The Dry Body

Mogi Guaçu, State of São Paulo, Brazil

Minha avó estava distribuindo flores no dia das mães na porta do cemitério da cidade como ela fazia todos os anos nessa data. Eram 18:00 e ela estava se preparando para ir embora quando de repente, viu uma criatura que parecia um homem pálido e rugoso em cima do muro do cemitério. A criatura parecia ter uma expressão triste e um aspecto meio sombrio. Ela afirma ser o Corpo Seco, lenda aqui da região na qual um homem que fazia muitas maldades quando estava vivo, não foi aceito nem pelo céu nem pelo inferno quando morreu, e foi condenado a vagar pelo mundo sem um rumo. Translated: My grandmother was distributing flowers on Mother's Day at the door of the city cemetery as she did every year on that date. It was 6:00 pm and she was getting ready to leave when suddenly, she saw a creature that looked like a pale, rugged man on top of the cemetery wall. The creature seemed to have a sad expression and a somewhat gloomy appearance. She claims to be the Dry Body, a legend here in the region in which a man who did many evil things when he was alive, was not accepted by either heaven or hell when he died, and was condemned to wander the world without a direction.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
