The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang

"DEAR
LANG,
"I
enclose
a
tradition
connected
with
the
murder
of
Sergeant
Davies,
which
my
brother
picked
up
lately
before
he
had
read
the
story
in
your
Cock
Lane.
He
had
heard
of
the
event
before,
both
in
Athole
and
Braemar,
and
it
was
this
that
made
him
ask
the
old
lady
(see
next
letter)
about
it.
"He
thinks
that
Glenconie
of
your
version
(p.
256)
must
be
Glenclunie,
into
which
Allt
Chriostaidh
falls.
He
also
suggests
that
the
person
who
was
chased
by
the
murderers
may
have
got
up
the
ghost,
in
order
to
shift
the
odium
of
tale-bearing
to
other
shoulders.
The
fact
of
being
mixed
up
in
the
affair
lends
some
support
to
the
story
here
related."
Here
follows
my
friend's
brother's
narrative,
the
name
of
the
witness
being
suppressed.
