Description

Excerpt: "Anybody may have the Evil Eye, but that certain people suggest the Evil Eye to others from their appearance must be admitted.

A minister, himself a son of the manse, who has had Highland surroundings all his early life, bears witness, "The possession was more frequently ascribed to females than to males, and for the most part to elderly women." Another minister, an older man than the former, says of the Evil Eye: "They were chiefly women that were suspected, and were generally much disliked in the communities." These two reciters were as far apart as Arran and Ross-shire."
