Wild

Huntsman is found in the folklore of almost all Teutonic nations. He and his hunt come along generally between Christmas and Epiphany, his train being filled with the ghosts of drunkards, suicides, malefactors, etc. When he comes to a cro -road, he falls and gets up on the other side of his horse. The ‘ noise ’ of the hunt is probably due to the flight of geese or redwings. The original huntsman was Woden.
