Household Ghosts and Hidden Treasure

British Goblins: Welsh Folk Lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends and Traditions (1881)

Book 2 Chapter 2

by

Wirt Sikes

In this superb chapter, we learn about how Welsh ghosts are involved with revealing hidden treasure! Sikes tells us about the ghost of St. Donat, Anne Dewi's ghost, and the ghost on horseback. We also hear about how often Ghosts with their fairy allies transport people through the air - much as occurs within modern American Spiritualism. In addition we learn much of the superstitions surrounding Hares as well as how to exorcise a haunting spirit.
