 Scottish folklorist J. F. Campbell collected from a woman living on the Calf of Man the southern Manx lore concerning the glashan.She describes a being who assists as a farmhand, performing tasks of rounding up sheep from the fold, or thresh stalks of corn if left unbundled – qualities elsewhere ascribed to the fenodyree.One intriguing anecdote is of a glashan who caught a girl by getting a tight griphold of her dress.
