Gyppo has the dt's? Who'da thunk?

Does this mean that Josh is going to sleep through the investigation?

Well, the creature has to have a lair somewhere…I think they are going to need some sort of bait, though, unless there are local legends as to where the creatures hang out during the daytime hours.

I'll just say that the term "Succubus" appears to have been very loosely applied or even misapplied in this case. In fact, a search for the Aisha name and a search for the Aisha name with the word Succubus added brings up two very different numbers, the latter being about 1% the original total or less, and a good chunk of those are in reference to DT.

Sound of Chains. There were Dogs. Ummm, anyone want to do the 2+2 here?

The first part of the episode on the Island…Josh losing it. You don't suppose that great mixture he drank with the chief kinda just sorta backed up on him do you? ie, something completely natural…normal…nonparanormal…

I think that the Harpies of Greek Mythology were pretty much physical beings as well…the beauty aspect, though. No, I don't recall that from the myths! Course, I didn't see a lot of beauty in that creature they rendered at the beginning of the episode, either.

Ghaleon said:

Some media such as God Of War kind of skewers what we think of the Harpy by making them grotesque and just plain ugly. But. like Revenant pointed out, in other formats it is a thing of beauty that is very deadly.

You should probably go all the way back to the origins. God of War (I will confess to ignorance on that…a game?) is quite right. The Harpyiae were NOT things of beauty. Quite the opposite, in fact.

From my Lempriere's from 1788:

Winged monsters, who were represented as having the face of a woman, and the body of a vulture, and with their feet and fingers armed with sharp claws. They were three in number, Aello, Ocypete, and Celaeno, and were the daughters of Neptune and Terra, or, according to others, of Thaumas and Electra. They were sent by Juno to plunder the tables of Phineus, whence they were driven to the islands called Stophades by Zethes and Calais. They emitted an infectious smell, and spoiled whatever they touched by their filth and excrements. They plundered Aeneas during his voyage towards Italy, and predicted many of the calamities which attended him.

The Aeneid talks also of them, as do some Greek myths where they are described as ugly, hideous, monsters, etc.

Hadn't read the wowwiki before. If you strip out the stuff about elves etc and the places obviously thrown in for the game, the essence remaining is not too far off from the Classical "Harpy" A bit modernized, as Rev says, but still holding some of the traditional qualities.

Or from Dante (flows much more elegantly in the original):

Quivi le brutte Arpie lor nidi fanno,
che cacciar de la Strofade i Troiani
con tristo annunzio de futuro danno

Fortunately 13th century Italian is not too difficult to translate :) so:

Here the ugly Harpies their nests make,
Who chased from the Strophades the Trojans
With wicked announcements of future damnation.

Welcome to the site Carrie. I, myself, won't totally rule out the possibility of their existence, but I would say that the possibility that their existence is going to be proven by any of these groups on TV is down there pretty low. Ratings run the television business, and excitement and drama make for good ratings; thus facts and science are often casualties.

There have been some "odd" things that they have done that have raised eyebrows (relying on J&G as experts is one of them lol) I think part of what you feel might come from the fact that they have yet, to my knowledge, declared a place haunted (to use a GH analogy) What I mean is that they have explained a few creatures as normal, or as tourist attractions, and the others, they come out and say they don't know. I appreciate that in them, although at the same time we've seen some things that just "aren't right" too.
