Superstition


Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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.

I am sorry if my question was a repeat. I am new to the pub and did not realize there was a search feature. Thanks for the tip and website.

Its cool "hellfire" Marie There are more repeat posts than anyone can count anyway and besides we generally learn something new everytime.
