Law #2 

Necromancy🧟‍♀️🧟

In San Francisco, you can practice necromancy, or communicating with the dead by reanimating flesh, if you have a fortunetelling permit from the police department. California also has laws about becoming a licensed necromancer.

Law #3

Selling haunted houses πŸ‘»πŸš️

Most states follow a "buyer beware" approach and don't require sellers to disclose paranormal activity in their homes. However, some states do have laws that address this:

New York: The only state that requires some form of disclosure to prospective buyers. In the 1991 case of Stambovsky v. Ackley, a buyer sued the seller and realtor for not disclosing the house's ghostly reputation. The appeals court ruled that the house was haunted as a matter of law because of the widespread reports of its haunted status, and that the reputation would impair the property's value.

New Jersey: Sellers must truthfully tell a buyer if their property is haunted if asked.

Massachusetts and Minnesota: These states consider paranormal activity to be a "psychologically affected" attribute that doesn't need to be disclosed.

.......


Other states also have a supernatural “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” laws on the books. Mississippi, Florida, Texas, Maryland, and Georgia all say that a seller and/or his or her agent is not liable and doesn’t have to disclose a death on the property. It follows then, that they also have no obligation to disclose the presence of spirits.

Law #4 

Voodoo πŸ’€πŸ˜ˆ

In New Orleans, there are restrictions on the practice of Voodoo and the supernatural, including advertising for fortune telling to settle lovers' quarrels and bringing people together to effect marriages.

..........

Other Louisiana laws ..

 fortunetelling (chronology, phrenology, astrology, palmistry), telling or pretending to tell fortunes, either with cards, hands, water, letters or other methods is unlawful. But this doesn’t apply to medical science or to “any religious worship.” But Louisiana Voodoo is “a set of spiritual beliefs and practices developed from the traditions of the African diaspora in Louisiana.

Law #5

Witchcraft πŸ§ΉπŸ§™‍♀️

A Massachusetts law dating back to the early days of the state, and leading up to the  Salem witch trials.

The primary English law about witchcraft was the so-called Witchcraft Act of 1604, actually An Act against Conjuration, Witchcraft and Dealing with Evil and Wicked Spirits.

The law makes witchcraft felony. A witch convicted of a minor offense could be imprisoned for a year; a witch found guilty twice was sentenced to death....


Massachusetts witch laws were based on the English Witchcraft Act of 1604, which made witchcraft a felony. The laws were also influenced by the Puritans' religious beliefs, which were central to their legal system. In 1641, the Massachusetts Bay Colony's General Court established the Body of Liberties, the first legal code in New England, which included a law that made witchcraft the second capital crime in the colony. The law stated, "If any man or woman be a witch, that is, hath or consulteth with a familiar spirit, they shall be put to death". The law also included passages from the Bible, such as Exodus 22:18, Leviticus 20:27, and Deuteronomy 18:10-11. 

During the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, the accused could file defamation charges against their accusers, but they usually lost. Some accused people also admitted guilt to avoid execution, after being told they would receive mercy if they confessed. In 1693, the new Superior Court of Judicature began hearing the remaining witch trials, and the governor instructed the judges not to accept spectral evidence as proof of guilt. As a result, most of the remaining trials ended in acquittals, and the governor pardoned the rest

Russian Folktales:The Two Corpses 🧟🧟‍♂️

 



πŸ™‚Bonus post for this week πŸŽƒ
........

The Two Corpses
A soldier had obtained leave to go home on furlough -- to pray to the holy images, and to bow down before his parents. And as he was going his way, at a time when the sun had long set, and all was dark around, it chanced that he had to pass by a graveyard. Just then he heard that some one was running after him, and crying:

"Stop! You can't escape!"

He looked back and there was a corpse running and gnashing its teeth. The soldier sprang on one side with all his might to get away from it, caught sight of a little chapel, and bolted straight into it.

There wasn't a soul in the chapel, but stretched out on a table there lay another corpse, with tapers burning in front of it. The soldier hid himself in a corner, and remained there hardly knowing whether he was alive or dead, but waiting to see what would happen. Presently up ran the first corpse -- the one that had chased the soldier -- and dashed into the chapel. Thereupon one that was lying on the table jumped up, and cried to it:

"What hast thou come here for?"

"I've chased a soldier in here, so I'm going to eat him."

Come now, brother! He's run into my house. I shall eat him myself."

"No, I shall!"

"No, I shall!"

And they set to work fighting; the dust flew like anything. They'd have gone on fighting ever so much longer, only the cocks (Rooster's) began to crow. Then both the corpses fell lifeless to the ground, and the soldier went on his way homeward in peace, saying:

"Glory be to Thee. O Lord! I am saved from the wizards!"
