i used to have this pretty old book, ghost stories from some other country, scotland or england or something
got one of them tt freaks me out is abt encounters with spooks tt look like children but no facial features, and their feets and hands the other way round. they are spirits of children who died without getting baptised(which as a christian i noe its not true, children, all children goes to heaven after they depart) and if u follow them, u wun be seen forever. only way to protect yrself is not to invite them into yr house, cross yourself, or if u see a set of barefooted foot prints pointing yr direction but u see a child walking the other way. get out of there. but it was very creepy
another story was some fisherman's tale, it was a custom for ppl to hv their boat branded with a cross for blessings and to avoid this evil spirit who sails in a tub, and everywhere it goes thunderstorms follows. the story was this boat maker finished making a boat then a passing by priest came and talk to him then left, then the boatmaker went for a tral sail then remembered he forgotten to brand his boat, then the spirit came upon him then he tot he si liaoz, but he saw something shiny at the boat bottom and saw the priest' cross, and he threw it at the spirit then with a wail everything was back to normal.. kinda creepy rite... esp the children wan.. forgot where i put the book liaoz.
