[93] When a person, young or old, is dying, near relatives must not call
out their names in case the soul may come back from the spirit world.
A similar belief still lingers, especially among women, in the
Lowlands. The writer was once present in a room when a child was
supposed to be dying. Suddenly the mother called out the child's name
in agonized voice. It revived soon afterwards. Two old women who had
attempted to prevent "the calling" shook their heads and remarked:
"She has done it! The child will never do any good in this world after
being called back." In England and Ireland, as well as in Scotland,
the belief also prevails in certain localities that if a dying person
is "called back" the soul will tarry for another twenty-four hours,
during which the individual will suffer great agony.
