Summary:
Mysterious lights, howling dogs, ringing sounds in the ear: these omens of death are part of a treasury of supernatural beliefs transmitted through centuries and across the Atlantic Ocean. Part memoir, part oral history--the author reflects on stories, about bad fairies, witch control, second sight, divination, healing incantations, attitudes towards death, and other links between Prince Edward Island and the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
