Questions

the idea is simple were gonna ask ourselves 1 question a week in paranormal stuff and we're gonna discus to find an answer ....

for the first question I've wondered for a few minuets ....

why are black cats thought to be a curse , a bad omen or witch's familures ....

A black cat is black with florecent green eyes. First the color black is associated with night. Night is associated with unknown and strange happenings since human beings walk in the day. Then there is the green eyes. This feature pops out because it is so inherantly differeent from any other animal. Nothing has such strinking eyes as a black cat, and thus it is different, thus we are afraid. Btw this is all just speculation. Good idea with the paranormal threads.

During the middle ages it was thought that Black Cats were used as familiars. Black cats were chosen because they were harder to see in the night when the witch would use them to conduct evil schemes.

Also, there are some cultures where the Black Cat is an omen of good luck.


I'm not sure why cats are linked to the spiritual world though, seems to come up alo in different cultures.

I agree ... but the statement that people walk only in the day is quite false .... I myself walk at night and I see everything fine ....

what i mean is we are not nocturnal, i just forgot the word which means the oposite of nocturnal. Being day walkers, we have a natural inclination to shun the strange happenings in the night.

true true though the words day walker is kinda cool ....

The word you're looking for is "diurnal" I belive. I like the idea of this thread, waiting on the next question~

I blame Poe.
