Topic Research: Supernatural Beings

Supernatural Beings

For my research project I wanted to do a journal of a cryptid hunter that is taking notes on supernatural beings from our stories. This journal I had decided to focus on two supernatural beings from stories I have read. I would want to make a journal entry based on awakening Kumbhakarna, the giant, I can get a lot of info for a journal entry. One of the stories, Pot-Ear's Awakening, is all about waking up the sleeping giant.

I also want to write about the rakshasas, what is cryptid hunting without a man-eating creature. In this part of the journal I would want to talk about what separates this creature from other man-eating creatures from other mythologies. I would want to write about what makes this creature different and key traits of the  rakshasas. I would use the chapters from the ramayana, the public domain edition, as the main information to base my storybook on.
