Over the years I have learned not to discredit most things that are deemed supernatural or the stuff of dreams, myths and legends.
Normally I'm a pretty fluffy chicken as far as reading about these types of things go (despite the fact that I live in a very nonordinary reality), but there are two books that (if you can get them) will make the little hairs on the back of your neck -- and everywhere else -- stand on end. Both nonfiction:
The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Career of Ed and Lorraine Warren by Gerald Daniel Brittle
The Serpent & The Rainbow: A Harvard Scientist's Astonishing Journey into the Secret Society of Haitian Voodoo, Zombis and Magic by Wade Davis
My path tends to be more NA than anything else, but I think you can find similar myths and legends in every culture. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
