The ghost of Mary still haunts the shores of St. Simons Island. After her beloved was lost to a stormy sea, she took her own life in despair. Now, she walks the moonlit beaches, lantern held high, forever waiting for a return that will never come. #PhantomFriday #StSimonsIsland #Georgia #Folklore

In the original short story by Washington Irving and the Walt Disney movie, the legend of the Headless Horseman says that he carries his own severed head. That Ichabod Crane gets hit by a pumpkin instead is a big clue that he's being attacked by a disguised Brom Bones instead of by the real Horseman.

A banshee is a fairy or phantom from Irish folklore who bonds with a specific family. She heralds the deaths of the family's members by sobbing, wailing, and shrieking. The banshee appears as a long-haired woman with a ghastly complexion and eyes red from weeping.

A medieval chronicle tells that Bishop Baldric of Ultrecht sent a priest to sleep in a decrepit church in Deventer as penance for saying he saw the dead giving thanks. That night the dead did not let him sleep, and in fact burned him to ash for trespassing. #PhantomFriday

One Chinese summer event is Yue Lan or the Hungry Ghost Festival during Hungry Ghost Month (August/September). The gates of hell are most open on this summery night when hungry and wayward ghosts are released to roam the world and visit the living... #FolkyFriday #PhantomFriday 🎨Luo Ping

That's properly unpleasant! I like the naive artwork, too. Presumably its enormous stomach (not so very different from my own!) is a sign of its enormous appetite. #PhantomFriday
