"hellfire" Marie Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Just wondering if anyone knew of any good websites, books, etc. where I could learn about the superstitions, mythical creatures, ghost stories, and common lore that sailors and/or pirates would have talked about in the 17th century? Thanks I start to wonder with me pockets full of plunder, is there more to life at sea than piracy? NO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I can't attest to it's historical accuracy but here is an intresting page on witches I found once while looking for torture devices(Uh oh here come the crazies lol). Seems pretty good but I never re checked any of it and she does have a Bibliography there so that may be of help as well. http://www.shanmonster.com/witch/index.html There were some simmiliar threads a while back but right now I don't wanna look for em so use the search feature at the bottom of the page however you may or may not find what you are looking for.
