Every culture/region has stories and myths about the things existing there. What are the ones you find the most spooky and/or interesting?

    I’m pretty sure the bible never actually physically describes Hell in that way. The depiction of it that most people are familiar with is straight out of the Divine Comedy. I’m pretty sure the bible doesn’t describe devils with red horns and pitchforks either. And it definitely doesn’t describe angels as sexy humans with bird wings (more like Lovecraftian horrors)

    I grew up Catholic and I was taught that Hell isn’t even really a place you can go, it’s more like the punishment of not going to heaven. Not sure if that’s canon though, I haven’t gone to church in like a decade.

      There’s a reason that angels in the Bible are always screaming “BE NOT AFRAID!” when they show up somewhere. It’s because they know they look like Cthulhu’s nightmares.
