A more dreary, weird spot could hardly be selected for a witches' meeting; and the Lizard folks were always--a fact--careful to be back before dark, preferring to suffer inconvenience, to risking a sight of the ghostly lugger. Unbelieving people attributed the origin of the tradition to a white horse seen in a dim twilight standing in the shallow water; but this was indignantly rejected by the mass of the residents.","title":"Demons and Spectres: The Lugger of Croft Pasco Pool","type":"page"}
