Level 6 · 7 mo agoThe iron scissors detail is accurate. Archaeologists actually found those burials with metal on top mate.

Level 6 · 7 mo agoThey don’t turn into owls or dogs though? I’m from Sweden and Mylings are strictly the ghosts of unburied children that grow heavy. Stop adding random animal shapeshifting to make it sound cooler!!!
