Kisah dan tradisi

Pearlin Jean adalah nama hantu yang konon menghantui halaman Allanbank di Allanton, Berwickshire, Skotlandia, bekas lokasi rumah janda di tanah milik Blackadder House yang kini sudah dirobohkan. Namanya berasal dari renda "pearlin" yang menutupi tubuhnya menurut para saksi. Menurut legenda ia berasal dari Paris, kekasih Sir Robert Stewart (diangkat Baronet pada 1684). Saat Stewart pulang ke Skotlandia, Jean menghadang keretanya; Stewart menyuruh kusir terus melaju, dan roda kereta melindas dahinya hingga ia tewas. Kata-kata terakhirnya: "Aku akan tiba di Skotlandia sebelum kamu." Ketika pertama kali kembali ke tanah miliknya, sebelum 1697, Stewart melihatnya duduk di atas gerbang dengan darah menutupi kepala dan bahunya. Tujuh pendeta setempat gagal mengusirnya. Hantu itu membanting pintu, membuka jendela dan berjalan di rumah siang malam; lama-kelamaan wujudnya menjadi kerangka berbalut renda. Pada abad ke-18 Thomas Blackadder ketakutan saat menemuinya, dan pada 1790 para tamu perempuan terganggu suara langkah kaki. Legendanya diabadikan dalam lagu pada abad ke-19.

Pearlin Jean is the name of a ghost said to haunt the Allanbank Courtyard at Allanton, Berwickshire, Scotland, once the site of a dower house on the estate of the since-demolished Blackadder House. Witnesses gave her the name because she appeared clothed in 'pearlin' lace. Legend makes her a woman from Paris and the lover of Sir Robert Stewart, created a Baronet in 1684. When Stewart left for Scotland she stood in front of his carriage; he told the driver to keep going and the wheels crushed her forehead. Her final words were, 'I'll be in Scotland before you.' On Stewart's first return to the estate, before 1697, he saw her perched above the gateway with blood covering her head and shoulders. Seven local ministers failed to exorcise her. The ghost banged doors, opened windows and roamed the house at all hours, and in time took the form of a skeleton in lace. In the 18th century Thomas Blackadder was terrified on meeting her, and in 1790 lady guests were troubled by pacing footsteps. A 19th-century song preserved the legend.
