Tror du på spøkelser? Lurer du på om det finnes mer mellom himmel og jord enn vi kan se? Har du hørt om hvite damer, glemte fanger eller flyvende jomfruer? I denne boka møter du noen av Norges skumleste gjenferd. Her blir du kjent med spøkelser som hjemsøker hotell og herregårder, kirker og museer, fyrtårn og festninger. Gjenferdene har ulike historier, men de deler en tragisk skjebne: De fikk aldri fred i døden og går igjen til evig tid. Noen er harmløse, til og med hjelpsomme – andre sprer frykt og uhygge! Har du noen gang møtt et gjenferd i et gammelt hus?
The Blessed and the Damned

The Irish folklore of the Otherworld is rich in its many manifestations of supernatural beings and personages. This is represented in many different genres of folklore, such as folktales, legends, ballads, memorates, beliefs and belief statements, and exists within the context of rich literary, historical and imaginative parallels. This book presents a new reading of Irish religious belief and legend in a meaningful socio-historical context, examining popular belief and narratives of sinful women and unbaptised children, as a way of understanding a particular worldview in Irish society. Blending postmodern approaches with traditional methodologies, the author reviews the representation of women, sin and repentance in Irish folklore. The author suggests new ways of seeing this legend material, indicating strong links between the Irish and the French, specifically Breton, religious tradition, and tracing the nature of this inter-relationship through the post-Tridentine Counter Reformation Roman Catholic Church and its teachings. In this way aspects of Ireland's popular religious and cultural inheritance are examined.
