Folk tales from these evocative landscapes, existing in the transitional space between land and sea.

About the event

The Fens and Carrs of Lincolnshire are unique, often bleak, and frequently

hazardous landscapes. Historically remote and challenging to access, it is perhaps

not surprising that a rich tapestry of folkloric and supernatural entities inhabits these

regions. Among these are witches who cast spells with a fireside poker, the Ignis

Fatuus that lures unsuspecting travellers to a watery death, and the Tiddy Mun, still

harbouring his resentment against the Dutch engineers who drained the Fen and

Carr lands in the 17th century, and a boggart in a coracle. This talk explores some of

the folk tales from these evocative landscapes, existing in the transitional space

between land and sea.
