The Sluagh have returned 🦇In Scottish folklore, The Sluagh were the spirits of the restless dead. They are depicted as destructive and troublesome, sinners that were not welcome in heaven, hell or the otherworld. Always seen flying from the west in flocks like birds, entering houses of the dying and carrying away their souls. Thanks so much Kyle! 🦇 Email goatskullshirley.com with your dark ideas 🖤 . . . . . . . . . . Shirley PettigrewOctober 24, 2020Shirley-C
The Adder – a household spirit in Baltic mythology. A sacred animal that people used to keep as a pet by the stove or other special area of the house ( until cats became a popular pet) believing that it would bring good harvest wealth and protection. Thank you Indre for trusting me with your first tattoo! Vik BaltrusaitisOctober 22, 2020Vik-C

Am Fear Liath Mòr comes from Scottish folklore (also known as the Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui). This presence or creature is known to haunt the summit and passes of Ben MacDhui, the highest peak of the Cairngorms. Tales speak of unsettling chills and feelings of unspeakable horror when the shadow (said to be 9 feet tall!) is near, stalking the folk climbing the mountain. Needless to say those who felt it's presence flee as fast as possible. This tale is local to my childhood home, and is a favourite of mine. Huge thanks to Billy for coming in! 🖤🦇 . . . . . .
