Surprisingly enough, there's not that much information out there about Korean demonic possession. Most of what I turned up focused on the practices of the mudang, or shaman (although I'm not sure if they really are shamans in a technical sense). Oddly enough, this is the second story I've read in as many weeks that featured Korean exorcisms of one sort or another. Weird how things tend to travel in packs sometimes, huh?
Anyone have any guesses on the importance of the peach schnapps or peaches in general, 'cause I'm at a loss.
Also, this has nothing to do with anything, but I ran across a story yesterday that y'all should read. It's really short (it'll take all of 5 minutes to read) but it's fantastically creepy.

OK, I'll bite: What was the other story you recently read about Korean exorcisms, and how did you stumble across it?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Lawrence Person story, with link, deserves a post all its own?
It was in the anthology of queer fantasy I read for the paper. Basically it was about this farmer and his mother who were terrible to his poor wife. The wife ends up befriending and falling in love with the ghost of the farmer's first wife and eventually kills herself to be with her.
