Ballafletcher Ghostly Goblet
Seafield House, Douglas
Seafield House in Douglas, Isle of Man, was once home to the infamous Ballafletcher Drinking Glass, a crystal goblet said to contain a protective spirit. This antique glass was believed to bring great luck to its owners, but with one condition: it had to be treated with reverence. Colonel Wilks, the cup's owner, would only use it twice a year, at Christmas and Easter, to give thanks to the goblet and its spirit. The glass was said to be so precious that if it were broken, misfortune would follow.
