Kelpie 🎨 Iren Horrors

Kelpie is a shape-shifting water spirit inhabiting the lochs and pools of Scotland. It has usually been described as appearing as a strong black horse, but is able to adopt human form. One of the Kelpie's common identifying characteristics is that its hooves are reversed as compared to those of a normal horse and it's also able to extend the length of its back to carry many riders together into the depths. Kelpies take their victims into the water, stoke or even devour them.

Usually the legends about Kelpie tell us about several children clambering onto the creature's back while one most cautious child remains on the shore. He then pets the horse but his hand sticks to its neck. In some variations the lad cuts off his fingers or hand to free himself. He survives but the other children are carried off and drowned, with only some of their entrails being found later.

Such stories served as a warning keeping children away from dangerous stretches of water.

The Evil Butcher

Three small children were gleaning in the fields. As they worked and played, they wandered off into the town. Walking about and exploring, the children forgot the time.

When it was late and the sun going down, the children were hungry, tired and lost. They came to a lighted butcher’s shop, knocked and said, “We are lost and hungry. May we eat and sleep?” “Oh, yes,” came the reply, “do come in.”

As they enter, the butcher takes a sharp knife, cuts them up, and puts them in a large salting tub. Seven years pass.

A knock comes on the door. Bishop Saint Nicholas appears, saying to the evil butcher, “Open your large salting tub!” The saint puts his hand on the tub and, appealing to God, says, “Rise up, children.” The little children awake and stand up. Their families joyfully welcome them home.

Ever since St. Nicholas has been the patron and protector of children.
