In Celtic mythology deer are connected to the fairy realm or Otherworld. They are messengers associated with spirits, or gods who may shape shift into the form of deer. Some tales say they are “fairy cattle" herded and milked by an otherworldly woman.

If the world is getting a little too much may I recommend the inexplicably obsolete word ‘latibulating’, from the 17th century? To latibulate is to find a cosy corner somewhere and hide in it.

👻 “I can’t go through the Haunted Wood, Marilla,” cried Anne...There’s a white lady walks along the brook just about this time of the night and wrings her hands and utters wailing cries. 💀 And there’s a headless man stalks up and down the path and skeletons glower at you . 👀

“And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling–my darling–my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea–
In her tomb by the sounding sea.”

A widespread Bavarian folk belief holds that, on the night of 31 October to 1 November, the dead rise from their graves and attend a mass in the churches, which is celebrated by a dead priest. As a living person, one should not disturb such a mass, otherwise one will incur the wrath of the dead.
