What creatures and ghouls can be found in England's folklore and mythology? Black Dogs, Ghosts, Goblins, Faeries, Sprites and Big Cats lurk in our forests, marshes and hills and lakes.

Primarily focusing on folklore and legends, you’ll not find me trying to deconstruct these old stories or trying to rationalise them with science and psychology. Instead I will present them as they were always told by our forebears, and leave the conclusions up to you. Videos are filmed on location to show you exactly where these stories took place.
