The Seven Whistlers

On this day in 1909, journalist John Cotton attempted, in the Bromsgrove Messenger, to unravel the sinister legend of the Seven Whistlers. Cotton reminded his readers that the Whistlers had long been a sign of ill omen. To hear one Whistler meant a death in the family; four meant famine or pestilence and six meant earthquakes or some other physical disaster. In truth, the Seven Whistlers are a well established piece of folklore common across the breadth of the British Isles: at sea they were held to be the mournful spirits of drowned sailors; on land they were believed to be the malign ghosts of deceased children, and the more whistlers that were heard, the greater the calamity that they prophesied. It is generally accepted that these folk tales of supernatural crying probably originated in the eerie call of curlews. Although in modern times the notion of death-foretelling whistling spirits has been largely discredited, there remains a belief that curlews are indeed birds of misfortune and best avoided. In Scotland, the gloomy curlew is known as the whaup and was held to be a curve-beaked goblin, who would swoop down and carry off the unwary.

John Cotton’s interest in the Whistlers may have been promoted by the fact a favourite haunt of the mysterious doom-foretellers are the Lickey Hills near Bromsgrove, also allegedly frequented by Satan and his huntsman companion, Harry-ca-nab.

the mountain goats make great songs about grief. “this is a song for you in case I never make it through to where you are” and ”she told me how you’d died at last, at last and that morning at the race track was the one thing I remembered” and “its changed since you were here or else it hasn’t it was special it was deadly it was ours and then it wasn’t” and “this song is for the rats who hurled themselves into the ocean when they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold were just about to blow”

“This is a song about things that you infuse too much of yourself into so that when you have to see them destroyed, or forget where they went, it gets to count as a greater loss than it otherwise might have. If you suffer from a certain type of neurosis-slash-mental-illness, this is a very appealing process to you, i.e. me."
