Let’s begin, shall we?
The Isle of Man’s Ghostly Guardian
Did you know that the Isle of Man is home to the Moddey Dhoo, a spectral black dog said to haunt Peel Castle? Legend tells of a shadowy beast with glowing eyes, silently watching from the castle ruins. Centuries ago, a foolish soldier tried to confront the creature—he was found dead by morning, his face frozen in horror. Some say the Moddey Dhoo still lingers there today… watching.
Step inside the Museum of Witchcraft on the Isle of Man For more eerie history, explore my latest blog post, where we dive into the haunted relics and occult artifacts hidden in one of the world's most infamous collections that was house on the Isle of Man initially. And be sure to check out my YouTube video on the Museum in Boscastle today.
Folk Horror Picks of the Month
Want to set the perfect folk horror mood? Here are this month’s must-read and must-watch recommendations:
Book: The Ritual by Adam Nevill – Deep in the Scandinavian wilderness, something ancient and vengeful stalks a group of lost hikers. If you love The Wicker Man and The Blair Witch Project, this novel will chill you to the bone.
Film: The Blood on Satan’s Claw (1971) – When a demonic presence awakens in a rural English village, the town's youth fall under its spell. A chilling tale of pagan possession, hysteria, and sacrifice—folk horror at its finest.
What’s Next?
In the next issue, we’ll explore The Eeerie Legend of the Cornwall Imps and uncover another forgotten folk horror gem.
