Originally published in the late 19th century, this work documents an array of mystical beliefs, including the influence of Druidism, the existence of fairies, the practice of witchcraft, and the phenomenon of second-sight. MacGregor further explores the historical context of Hallowe'en, sacred wells, and various seasonal customs observed across the Highlands. This 1922 edition features a scholarly foreword by Isobel Cameron, offering essential perspectives on the origins of these deep-seated superstitions. The text serves as an invaluable historical record of the spiritual, occult, and customary heritage that shaped Highland society, preserving unique anecdotes and archaic beliefs that reflect the intersection of Celtic mythology and local tradition. By analyzing these customs, the work illuminates the complex cultural tapestry of the Scottish Highlands, providing readers with deep insights into the societal values and supernatural anxieties that persisted through generations of Highland life.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":15,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/highland-superstitions/568094/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/highland-superstitions/568094.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Margaret","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-19","2026-10-13",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":81},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"Who
