Lord Soulis
is believed to be a vampiric witch lurking on the Hermitage Castle found in
Roxboroughshire, England. People said
that he made a pact with the devil on the 14th Century. He was said to be a large man that is often
seen with his companion he called Robin Redcap, a blood drinking imp.
He is known
to be corrupt and took advantage of his power as the Lord of the land. He would constantly inflict pain and
humiliate people tormenting them from day to day. He is also held responsible for kidnapping
men and women and for torturing them inside the walls of his castle to aid him
in his magical rituals. The victims were
allegedly drained of blood and their bodies were used as a sacrifice for his
dark practices.
His
familiar which is the Red Robincap grant him the ability to withstand any
attack of steel or rope. The legend of
his exploit reach the King and they decided to conduct an investigation. Lord Soulis was found guilty of conspiracy
against Robert Bruce. He spent the rest
of his life inside the Dumbarton Castle.
When he died people thought that the phantom of the lord is still
accompanied by his loyal familiar.
An 18th
century ballad dedicated to Lord Soulis, but the accounts were different from
what really happened. It states that the
Lord has been overrun by the villagers and was dragged to the Druid’s Circle
where he met his end. The song said that
the lord has been boiled by the people with lead. The lead encased his body and
he was wrapped with a body sheet. He was
then buried to a secret location hoping that no one would be able to discover
the evil man.
