If the first lamb of the season is born black, it foretells mourning garments for the family within the year.

Today is #AllSoulsDay.
Persons dressed in black walk around the towns ringing a loud and dismal bell.
They ask the inhabitants to pray for the repose of all souls so "that the dead many benefit from the pious exertions of the living."

Never harness a pregnant mare to a hearse.
If a mare in foal draws a corpse to the grave one of two things will happen within the year:
1. She and her foal will die;
or,
2. A member of her owner's family will die.

The Funeral Stone of Brilley
There was once a large stone outside the churchyard in the #Herefordshire village of Brilley.
Coffins were carried round it three times en route to burial. This ritual scuppered the #devil's plans to seize the dead person's soul.

If a picture falls from a wall for no apparent reason, it foretells the death of someone in the house.

The Skriker, Trash, or Padfoot.
This #Lancashire #boggart is invariably looked upon as the forerunner of death.
It is only seen by the relatives of persons about to die, or the unfortunate doomed persons themselves.

The #Cyhyraeth is a #Welsh 'Weeper'. It is heard groaning before a death, especially multiple deaths.
Its doleful sound is heard first at a distance, then nearer, then close at hand; so that it is a three-fold warning of death.

Catching up on #AFSAM2021 presentations from abroad. Loved the #deathlore session with @Deathlorist and beautiful use of field interviews/#oralhistory from @spriskos. Cadavers as food had me obsessively revolted. Eek! #folklore #conference
In the unforgiving #MiddleAges, suicides or criminals were sometimes buried face down.
This is a terrible act of malice for it turns the corpse away from the light.

A #Welsh custom
All Welsh churches kept a handbell. It was taken by the sexton to the house where a funeral was to be held, and rung at the head of the procession.

In #Wales the connection between #fairies
and the dead is explicit.
Gynn ap Nudd, the King of the Fairies, is also the King of the Dead.

Place sprigs of #yew within the shrouds of the dead.
It will protect and restrain their spirits.

A #butterfly hovering near a corpse is a sign of the everlasting happiness of the soul of the deceased.

Unfortunate lovers had garlands of Yew, Willow, and Rosemary laid on their biers.
“Lay a garland on my hearse Of the dismal Yew.”

In #Devonshire, it was thought lucky to have a stillborn child put (unofficially) into any open grave, as it was considered a sure passport to heaven for the next person buried there.
