The Croglin vampire violated its victim's chamber in the dead of night. Her family wounded it by gunshot but it fled. It was tracked to a vault littered with corpse limbs; among the desecration 1 mummified cadaver bore a bullet's mark. It was set aflame, destroying the vampire #LegendaryWednesday

This effigy was made by a Scots crafter whose details are no longer coming up online. Will continue searching and add. She is clearly talented and I need to credit her!

of the fells; the beck runs
down into the Eden Valley.

I use Family Search (run by Mormons I believe) because it’s free and I’m thrifty.

In 1876 an old woman named Peg Grover was repeatedly ducked in a pond because, for no reasons given, she was believed to be a #witch. The death of a girl in the village, near Newport (in Wales?), was blamed on her, giving louts the excuse to have some fun... Luckily, Peg was rescued.

An illustration from 'The Illustrated Police News' from July 1, 1876. It shows a number of yokels with a rope draped round the branch of a tree with an old woman on the end of it, soaking wet and being pulled out of a pond. She is reaching out in supplication, but the young yokels using the rope are clearly enjoying themselves. The caption reads 'Attempt to Drown a Supposed Witch'.

I prefer to use a desktop too, but of course when travelling use my phone. My Canadian keyboard is bilingual, so those reason explain why you can’t find the 🌐symbol 😆

I love the cover of my 1965 Pan paperback of Lady Cynthia Asquith's 'Second Ghost Book'. There's no artist credit unfortunately. It's both charming and spooky, even though the back cover bills the contents as 'Macabre and Horrific' (which to be fair, several are).
