and traditions of the community from that time. It can offer insights into their way of life and thinking.
There is a folktale from an Asian country. A spirit was said to be bound in a hidden cave by powerful magic ropes. If anyone dared to approach the cave at night, they could hear the spirit's cries and the rattling of the ropes. It was said that the spirit was bound there as a punishment for a great sin, and it was waiting for someone to release it so it could seek revenge. Legend has it that a young brave man once entered the cave but was so terrified by the sight of the bound spirit and the strange bondage that he ran out and never returned.
The most well - known story is probably about a family who checked in. At night, they heard circus music playing softly. They thought it was from outside, but when they looked out, there was no source. As they tried to go back to sleep, the music got louder and they could swear they saw clown - like figures dancing in the corner of their room. They left the motel immediately in fear.
Sure. When I was a kid, I took some cookies from the cookie jar without permission. My mom found out and spanked me right there in the kitchen. My siblings were there and they all laughed. I was so embarrassed that I ran to my room and cried for a while.
