My family came from the east coast of Canada where there are great numbers of people of Scottish origin. Strong beliefs in the supernatural existed among them. Winter was the best time for gatherings when people sat around the kitchen table for family histories, jokes and stories about almost anything. In my grandfather’s day there were many people in the Maritimes, that is, Atlantic Canada, who spoke Gaelic on a daily basis.
