Ankou

By Crusader1307

An Ancient Celtic legend tells of The ''Ankou''. As the story goes, the last person to pass away in a Parish  is elected by the Spirits to spend the next year gathering the soul's of that year. They are then replaced by the next last dead person of that year (and so forth). The Ankou is shown wearing a large hooded cloak. It's face is not seen. The Ankou drives a large spectral carriage with matching horses. If a member of the living is unfortunate enough to see The Ankou, he (or she) will let out a horrible scream. This legend can be traced back to the 14th Century.
