The Popular Superstitions and Festive Amusements of the Highlanders of Scotland: Now Available!



This text is a fine compilation of folklore from Scotland- most of which involves cryptids and ghosts. A few other tales are compiled here, as well as rituals and superstitions related to marriage, courting, employment, and other such topics. It roughly traces the evolution of ghost stories from the early period with its technically tangible spirits, to the more modern period where ghouls and poltergeists became more "ghost-like" and could not be hacked apart with a claymore.
