Spectral Wild Hunts and a Cruel Huntsman
The wild hunt is a ghostly procession of huntsman, their horses and dogs. Its roots are in ancient Germanic/Norse mythology. It has different leaders, Odin, Holda, Bertha, Frigga and Herne, depending on the country where the hunt takes place. After the Reformation, when the belief in Purgatory was abolished, the Wild Hunt was the lot of the unbaptized dead. These people could not be buried on sacred ground and were interred in unconsecrated earth. The belief was that their spirits remained earthbound. These unfortunate souls were game for the Wild Hunt and were chased into hell by them. There have been reported sighting of this spectral phenomena with its people and ghostly animals.
