Things that go bump in the night

All Hallow's Eve is on the way - and here's a little charm to keep unwanted guests away!

It's a useful old chant, charm, spell, prayer, petition or ... litany (you name it!) to recite if you hear a disturbing bump in the night!  I have seen this poem in so many different versions that I'm afraid I can't credit the original author, but here is Dartmoor's Litany to keep away the creatures of the night.

Give this little protection charm a try .... and best to say it three times.

Dartmoor's Litany

From Wizards and Buzzards,
And Long Tailed Lizards,
And things that creep,
Through other folks hedges,
GOOD LORD DELIVER US

Another version of this litany

From ghoulies and ghosties;
And long-leggity beasties,
And things that go bump in the night.    
Good Lord deliver us!
