@Young_E_H wooo!

The Cù Sìth "faery dog" is a huge dark-green hound that roams the wilds of Scotland. He howls three times to signal death - to escape, you have to reach safety before the third howl, but if you hear the third you'd be rooted to the spot and die from terror. #FolkloreThursday

Jupiter Artland was really fun and cool, but just a wee bit creepy 👀

In Greek Mythology, Titaness Mnemosyne was the deity of memory and the keeper of stories from history and myth, predating the written language. She was also the mother of the Muses and was given the task of naming all objects on Earth. #FolkloreThursday

The Fideal - an evil water spirit or fuath - was said to haunt Loch na Fideil near Gairloch in the Scottish Highlands. The embodiment of entangling bog grasses and weeds, it would tempt passers-by and drag them to the bottom of the loch. #FairyTaleTuesday

@pedrosrlima Also Edinburgh

The Ceasg is a Scottish mermaid half-woman, half-salmon. In some tales, she swallowed men whole, trapping them in her stomach. To rescue them, her soul - often contained in an enchanted egg - had to be destroyed. If caught, she could also grant three wishes. #FolkloreThursday

The Nuckelavee or "devil of the sea" was a terrifying Orcadian sea creature, part horse, part man with no skin, and black blood. Its breath could cause droughts, spoil crops or bring about a plague. The only way to escape its wrath was to step into fresh water. #FolkloreThursday

The Bean Nighe in Scottish folklore is an omen of death. Found by streams or pools, she sings a wailing dirge while washing blood from the clothes of those who are to die. Some say if you lay eyes upon her, it will be the last thing you see. #FolkloreThursday
