People dislike talking of child ghosts. Boys who met unfortunate ends playing in train tunnels, girls who went too close to edge of the Doom Pond. Some hauntings cut too deep for easy telling. – #CLNolan

@Skionar Yes, child ghosting is slim before the 1890s in Britain, fair bit of it in Serbia in my experience, but while Margaret Waters and other baby farmers get to be ghosts, their victims rarely do.

Make a ward with polished stones If you want the Devil to shout Make a lock with a cross of bones To set five crows as look-out – Trad. Hookland cunning rhyme
