With this town is connected the history of Nancy Camel, who lived in some period of history either never ascertained or so remote that time has effaced all traces from mortal memory. Tradition, however, relates, for the benefit of posterity, that when the manufacture of stockings formed a portion of the daily work of its inhabitants, and when old and young worked their fingers to the bone to obtain money, there lived an old lady of the above name in the neighbouring woods, and was of course accounted a witch, or wise woman. Regarded as an object of ridicule, if not of dread, stiunned by her own sex, and without kit or kin; in her seclusion and retirement she laboured at her stockings unceasingly--Sundays not excepted--and here she mourned over the bitterness of her wretched life. In the midst of her solitude, she, too, is visited by the evil one. What transactions passed between them, history relates not--the result of the interview never transpired; perhaps she broke, like many of her companions in sorcery, the compact duly signed and sealed to deliver over her soul to her lord and master for favours conferred. However, one evening after a most sultry day, the dark clouds gathered, and terminated the day with gloom; thunder silled the sky, accompanied, too, by the flash of vivid lightning. As night drew on, so the fury of the elements increased. In the midst of the storm was heard a loud and piercing shriek, that faintly echoed till the morning broke; there, too, was heard, the cracking of a whip and the creaking of wheels. Morn came at last, calm and glorious after the storm; some persons, half suspecting the cause of the shrieks they had heard, and half out of curiosity to see how Nancy had fared, visited the...

Book excerpt: Pirates and smugglers, ghost ships and sea-serpents, fishermen’s prayers and sailors’ rituals – the coastline of the British Isles plays host to an astonishingly rich variety of local legends, customs, and superstitions. In The Fabled Coast, renowned folklorists Sophia Kingshill and Jennifer Westwood gather together the most enthralling tales and traditions, tracing their origins and examining the facts behind the legends. Was there ever such a beast as the monstrous Kraken? Did a Welsh prince discover America, centuries before Columbus? What happened to the missing crew of the Mary Celeste? Along the way, they recount the stories that are an integral part of our coastal heritage, such as the tale of Drake’s Drum, said to be heard when England was in peril, and the mythical island of Hy Brazil, which for centuries appeared on sea charts and maps to the west of Ireland. The result is an endlessly fascinating, often surprising journey through our island history.
