You can see the bottle <A HREF="http://jessielavon.blogspot.com/2008/07/hello-darlings.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/><BR/>When I ask her what was a *haint bottle*, she responded on my blog, under the post, Happy Birthday David - July Archive, :<BR/><BR/> purple cucumbers folk art said... <BR/>"Hi darling,the haint bottle is a old whiskey bottle painted up to attract the haints and bad spirits to go to the painted bottle instead of getting into the fields and crops and destoring them.I am steeped in old folk lore and tradition for 6 generations."<BR/><BR/>July 19, 2008 10:06 PM<BR/><BR/><BR/>So I was wondering, what specifics does the color blue have to do with the spirit world?<BR/><BR/>If that makes any sense......:)Deborah Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874951426927082730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-86017647916895275192008-10-01T13:44:00.000-04:002008-10-01T13:44:00.000-04:00Very good.

Jason did some research and consulted a few people and we put a ring of salt all around the house, and over every window sill and around the edges of every room. It did help although then Mom would be awakened by a beating on the side of the house and an awful wailing out in the yard. She'd look out and see this creature staring at her. This happened nearly every day. Then we finally talked to an expert who, after hearing the description of the thing, told us it was basically an infant demon for lack of a better term, and it was looking for something that was lost in its surroundings. The only thing different was an old willow tree that had blown over in a wind storm, so Mom and Dad planted a young willow tree in the spot of the old one, and lo and behold, no more demon! <BR/><BR/>That is what your poem reminded me of. I may have to add that to my list of otherworldly happenings on the mountain! I had forgotten about that.Matthew Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625103538582649633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-1521597440182887132008-10-01T11:40:00.000-04:002008-10-01T11:40:00.000-04:00Love this one-perfect for this time of year.Love this one-perfect for this time of year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-30888336972006953832008-10-01T08:39:00.000-04:002008-10-01T08:39:00.000-04:00What an interesting blog.
