9. TheKelpie
is asupernatural water horse from
Celtic folklore that is believed to haunt
the rivers and lochs of Scotland and
Ireland.
It is wise to keep away from them. If a
human climbs on the back of a water
horse, the horse will often dive into the
water and drown its rider. If a human
gains control over the horse it can be
put to work in fields.
Water Horses have the strength of ten
land horses and do not like to be
enslaved and will try every trick to
escape. The water horse then courts its
master for several years before it
consumes only the left leg and right
hand pinky finger of the victim.

10. AManananggal
is described as being an older, beautiful
woman capable of severing its upper
torso in order to fly into the night with
huge bat-like wings to prey on
unsuspecting, pregnant women in their
homes; using an elongated proboscis-
like tongue, it sucks the hearts of
fetuses or blood of an unsuspecting,
sleeping victim.
The severed lower torso is left standing
and it is said to be the more vulnerable
of the two halves. Sprinkling salt or
smearing crushed garlic or ash on top
of the standing torso is fatal to the
creature. The upper torso then would
not be able to rejoin and will die at
daybreak.
11. Tommy Knockers
are the spirits of departed miners that
help miners find ore. They also knock
on the walls of the mines right before a
cave-in. When you hear a Tommy
Knocker knocking, it's best to depart
the area right quick. They have saved
the life of many a miner who has been
in a danger. Some folks say that the
very first man to hear the sound is
jinxed, but that is not always the case.
It's important to stay on the good side
of the Tommy Knockers. Many miners
leave a bit of their lunch for the spirits,
and to please them, they fashion the
little clay figures of their spirits. The
Tommy Knockers can be spiteful
creatures if they don't like you.
