More
Ghosts
with
a
Purpose.

Ghost.

A

Old-Fashioned
Ghost.
Half-past
One
o'clock.
Put
out
the
Light!
The
ghost
in
the
following
famous
tale
had
a
purpose.
He
was
a
Highland
ghost,
a
Campbell,
and
desired
vengeance
on
a
Macniven,
who
murdered
him.
The
ghost,
practically,
"cried
Cruachan,"
and
tried
to
rouse
the
clan.
Failing
in
this,
owing
to
Inverawe's
loyalty
to
his
oath,
the
ghost
uttered
a
prophecy.
The
tale
is
given
in
the
words
of
Miss
Elspeth
Campbell,
who
collected
it
at
Inverawe
from
a
Highland
narrator.
She
adds
a
curious
supplementary
tradition
in
the
Argyle
family.
