This was in one Alpine valley. ♥♥ Demonology And Devil-Lore, Volume 1 by Moncure Daniel Conway ♥♥ Any one who has caught but a glimpse of the world's Walpurgis Night, as revealed in Mythology and Folklore, must agree that this courteous devil did not overstate the case. Any attempt to catalogue the evil Spectres which have haunted mankind were like trying to count the shadows cast upon the earth by the rising sun. This conviction has grown upon the author of this work at every step in his studies of the subject. ♥♥ Demonology And Devil-Lore, Volume 1 by Moncure Daniel Conway ♥♥
