Crossroads | The Supernatural Borderlands

- Though a crossroad is simply a place where two or more roads meet, they have a lengthy history within stories of myth and legend. Since Ancient Greece, and maybe long before then, crossroads were seen as portals and borders of where two worlds met such as the natural and supernatural, mortal and immortal, even the living and the dead. This program will discuss some legends of the crossroads, from the Greek goddess Hecate, to the many superstitions surrounding ghosts, to the American legend of Robert Johnson's encounter with the Devil!

Another story about crossing roads are the lay lines. And where those lines cross is where supernatural activity is at its highest.
Yes. Truth
Right this is the lay lines that run through the nation (UK) through various points like channeling places etc There quite popular with Wicca belief etc I heard a story that they deliberately built churches and other buildings in these places.
Oh yes, Leylines thanks for pointing that out.
It happened in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. When Maurice and his horse: Philippe got lost in the woods, they found themselves at a crossroads. One is foggy and foreboding, and the other is clear and peaceful. Of course, Maurice chose the foggy path that led to the haunted castle of the Beast/Prince Adam.
Because of course he did.
When I hear "crossroads ", my first thought is always "Robert Johnson ". Glad to see you included him in this video! This was very interesting. Thanks!
Same. It's always interesting (and a tad eerie) to hear that story, no matter how much
Yes! That's just 2 hours north from me in Mississippi!
I might have to get some Robert Johnson records.
In Jamaica, there was the myth of the 3 legged horse that galloped the streets at nights. If you meet it on the streets after midnight, you have to reach a crossroad before it does or you will meet your untimely death. If you hear it coming before it sees you, you can always seek refuge in someone else's house, but the door must be locked before it passes by.
Whoa ❤
@@seattleraisedme did you like my story? I have lots more.
I bet Bob Marley kicked his butt
It was said the before Robert Johnson went to the Crossroads, he could not make it as a blues musician. He had no real talent to make it on. But after the Crossroads, overnight he totally changed, and had the talent to make it. I don't know the truth, but amongst the people that knew him, they all noticed the change.
In my country (Sri Lanka), most of old people believe cross roads as a place that demons and hungry ghosts (preta) reside. When an exorcism ceremony happens, the remains of the ceremony throws near a cross road.
Very interesting. I had no clue there was so much lore behind this.
Doing, Crossroads, Magical, as can be quite positive. If you want to let go of something you’re holding onto. Some thing that you need to work through or a trauma can stand in the cross roads. See the words out loud to let it go ask your guardians to help you and then what you do is start walking towards the direction that you want to go but don’t look back and just let it dissipate in the elements in the air to the stars or whatever you choose to visualize completely let it remove itself from your body and transformer transmute into elements of nature, positive way, but always look in your path of the direction you’re going don’t look back.
Crossroads can still be dangerous even with the curtain of mystique and legend drawn aside. A couple years back when I was driving to classes a speeding car narrowly missed the front end of my own. It was one of those roads you usually wouldn't take that goes through an urban neighborhood you see once then never encounter again in your normal life. It could've been fatal and to this day I remind myself to come to a full stop at any intersection and look both ways before I go.
I'm sure I've heard most of these stories at some point in my life, but I never consciously realized how folkloricly significant crossroads are until I saw it all put together like this. Cool stuff. I'll have to do some more reading into this lore.
Hu, just thought about crossroads the other week. Spooky.
Wish they would have done the lore where if you encounter someone at a crossroads 4 times then you are in the land of the dead because you have died
Crossroads have real power, it isn't just historical myths, legends, folklore and superstition. Every time I've attempted DMT while sitting in the middle of a crossroad, I've always encountered entities.
Some superstition holds that it was best to hang a criminal at a crossroads so that the spirit of the dead convict cannot find its way back to civilization and haunt those who executed the person in question.
Also, one of the most memorable expressions of reverence for the significance of crossroads is the Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony song, "Crossroads," which is one of the groups most famous and beloved songs.
I hear Crossroads & think "meet me at the crossroads so you won't be lonely"
Very cool video! Top shelf in every single way!✌️😎
Here in the Ozarks are a great number of stories.
If you travel the rural dirt roads of what was once known as the "Cullen Township" in middle Missouri. Once there seek a 3 way crossroads near a road side grave. Place a Mullen torch on each road, light them, and perform a ritual. It is said that you can make a request for change in your life, or even the world. It comes with a lesson. You will be made to understand fully what you ask for.
If you ask for money; you will be made to understand:Spiritually and emotionally; where that money came from. Some struggle to understand the lesson or refuse to. Careful asking for awareness.
Thought I would share a local vague legend. Blessed be to you and yours.
Seeing this video really cheered me up after I took a bad spill leaving my apartment this morning. My left foot caught the curb of a concrete pathway outside my building and I fell, scraping the heels of both my palms and bruising my right shoulder. The only thing that was more bruised than my body was my pride. 🤕
OW!!!! That's sounds bloody painful. It's funny how "small" things like scrapes & paper cuts, small splits in the corner of ur mouth - things that arent deep or need stitches kinda things - they're always the ones that bloody hurt & ache the most!!
Sending comfort hugs from a sympathizer (who also tends to hurt herself a lot 😂) from New Zealand (((((hugs)))))
@@MrsGump Thank you very much! To be honest, I've always wanted to explore countries in the Southern Hemisphere, in particular South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
@@elizabethcoen you'd love it! NZ is a gorgeous country & ppl are pretty friendly & easy going. Same for Australia, beautiful country & great people! Plus, I also hear our concretes not as hard on the palms 😉😆
@@MrsGump LOL, good one! 😆I guess the old saying is true, laughter is the best medicine.
My name is Travis. Meaning the toll collecter at the cross road. Im so fascinated with the mythology behind it😊
Ask Hekate which way to go.
It’s a no free will thing. Synchronicities guide the way.
A cross road always gives you 3 choices but choice is an illusion of the subconscious in spirituality.
There’s only 1 choice you were always going to make it. It’s just a lot simpler when you’re in flow 💚
There is always a fourth choice: to turn and go back the way you came.
@@wmdkittyYes, turn to back to Jesus and repent. He is the way, truth, and the life. Halleluyah!!
Great episode! I too immediately thought, "Robert Johnson"!🎸😈🔥
The crossroads is something I've been wanting content on. Thanks for covering this. Keep it up
The legends about crossroads always remind me of two things: offerings to orixás and other entities and werewolves.
Here in Brazil, some people practice Candomblé and Umbanda, which are religions derived from the Yorubá religion brought by the slave trade; in some rituals people make offerings for entities with the objective of gaining something (fame, fortune, luck, peace, list goes), and in some of these the offerings have to be made at a crossroad, specifically (usually the no good kind, if I remember right). I live near a crossroad so I see these a lot.
The other one is werewolves, more specifically the brazilian varitations of the myth. Here a werewolf is usually the unbaptised first male son after 7 daughters (on more rare versions also the 7th son of a 7th son), and after a certain birthday (I think it was 7th, but I'm not sure) the boy will start turning into a werewolf in full moon nights. To break the curse he has to either run through 7 cemiteries, 7 crossroads or both (sometimes it's both + 7 churches), all in a single night.
perfeccct timing,good night^^
Suicides were buried at crossroads so that they would be confused and wouldn't know which way to choose if they returned to haunt the living.
Another fantastic explanation on the paranormal, thank you brother 🙏
Cuban people put a dead chicken on a crossroads as a religious ritual. A religious tradition of African origin that was developed in Cuba and then spread throughout Latin America called Santeria (The way of the saints)
Nicely done! Can’t wait for the next one!
Where I live, there is only one crossroad. If you stand in the middle of it you are guaranteed to see the spirit world... mostly because it's a four lane road used by lorries and buses..😀👍
im at a crossroads aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
alright well i was just trying to learn a little about horus and i found this channel and its nice i like it i might put it on when im going to sleep and i hope u are having a great day
Robert Johnson's story even inspired and 80s movie named crossroads
Awesome and cool! ^_^😊
Nice.
Yet another fascinating video. 👍
I love this keep up the good work
Please make a video talking about giants.
I always remember being told if you bury someone's head at the crossroads there for ever lost It terrified me Lol
😊 could you do a mythology on the 27 club
🎶Meet me at the crossroads so you won't be lonelyyyyyy🎶
Nice one being from New Orleans and so close to the cross roads I. The delta Mississippi when one once sold his soul to the devil to play the guitar better than anyone before me and a few friends who go to see if we could make a deal as well
❤🤍💙 all your videos mate👍
I don't know if I ever heard of a crossroads legend local to my area I mean how do these crossroads get haunted anyway?
Fatal car crashes most likely.
The norse Valkyries are strong crossroads figures, they gather souls at battle….to Valhalla.
Right I've never heard of that Lad !? Sounds like a tune though Lol
👍🏼✨️✨️✨️✨️
I was actuelly waiting to cross a road(it was actuelly night),i saw a girl walk behind me,no noise for walking,and when i looked to the left?,im pretty sure she went to the left to the road but still on the sidewalk,she wasnt there/(I LOOKED,SHE WASNT WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK AWAY FROM THE CORNER SIDEWALK.),she did look like the buitiful european/spanish related type dark hair girl,20 years old,i think cloths that looked grey or dark/maybe a dark lether jacket.
Note=a car was following me befor or after this/a bike tried crashing me/im pretty sure i made a gang mad by walking into them/the poor city/no covid masks.
I did see a grave too in the city.
I dont know who.
Note=can hyper vigilence/being inside all the time/only be around toxic family do the hullicnations?
I did see a shadow person at night too.
And heard a wisper right in my ear say"senya."when playing the ps4.
(There was a evp on some1s phone for the shadow person/senya in the same house,i did watch a video for 1 hour but somehow only 30 minutes/or reverse on new years or a holiday/vetrigo too/same night when looking up at the stairs,i heard a floating elevator noise too another day,some1/1 dog heard it too/this is all in the house befor the girl on the sidewalk.)
Me family is really toxic too.
Right now i own 7soil crossroad inside a bottle i communicate with spirit any time i need.
If I were to choose any entity to meet at the crossroad, it would be the Money Cat, hands down. You mean to tell me that I get to capture and pamper a magical cat for a time? And get paid as a bonus?! As a cat mom, I would be absolutely thrilled! 😹😹😻😻
So this means the crossroads is in GoW bc how does he travel realms?
Where are the winchesters when you need them
haha just as i wondering they if there was some myth with the devil at the crossroad or was i confusing it with songs u answer my question
Money cat, interesting indeed
❤
Theres a cemetery a few cities away from where I live and theres a cemetery on one side, a park across from it, a house across from the park and then a field across the house 🤔
Many occult activities in hinduism are said to be done at the intersecting crossroad and are said to be infested with very powerful supernatural beings.. especially the desolate ones.
it's crazy how real the devil and how much he's scammed people through out history
❤❤❤❤❤
5:20 Pomerania is north of Germany. Or old world.

MY My my
We don’t believe in the crossroads superstition here in Australia so I’ve never heard of any.
✝️🇦🇺✝️
You sure bout that ? you could just have never heard of it
@@miguelatkinson yeah I’ve never heard of it. I suppose some people relish in americana but not me.
Uh, you do have, like, crossroads superstitions in Australia, which is, like, Aboriginal Australian + European + things that are unique to Australia. I can't give, like, specific examples right now, but they do exist.
