Sweet Jesus, that "Celtic" page. What on earth gives the stupid the idea that Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Cornish and Breton people are so innocent and full of notions that we'd really believe bells kept away evil spirits! (Apart from the fact that in the time referenced by the "Celtic" nonsense, bells were not hung in towers but were rung by hand, and sounded like cowbells, gdonk, gdonk, gdonk. Wiping tears of laughter from my eyes.
