THE FERRYMAN (noun)

   Old.


An older name for the Misery-Maker known as the ARCHANGEL. There are records of it going back to the Greeks and the Egyptians, where they would see "apparitions" of their dead ones. There are also records of other sightings of a man in a Nijmegen Helmet. This appears to have been replaced by more modern masks and finally a gas mask during World War I.

   Example: in the end, as he died, he was finally led across the river by the Ferryman.


Other terms: the Archangel, the Angel of Death, Osiris, Thanatos, the Resurrection Man (old).
