The Curse of Tiddy Mun – Britain’s Forgotten Marsh Spirit…

In the quiet waterways and forgotten corners of the English wetlands… there are stories that don’t quite sit comfortably in the past. This is a wander through the marshlands of Lincolnshire — a place where folklore, history and the natural world blur together… where whispers of something older still seem to linger just beneath the surface. For generations, the people of the fens spoke of the Tiddy Mun — a small, unseen spirit said to guard the waters and the delicate balance of the land. Treat the marsh with respect… and all would be well. But when the wetlands were drained in the name of progress… the stories took a darker turn. This is a tale of landscape and loss. Of old beliefs, quiet rituals… and a warning that perhaps some places were never meant to be changed. And as we walk these paths today — past canals, fields and reclaimed land — it raises a question… Did the spirits vanish with the marshes? Or did we simply stop listening? ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Curse of Tiddy Mun 02:43 Wanderlust Way channel intro 04:16 The people of the fens (The Marsh People) 06:49 Respect the Tiddy Mun 09:54 Calling on the spirit/rituals 12:32 The engineers - draining the wetlands 16:29 The Curse 19:53 The night of apology 24:58 Preservation of old stories & folklore - history of the Tiddy Mun 28:59 A modern explanation?
