Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk Lore of East Yorkshire An Icelandic Saiga tells of a man who, standing at his cottage door, saw some souls pass through the air. Among them he recognised his own, and had scarcely time to relate the incident before he died. Very many similar stories stories not ancient, but very modern - are current to day among the old folks. Here is one. A man went on St. Mark's Eve to watch in the church porch, where he saw enter the church the shades of several he knew, followed by some mysterious unknown forms, carrying a coffin. He endeavoured to see the features of the corpse, but was unable to do so 5 though, in answer to his earnest longing, a whisper came through the quiet midnight air, 'tis yourself He went home, filled with fatal fear, took to his bed and died. The appearance of the wraith or form of the deceased is still as firmly believed to be a Sign of death as it was inthe days Of Olaf and though the bah-gest, * with its eyes as big as saucers, has ceased its terrifying rambles, and its growlings are no longer heard round the house of the doomed one, the howling of the yard dog has taken its place as an omen of death. The ancient belief that the spirit requires space or room to pass still receives credence; for when a person is dying a window or door is opened in order that the spirit may pass away easily. One of the most vivid recollections of my boyhood is the death-bed of a younger brother. On a low bed, near a corner of the room, lay the poor little fellow whose life was rapidly ebbing. By the bedside sat my aged grandmother, silently praying, and the only sounds in the room were the laboured breathing of the dying boy and the smothered sobs of the assembled relatives; and as the end drew near my grandmother directed that a door leading into another room should be opened, and that room was ever afterwards associated with ghosts and spirits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk Lore of East Yorkshire The learning of the common folk, acquired by tradition, experience, or observation, and epitomised under the comprehensive title of Folk Lore, has, in these late years, received much attention, and its study has been prosecuted with due diligence and increasing interest. Learning and culture have given their invaluable aid, and scholars have traversed the treasures of the past, and have shewn us that the hoary antiquity of the Pyramids is not whiter than that which is borne by some of our nursery tales; that many of these tales are world wide; and that old customs, speech, and beliefs, linger with a tenacity which is difficult to loosen. The superstitious Welsh miners in the Morfa Colliery, who caused a special examination of the pit to be made, in consequence of "spirits and noises and slamming of doors," previous to the disastrous explosion, are but typical of the great mass of people whose lives are more governed by folk lore than by book lore.
