1911. Throughout Dumfriesshire and Galloway remnants of Old World
customs still linger, suggesting a remoter time, when superstitious
practice and belief held all-important sway in the daily round and
task of the people. The author trusts that by recording the results
of his gleanings as they were received, and without attempting to
subject them to higher analysis or criticism, a truer aspect and
reflection of the influence superstition upon the social life of
those older days, may be all the more adequately presented. Found
in this work are topics dealing with witchcraft and superstition
such as witchcraft, fairy lore, wraiths, death customs, ghost lore,
witch trials, brownie lore, warnings, funeral ceremony, and haunted
houses.
