THE MYRIAD SPOOKS OF
THE ANIMAL WORLD
All Over the World Men Believe That GhoStIy
Animals as Well as GhoStIy Humans
Walk This Earth.
BY WILLIAM THORP.
Copyright, 1903, by William Thorp.

the traveller hears in all parts of the
world.
The Red Indians belief that the souls
of slain animals went to the happy
hunting grounds, as well as the souls
of slain warriors, is well known. But
it is not so well known that among GER
tain tribes it was the custom to beg
pardon of an animal before killing 1t,
and even to stick the pipe of peace in
its mouth If there was time to do so
before it's spirit fled. This was to pre-
vent the animal from coming back in
ghostly form to haunt its slayer.
The same superstition may be met
with in many other parts of the world
in India, in Assam, in New Guinea,
among the Ewe-speaking negro tribes
of the West Coast of Africa, among
the Waiomgomo Indians of Venezuela,
and in the interior of Madagascar.
The people of Assam firmly believe
/, that if a man takes care to beg pardon
with due form and ceremony the ghosts
of all the birds and beasts he Stays in
this life will become his property in
the next world. 1t is rather annoying
to an English planter in that country
to have to wait for his dinner while his
servant goes through elaborte propitia-
tory rites before he kills chicken.
The pale Horse"
No animal ghost has been more
firmly believed in for many centuries
by many millions of people than the
Pale Horse" 1t dates back to the
days of Icelandic sages and Morse le-
gends. To-day it is an article of faith
with the peasants of Iceland, of the
northern part of Norway and Sweden,
of some of the northern provinces of
Russia and even with some of the
Scottish Highlanders.
When a man is about to die the
pale Horse"-white, shadowy ghost
| ly-comes out of the dark night and
halts before the door of his house. Then
he must arise from his deathbed, drink
| life's strrup-cup mount the spectral
steed and ride off to that ''undiscover-
! ed country from whose bourne no trav-
! eler returns"
/ In the days when he wrote poetry
instead of guiding Americas foreign
policy. John Hay took this curious
myth for the theme of one of his best
poems, The stirrup Cup"
MY short and happy day is done.
The long and dFeary night comes
| on,
And at my door the Pale Horse stands,
To carry me to unknown lands.
His whinny shrill, his paving hoof,
Sound dreadful as a gathering storm;
| And 1 must leave. this sheltering roof,
And JOYS of life so soft and warm.
Tender and warm the joys of life
Good friends. the faithful and the
true:

Peter died since you were here last"
said the naval officer.
A fox terrier in the room whined
and trembled violently. Presently the
door of the room was pushed open and
they heard the 'pad-pad" of the dogs
feet on the polished floor. No dog could
be seen, but the invisible ghost of one
walked over to the hearthrug. shook
itself violently, and then flung itself
down heavily on the rug. The Jingle
of the collar could be distinctly heard.
A hard-headed Scottish planter, who
is now living in Jamaica, declares that
he met a ghostly mare three nights in
succession at the same spot when rid
ing home from his banana fields. Each
time his horse stopped dead, quivering
with fear, and could only be made to
pass the mare by the liberal use of
whip and spur. On the second night
the planter tried to fog the mare out
of the way, but as his whip curled
over her back it only cut the air.
The planters two sons, not to be out
done, swear that their horses were once
raced for a mile by a spectral mule,
which suddenly vanished under their
very ewes.
But the queerest Jamaican ghost is
one which haunts a plantation called
''Tulloch." 1t is a spectral horse and
DuBSys anu appears Win oppressive
regularity two or three times a week.
The clatter of the horses hoofs and
the scraping of the buggy wheels on
the carriage drive are plainly heard,
but when the people look out from the
house there is no horse or buggy to
be seen. Hundreds of persons are
ready to testify to the truth of this
story.
The non-human ghosts are not con-
fined to dry land. There are stories
of phantom sharks in many parts of
the world, and one which is supposed
to haunt the waters around Nassau is
Vouched for by a cloud of witnesses.
1t is called the "Harbor Master
nickname applied to most famous
sharks-and is incredibly long, some of
the imaginative local fishermen even
making it a good rival of the sea SER
pent 1t shines with weird phosphor-
escent glow even in broad daylight,
and is not to be scared away by a
noise in the water, like ordinary sharks.
1t has been hooked over and over again,
so the fishermen say. but it always
Vanishes off the hook as it is being
pulled over the ships side. 1t does not
merely flop off and fall back into the
water; it simply vanishes, and there is
no splash afterwards. Next day it is
found back at the old stand, doing bus
mess as usual.

A negro, shrieking with terror and
trembling in every limb. ran on to the
veranda of a planters house in Trini-
dad one evening and flung himself at
the planters feet in a dead faint.
Whats the matter Bob?" asked
the planter, after he had brought the
man to and given him a stiff drink
of whisky. John Awful Man put

ser dan dat! / see de rollin' calf in
de bush jus now Him eyes shine
life fin and him chain go clank-a,-
clank-clank De blessed Lord hab
mercy pom me. / die soon, TO- sure"
Nothing could persuade the man
that he was not doomed or that he
had only seen a harmless and per-
fectly natural white calf. He fell in a
state of hopeless melancholy and soon
afterwards died of slight attack CT
malarial fever-'from pure funk" as
the doctor said.
The 'ROlIing Calf"
The rolling calf is the most IA
ly believed in by the colored people
in the West Indies. Indeed, through
out the world there is no animal ghost
which causes people greater uneasi-
ness.
1t is a white calf of enormous size
as big as an elephant, if some ac-
counts may be trusted. Its eyes blaze
like two live Goals and roll fearsomely
from side TO side; hence its name. A
heavy chain encircles its body and
drags behind on the ground for many
yards, clanking weirdly in the still
ness of the tropical night.
The apparition is supposed to pre-
sage death, or, at the least, some ter
rible misfortune. And, of course,
nearly every negro who meets a white
calf straying at night in the jungle or
on a lonely mountain road imagines
that he has seen the dreaded rolling
calf"
There is only one way to render the
phantom harmless. When II appears,
q knife or a machete must instantly
be stuck in the ground, with the edge
towards the calf Then, like Mephis-
topheles held back by the sign of the
cross. it cannot approach or do any
evil On this account a West Indian
negro will seldom go out at night
without his machete.
worlds Belief in Spectral Beasts.
The belief in animal ghosts is COM
mon TO most savage and barbarian
races, as well as TO many civilized peo-
pie It is natural that this should be
SO, because most savages credit ami
mails with souls and a future existence
equally with men. They think that
after death
1.-The hunter still the deer pursues,

Therefore If they believe that the
ghosts OF men revisit these pale

lieve, in order to be logical. that the
ghosts Of animals do the same. This

quite across the road and was accom-
panied by shepherd and a long-hair-
ed black dog" AS he gazed at the
flock it vanished.
Human Ghosts in Animal shape.
The ghost lore of England and
Scotland abounds in tales of animal
spectres, but they are generally de-
ceased humans who for some reason
are compelled to visit earth in the
form of an animal.
For example, the Dog of Mause, "a
grayish beast" wandered about Scot
land until quite recently telling every
one it met that it was the ghost of
David Soutar who had murdered a
man by means of a dog and was
therefore doomed to walk the earth in
the guise of a dog. 1t used to ask
people, of their Christian charity, to
go to the scene of the murder and
1t might be released from it's canine
shape. Eventually, somebody was
obliging enough to do this, and the
phantom dog appeared no more.
The old farm laborers of Shropshire
firmly believe that human ghosts take
the form of bulls, and in Cornwall
that stronghold of quaint legends and
strange superstitions-the people say
that spirits of the departed return in
the welfare of those whom they hold
most dear. Many Cornishwoman has
been seen to weep bitterly at the
sight of a moth, and heard to declare
that it was the spirit of her dead baby.
A. T. CUTLER Couch, himself Cor
nishman, has written a pathetic poem
on this superstition. A young lover,
whose sweetheart has just died, it sit
ting in his study, thinking sadly Of
her. A moth flies in through the open
window and flutters around him, try
ing to attract his attention. At last
it kisses him on the lips, and, irri-
tated by the interruption to his
sweetly bitter thoughts. he brushes it
to death. Then. too late. he realizes
that it was the spirit of his sweetheart
come back to comfort him. He has
destroyed It's earthly tabernacle and
condemned it to wander houseless
through the void of space to the end of
time.
Dog and Horse PhantOms.
A well-known English naval officer,
who is quoted by Andrew Lang, used
to tell a story of a real animal ghost
that is to say, the ghost in animal
shape. He says that he was sitting in
a room in his country house with a
friend when they heard a well-known
bark on the stairs outside.
"Why, that's old Peter!" said the
friend, referring to a favorite dog
which had belonged to his host.

yarns of the famous phantom whale.
They see a fine "spouter' and lower
away the boats to harpoon it. But
their harpoons go clean through the
whale as if it were air, and then it
Vanishes.
Some misfortune is bound to befall
the vessel soon afterwards. 1t is a
worse omen than sighting Vanderdeck-
en- and his spectral ship.

Portable and free from drafts are the

able means that it should be light and
free from dampness as well as of a
proper temperature. The style of ar
chitectuTe is of little importance, ex-
cept that it is best that the house be
comparatively low and rather squane
in form, so that there will be little or
no waste space. Whatever seems best
as floor, use, being careful. how
ever, that there is no possibility of its
being damp nor opportunity for Yer
min getting into the house. If of
boards, cover the floor with dry sand
and over that keep litter of some kind
all the time. Clean out the sand every
month or six weeks and fill in with
clean material.
In lighting the poultry house see
that the windows are so placed that
the greatest amount of sun may be
had and arrange so that they may be
covered lat night during the winter.
Use newspapers freely as lining to the
house, lacking them on in double lay
ers, after first filling in all cracks. A
house built after this plan, even of
the cheapest lumber, will be all that lis
desirable.
