The Man Who Cursed The Rain

He was always paranoid and locked the mansion every time it rained, especially the windows.

Two months later, the governor went out to his holiday home, which had no blinds or curtains. On the first night he was there, it began to rain again. Being paranoid, he went for the curtains, but since there were none, he had to sleep with them open. It wasn't too much trouble, until the clock struck twelve. The governor woke up in a cold sweat, he thought he heard thunder, but it wasn't stormy, and when he looked out his window, he was scared out of his wits.

Standing there, on the windowsill, was the very same man he had seen during that three day flood. He wrote in his journal 'I could see his face now, the man was clearly sick, his lips were blue and his skin was pale and incredibly cold-looking, his hair was wispy and black, like someone had upturned an ink bottle over his face, but his eyes, that was what terrified me the most, they were like two lanterns, perfect circles, far too wide open for normal eyes, I looked at them and they seemed to make everything go dark'.

The governor hid in the study for the rest of that night and left soon after. He died naturally, but was still haunted by his fear of the rain man I found the ending quite funny, a nice way to finish off a story, but I was still intrigued somewhat. I'm not gullible, but I do like the odd scary story, so I decided to look in my Psychic Encyclopedia's for anything relating to the story of the "rain man. In the 's there were reports all around central Europe of a man in the rain. Usually, this would be considered fairly normal, if not for his unmoving stature.

He wears drab clothes that are usually hard to identify beyond a long dust coat and pants. He is described to have the appearance of a balding man with dark coloured hair, white skin and distinct eyes.

The Man Who Cursed the Rain

Most reports claim them to be unnaturally large, like headlights with cat-like pupils or no pupils and irises at all. In occult history, the rain man is said to move with the rainclouds, giving them feeling, like an Avatar. During World War I, a German infantry division was in the midst of a muddy firefight. The firefight had been intermittent, lasting several days, rain had been pouring down frequently, filling the trenches. The soldier wrote in his journal:. Usually, I'd think that that was pretty neat, how that father managed to make an interesting story off of that information.

But there was no mention of the governor story, so I assumed it was fabricated. I decided to research the Rain Man further, on the Internet. I got little more than a movie starring Tom Cruise of the same name which I had watched previously and a paragraph-long story on Tumblr which had hardly any relevance, and even less grammar, than the Rain Man I was researching. I went on to search for some images or videos of the Rain Man, again, with only results of the Tom Cruise movie or raincoats.

But one article struck my interest.

The article itself, in its original context, is here. The article was named Ame-Onna, from my knowledge of a very popular Japanese legend, I knew that Onna meant woman, and upon reading, I learned that Ame meant rain. The name summed up to be Rain-Woman. Upon reading the article, I learned that there were masculine equivalents as well. The article is as follows:. Even though this article explains regular people not being invited to the beach, the more disturbing thing was the accompanying image.

I returned to my research on the Rain Man. I began looking at videos, and besides the aforementioned badly worded Tumblr story, I found very little. So instead, I went back to my supernatural books, of which I have an extensive amount of. Besides, very much the same stories and records, I began to feel like I was going in circles again.

Key Points:

But I did find one note that was interesting: That note scared the pants off me, not only did it go against the previous reference of a completely harmless rain man, but it also claims that he's a house-enterer too. Those things terrify me, which is why I am so infatuated with the Slenderman and the like. This now described him as a boogeyman, that took you away, never to be seen again, and your only warning was the rain. As I looked further in my other books, the appendices listed the rain man in the same categories as other man-killers and child-snatchers of the paranormal world, regardless of any notes otherwise in the books.

I figured this couldn't be bad organization or editing, since it occurred in at least 5 different books. It seemed the Rain Man made people disappear, despite his stalwart appearance. I began formulating a picture of what the Rain Man would look like, and one image struck me as more like him than anything else. Even though it is an image of The Rake , the eyes seem too much like the descriptions of the rain man to ignore.

From here, I'm not entirely sure what my research will do on the rain man, hopefully it will be able to help anyone who encounters this lantern-eyed creature. Terrifying and paranormal as The Rake, stiff and ominous as the Slenderman and of course; a boogeyman whose only entrance is warned by the pitter-patter of rain on your roof.

Entry 1 A while back, I was in an outback Australian pub. The old man began telling his story to which I'll make the best attempt to recall: And that's why you never messed with the Ooga-Booga men. Entry 2 I'm not gullible, but I do like the odd scary story, so I decided to look in my Psychic Encyclopedia's for anything relating to the story of the "rain man.

Rain man Sightings In the 's there were reports all around central Europe of a man in the rain.

The soldier wrote in his journal: For a moment I thought the firefight had ended, but it was far too abrupt. The rain was the only sound I could hear, I was tempted to fall asleep, but not once I saw him. Last month was the wettest June on record with almost mm of rain but the Sun hopes its campaign will stop this July from producing similarly depressing statistics.
