Download or read book The Ghosts of King s Lynn and West Norfolk written by Paul Lee and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ancient shipping port and market town of King's Lynn is an often overlooked repository of ghostly tales and legends. Apart from a compilation of stories in a 1986 booklet, the tales connected to this town are frequently ignored in books covering the area. Indeed, the same can be said of West Norfolk which would seem to have a very sparse ghostly population if one were to go by previously published books. This book helps to address that misconception. The town, in fact the whole area, is replete with many dozens of stories dating from the 18th century to the present day. Considering its small size, King's Lynn might even be one of the most haunted towns in the UK. This book details many stories that have accumulated over the decades; the alleged phantom fiddler said to have been heard exploring tunnels beneath a local park ... a mischievous ghost inhabiting a charity shop on a modern housing estate ... an evil spectre that wanted to push a bride-to-be down the stairs in her home to her death ... the less-than-truthful phantoms at an old RAF base ... and the antics of other worldly entities in care homes in the town. Comprising 306 pages (16 of which form a comprehensive index), most of the nearly 200 tales in this volume are being published in book form for the first time.

Download or read book Magic Witchcraft and Ghosts in the Enlightenment written by Michael R. Lynn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-17 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magic, Witchcraft, and Ghosts in the Enlightenment argues for the centrality of magical practices and ideas throughout the long eighteenth century. Although the hunt for witches in Europe declined precipitously after 1650, and the intellectual justification for natural magic came under fire by 1700, belief in magic among the general population did not come to a sudden stop. The philosophes continued to take aim at magical practices, alongside religion, as examples of superstitions that an enlightened age needed to put behind them. In addition to a continuity of beliefs and practices, the eighteenth century also saw improvement and innovation in magical ideas, the understanding of ghosts, and attitudes toward witchcraft. The volume takes a broad geographical approach and includes essays focusing on Great Britain (England and Ireland), France, Germany, and Hungary. It also takes a wide approach to the subject and includes essays on astrology, alchemy, witchcraft, cunning folk, ghosts, treasure hunters, and purveyors of magic. With a broad chronological scope that ranges from the end of the seventeenth century to the early nineteenth century, this volume is useful for undergraduates, postgraduates, scholars, and those with a general interest in magic, witchcraft, and spirits in the Enlightenment.

Download or read book Dictionary of Plant Lore written by D.C. Watts and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-05-02 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge of plant names can give insight into largely forgotten beliefs. For example, the common red poppy is known as "Blind Man" due to an old superstitious belief that if the poppy were put to the eyes it would cause blindness. Many plant names derived from superstition, folk lore, or primal beliefs. Other names are purely descriptive and can serve to explain the meaning of the botanical name. For example, Beauty-Berry is the name given to the American shrub that belongs to the genus Callicarpa. Callicarpa is Greek for beautiful fruit. Still other names come from literary sources providing rich detail of the transmission of words through the ages.Conceived as part of the author's wider interest in plant and tree lore and ethnobotanical studies, this fully revised edition of Elsevier's Dictionary of Plant Names and Their Origins contains over 30,000 vernacular and literary English names of plants. Wild and cultivated plants alike are identified by the botanical name. Further detail provides a brief account of the meaning of the name and detailed commentary on common usage. * Includes color images * Inclusive of all Latin terms with vernacular derivatives * The most comprehensive guide for plant scientists, linguists, botanists, and historians
