Fairy Encounters in Medieval England: Landscape, Folklore and the Supernatural - Exeter New Approaches to Legend, Folklore and Popular Belief
Jeremy Harte
Strange tales from many medieval genres prove that experience, not fiction, underlay fairy beliefs. Supernatural beings took on similar forms whether they were supposed to be ghosts or goblins, saints or demons. First-person oral testimony is backed up by place-names which show how wells, pools and hills were known locally as haunted locations.
