Supernatural is a television series, which is liked by people who have an interest in occult and folklore. As season 5 of the popular series has just ended, people are eagerly waiting for the Supernatural season 6. The concept of two brothers hunting monsters and devils is quite appealing to the audience.
The brothers have also hunted vampires, but whether the show is based on reality or is completely fictitious is a frequently asked question. This article will discuss various episodes of the series and compare them with real life situations.
In the pilot episode, Dean and Sam investigate the case of a woman in white. The so-called woman came to know that her husband was unfaithful. She killed her children and later committed suicide. After death, she started appearing as a ghost, in white flowing robes and haunted and killed unfaithful men. Such stories have made people crave to watch Supernatural season 6.
The plotline of this episode has actually been taken from an authentic folklore, which has its origin in Mexico. In this tale, the ‘woman in white’ roams around in search of her dead children.
Another instance in the pilot episode shows that a woman justifies her wearing a pentagram for a silly reason of scaring her parents. But Sam tells her that a pentagram is actually very powerful and keeps the evil spirits away. This episode was so loved by people that now they want to get their hands on Supernatural season 6 for more such stories.
Sam is quite right about the pentagram, as it is actually a seal of Solomon or the shield of Solomon, which was found in 4000 BC. The pentagram is also effective in warding off evil spirits, if drawn upon a wall. At some point of time, the pentagram was the seal of Jerusalem. But later, in Europe, it was considered a symbol of magic and the devil.
Those who are eagerly waiting to watch Supernatural interludes of season 6, must have seen the episode named Wendigo. In this episode, as the brothers follow the tracks of their father, they come across a small town in Colorado, where they discover that several campers have disappeared into thin air. They later find out that Wendigo is the reason behind the disappearances.
The literal meaning of Wendigo is “evil that devours”. Certain hunters or frontiersmen are forced to devour human flesh, when they are left with no other options. After consuming human flesh, these Wendigo become all powerful, superhuman and immortal, succumbing to no weapons.
This episode is based on a North American lore, where there is a similar mention of a Wendigo.
It can be clearly seen that the creators of Supernatural have tried their best to relate the episodes to actual folklores. So, link to explore the neoteric essence instilled by the creators in the show

The next morning.
Zoey was talking with the mortician, while Alexia was watching cartoons. At least Zoey was under the impression Alexia was watching cartoons. Until her little girl let out a shriek.
“Mommy!”
Zoey, scared something had happened to Alexia, jumped up and ran into the sitting room. Alexia was staring at the screen.
“Lex, what’s going on? You almost gave mommy a heart attack” Zoey said and swallowed a few times to calm down.
“Mommy, come look” Alexia said breathless. “Uncle Emmanuel is on TV”
Zoey rushed to the television and increased the volume.
“Last night the police arrested a man named Castiel for the abuse of a four year old girl” the newsreader said.
“Alexia, go play outside” Zoey said trembling.
“Why do they call him Castiel, mommy? His name’s Emmanuel” Alexia said confused.
“Now!” Zoey yelled and Alexia ran outside.

The waitress walked through the back door. She was taking a break. She felt two eyes on her and looked aside.
Cas was staring at her.
“Hi” she said. She walked to him. “You were acting strange earlier”
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled. “You remind me of someone”
“Your girlfriend?” the waitress guessed.
Cas shook his head. “She wasn’t my girlfriend. She was my…”
“Sex buddy” the waitress helped. “I’m Lucy”
“I’m Cas” Cas said.
“Cas?” Lucy said intrigued. “That’s an uncommon name” She came closer to him and took his collar. She dragged him into one of the toilets and locked the door. She threw her arms around his neck and jumped in his arms. She kissed him and Cas forced her against the wall.
“Aaaahhh!” she exclaimed. She pushed Cas away and looked at him terrified.
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled concerned.
“It’s okay” Lucy said, but Cas unlocked the door and ran away.

Meg opened the door of a motel room and helped Cas inside. She guided him to the single bed and put him down. She gently pushed him down and he opened his eyes a little. She walked to the bathroom and dampened a towel.
She walked back into the room and sank down on the bed. Unlike Meg’s Cas’ clothes hadn’t been restored. Meg opened the ruined and bloodstained hospital shirt and dabbed his wounds with the towel.
Cas groaned from pain.
“You don’t have to do this” he said weak. “I will heal eventually”
“I know” Meg said absent-minded. She stared at Cas’ body. Even with all the cuts he still looked…jumpable.
“But thanks for the gesture” Cas said with a weak smile.
Meg continued nursing his injuries. “You know” she said. “If I was still human, I’d fall for you”
Cas gave her another weak smile, before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning
Cas opened the door of the house and helped Daphne inside. He guided her to the sitting room and put her gently down on the couch.
“You know, I’ve been thinking” Daphne said. “With you around I don’t need a car. Makes things a lot cheaper”
“Can I get you something?” Cas asked.
Daphne shook her head. “You’re here. That’s enough for now”
Cas wasn’t used to that much gratitude and he’d have to adjust to it.
“Actually” Daphne started. “Could you give me the phone? I need to call the locksmith to tell him I won’t be needing his services after all. I gave Zoey her key back”
Cas smiled weak. “I’m glad you made it up with each other”
