A Guide to the Folklore Sites of the Isle of Man

The launch event of the ground-breaking new book of Manx folklore.

The authors discuss the background of the project and the process of creating it, as well as sharing some of their favourite and telling sites.
These folklore sites are located all over the Isle of Man and include holy wells, fairy caves, giant’s rocks, ghost bridges, and the creepiest place the authors have ever visited.
This talk gives a picture of five years’ worth of research into over 400 folklore sites around the Island, and offers a unique and surprising insight into the treasures within ‘A Guide to the Folklore Sites of the Isle of Man.’

This talk was delivered by James Franklin and Katie Newton at the Peel Centenary Centre on Oie'll Vreeshey, 31 January, 2024.
