Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Witchcraft in North Carolina Testimony of a more satisfactory character is furnished by the autobiography of Rev. Brantley York, who was born in 1805. York states that during the early nineteenth century the inbah itants of the Bush Creek district in Randolph County, where he spent part of his boyhood, believed in Witchcraft, Ghost - seeing, haunted houses and fortune telling. When the neighbors came together, he continues, the most prominent topic of conversa tion was relating some remarkable witch tales, ghost stories and conjurations of various kinds; and so interesting was (sic) these stories that the conversation often continued until a very late hour at night. 'often have I sat and listened to these stories till it seemed to me that each hair upon my head resembled the quill of a porcupine. I was afraid to go out of doors, afraid to go to bed alone, and almost afraid of my own shadow. 15 A striking instance of the in uence exerted by witchcraft on the country people of western North Carolina at a somewhat later date is furnished by Mr. Charles L. Coon, of Wilson, to whom the writer is indebted for the use of his collectanea. The events occurred during the second quarter of the last century in an isolated section of Lincoln County originally settled by Germans and a few English. The account as given by Mr. Coon is as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Frank C. Brown Collection of North Carolina Folklore, Vol. 2: Folk Ballads From North Carolina This continuity will strike every reader and perhaps raise a critical question as to the editorial principles of inclusion in the present volumes. One answer has just been suggested. The other is more practical. Dr. Brown and his collaborators were still in the early stages of collecting; sifting was to follow. The General Editor, no doubt out of deference to Dr. Brown's methods, passed all the material on, as he has explained, to the Associate Editors, with responsibility to treat it as their judg ment should dictate; and the Associate Editors, probably also out of deference to their predecessors, have sometimes applied the principle of exclusion with reluctance. And the present writer, last in succession, has in turn deferred to precedent as having neither authority nor competence to decide against his betters. The reader may therefore be grateful with the Psalmist, and also remember the words of another Teacher: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over.

Download or read book The Frank C Brown Collection of North Carolina Folklore Vol 7 written by Frank C. Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Frank C. Brown Collection of North Carolina Folklore, Vol. 7: Popular Beliefs and Superstitions From North Carolina; 4874-8569 That the Ballads and Songs, both text and tunes, should 0c cupy four Of our seven volumes is natural and proper, for they have been a principal interest of collectors in the United States and Great Britain, although the music was until comparatively lately neglected. It is also right and proper that Dr. Hand's two volumes of Popular Beliefs and Superstitions should bring the Collection to its conclusion. For 'superstition' in all senses rep resents more closely and more widely than ballad singing the mind of the folk. Ballads are entertainment, superstitions are the folk mind itself. Two distinctions, moreover, are worth noting. The editing Of ballads and songs was necessarily the work Of specialists and conditioned by their special methods; whereas the superstitions and beliefs have come directly or indi rectly from the contributors and are left in their original form. The other is that these superstitions differ in degree and quality Of belief. We all have our private collection in which we believe, but not very seriously. Even the most untrained minds must qualify in some respects their adherence to this or that super stition and make of it a kind of game with themselves. Many Of these 'beliefs' call for a sense of humor and a measure of credulity in both informant and collector. While in print some of them may look trivial, they are all in fact a testimony of the immitigable vagaries, the anfractuosities, of the human mind. A real superstition is a belief you yourself do not share. What is truth? Said jesting Pilate, but the jest turned against him. Altogether these seven volumes comprise one of the largest and fullest collections covering the whole body Of folklore in a single work for any country or any region Of a country hitherto produced. All who contributed to it are to be congratulated - the hundreds Of informants who in the first instance made the work possible; the zeal Of Dr. Brown and the industry Of Dr. White in organization; the various Associate Editors; Duke Univer sity and others for their financial help; and not least Mr. Brice and his associates of the Duke Press, who have been admirably patient over a period Of more than two lustra.
