I was just walking through this patch of forest near a path I normally walk when I found it sticking out of the ground," u/Away-Net-7241 told Newsweek. "So I went up to it, took some pictures then left. I then posted it on Reddit for any answers."


In a surprise twist, the Reddit user said the pictures were actually taken in an area of woodland near to the town of Thornton in Bradford, U.K.

There are three species that feed primarily on blood (the “vampire” bats) while the remaining 1,300 species feed on things like insects, rodents, and nectar. These vampire bats are where the group as a whole got their connection to Halloween.

When these bats were first observed lapping up the blood of cattle in Central and South America they were quickly given the label of “vampires.” This idea was made concrete when Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) depicted vampires shapeshifting into bats. Another unfortunate association bats have going for them is one with witches. It is believed that witches worshipped horned figures with wings—possibly bats? Furthermore, it is said that witches used bat blood in their “flying” concoctions.

Ive read about the bat info. but didnt know the part about the witches. I dont believe the witches used bat blood for their flying concoctions.
