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.

The Spanish Galleons
Clumsy and slow, but seaworthy, this ship above all others fired a pirate’s imagination. Galleons guarded the treasure bound for Spain and the king’s coffers. A single captured prize could make a pirate rich--if he caught her. Yet as stalwart as the galleon appeared, she was actually quite fragile when pitted against Mother Nature, who succeeded in wrecking the galleons, which sank to the ocean floor with their precious cargo.

The Spanish Flota
With Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the New World, Spain gained control of a vast overseas empire with great riches. The king needed this treasure to fund the frequent wars that depleted the royal coffers. In time the area Spain controlled became known as the Spanish Main. Between 1492 and 1830 the New World produced 4,035,156,000 gold and silver pesos. Carried in the holds of the treasure fleets, these riches drew pirates to them like a magnet draws metal.
