The supernatural in America

The fascination for the occult dark forces in the USA has been here for a very long time ago. One super natural story that is connected to dark forces is the Witches of Salem, which made it to  history books in America. So how is it that a country that was created by the religious ended up being so superstitious, that even though they don't want to they still end up believing in the stories that they are told no matter how ridiculous they sound. You could say that the mystery behind it all attracts our attention like nothing else before has, maybe its the fact that we will never know whether the story is true or not. Throughout all of American history, this tales are found either because they were created by some of the most famous authors or because they have been told by people for a very very long time.
  In modern day we can still see that human life in America is not complete without stories about the supernatural. You can find them in literature, in movies and in TV shows. For example in literature you have the Twilight Saga series which is a story of love between a human and a vampire and it captured the attention of a lot of teens, in literature you have the mortal instruments series which has to do with angels,demons,werewolves,vampires,witches, and everything that has to do with the supernatural. For TV shows you have the famous show of America Horror story: Coven which is supposed to be the story about teen witches in New Orleans, and it attracts the attention of both teens and adults. This fascination over the supernatural has incorporated into the day to day lifes of Americans, and it proves that no matter what happens there will always be a way for the supernatural to weave into American life. Maybe the fact that its been in American life for so long it makes it seem impossible for us to live without it. We can't seem to be able to tear it away from us it has become an essential part of America. 

       When it comes to anti-hero's the ones that come to mind are Ichabod Crane from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Walter White from Breaking Bad. They both have different personalities, but at the same time the have a few things in common. Crane and White were both teachers and there actions were led by the need and want to have money, although one of them never achieved his goal. They both had different ideas as to how to get what they wanted, one Ichabod plans on marrying Katrina and White starts to sell Meth, they also have different motivation to get the money.      
             Ichabod Crane just wants the money for no reason, at first he might have actually liked Katrina but when he found out that she had money, that she was a heiress he just courted her for the money. But unlike Crane, White did it because he wanted to have enough money to be able to leave for his family after his death, for him it felt like that that was what he was supposed to do even if the way he was getting the money was the wrong way. Also Crane was a very superstitious man he believed in every single legend, myth, and story he had ever heard, and White was more of a science guy he believed more in the facts, and he had accepted that he was dying, unlike Crane who was not prepared for his death, it was sudden. Even though they are both anti-hero's, they have differences then similarities.
