Ely is not named after eels although the fact Christianity claimed it was them that done so is no surprise. Élig is anglo saxon for higher. Hence ely is actually named quite sensibly from the simple fact its higher. Yet another example of the church making it up as they go along
Great video. Respect from Ireland.
Is the narrator AI?
Awesome video. Could you recommend some serious book on British folklore, if possible related to woodlands.
Turned monks into eels: show us the proof!
Clearly a bunch of unshaven Bouvier des Flandres startling people wily nilly 😁
Did you ever follow up on shuck? Its a wonderful story
Generations of family from the Fenns,I'm going for the first time to England this year. Staying in ely ,but my peaple were mostly from Mepal and Sutton. Great video.
This was neat! You should post it to some Lovecraft fangroups
Had a Mimirs Brunner feel to it--very well done...Long and good health to you from Texas, brother!
Surely Cambridgeshire is in east anglia!
This is really well done!
To celebrate the 1000th subscriber to this channel, today we release The Mire, a short Lovecraftian narrative art film a year in the making. Thank you all for your continued support to this channel!
My family in Belize, formally British Honduras, have told me similar stories which seem to be local beliefs of the Mayan community. My uncle was deer hunting with two Mayan guides when they heard dogs barking. The guides told him to hide behind a fallen tree and stay quiet. My uncle clearly heard dogs pass, but there seemed to be no evidence of their passing. The guides told him that those are the hunting dogs of "El Dueño del Monte," The Lord of the Forest. If you see the dogs you will have to join the hunt and never be seen again.
If it was a pure invention they would have made it larger. Its rearing up and feeding on rabbits and casting forth venom makes it sound like a cobra. It could have been an exotic brought over as part of a private collection of exotics that then got free.
Howdy from Texas! Well told story mate, enjoyed the pictures as the story played out even moreso--some of those of the Ely Cathedral were very neat! Although those of Hereward always outshine the rest! Long and good health to you !🏴
how did I not know this channel , great videos
How wonderful and informative….I’m looking forward to another video on the black dog legends!
Hello 😀, I Really enjoyed this video! I just love reading about old British witchcraft, its incredibly fascinating.... especially around Devonshire.

I may be the only person alive with photographic proof of a black dog grim, gravetender...taken Aug.2021, then before winter about 100 black dogs but different than the 7ft tall 300lb very bright red glowing eyes dog these more of a spirit dog, bright yellow eyes with black slash or pupils, eyes do glow right before sunset but they are orange for about 2 hrs after sunset then the glow turns to the common green and yellow all night..I have 1 facial photo of hellhound, 3 of its eyes right before attack.. some photos of new hybrid coi and old Gresham greys- that my parents and their friends used to hunt back in 70"s,-82..apparently they did#n't kill all of em and they're back I n huge numbers ×
I remember telling the story of The Lady Lovibond to my young daughter before 1978. I also informed the BBC. Nothing apparently was seen and I missed any mention of it in 1998.
The Romans 1st successful invasion was 43 AD not 43 BC.
When I was a kid (about 40 years ago) I think there was a tourist information film showing Barnard Castle and it was quite scary. I mentioned the murder holes and so on. Male narrator. I wish I could find it and see it again.
I like Hellhounds my favorite Hellhounds are the Wolf Hellhounds and I like The Black Shuck Wolves too. I also like The Creepypasta Series and I like The Creepypasta Characters Jeff Smile Jane Laughing Jack Ben Sally and their friends father Slenderman and their archenemy Zalgo and I like Jeff x Jane and I like Jeff and Smile always together in The Creepypasta Series and Jeff and Smile are the main protagontists of The Creepypasta Series.
I was born in Ely so this is very interesting
Very concise with a lot of good detail. Thank you.
I saw him once when i was 12. I was camping with my friend in his parents garden. We lived in Suffolk, but im now living in Australia.
I know someone whose mum dad and her all saw it near Mersea
I live in Ely. Have recently walked the area from which William the conqueror laid siege to Ely. You can still see the raised ground used as a port used by him to bring in material to conduct the battle. Seems to me the place is full of history but no one seems to want to celebrate it.
Sleafordian here. Lots of interesting places.
That Tudor man at 7:24 is definitely not High Bigod
So much history behind this story too..
Very nice! Will this be in color? :)
Yes, it is in colour and B/W!
"Brain-Biter" is a fantastic name for a sword lol
I hope you continue your work, I love to hear about legends and myths especially from the UK.
Please, please, PLEASE....Get things correct. The Normans did not fight or conquer the Saxons. At the time of the invasion they were then known as the Englisc.
All i can see is the language not the people being called that, besides a far right group claiming so
@@joesinclair8910 the term "far right" has lost all meaning these days
@@ryan.1990 ill just say white supremecist or neo nazi in the future to avoid hurting your feelings then.
@@joesinclair8910 I'm lost. At the time of the Norman Conquest, Billy is right in saying it was not the Saxons as they had come from continental Europe a good 5-600 years prior to this, so there would of been a mixture of who was here before and the Saxons, aka the Anglo-Saxons who are quite widely regarded as the beginning of what is known as England. How does the far right/neo nazi/white supremacist thing fit into this?
I just wanted to say that this was a really great video, and I really enjoyed it! Keep it up and I can't wait for more great videos!
If I’m correct can’t you find black shuck in AC Valhalla
Yes you can he’s considered a legendary animal you fight
Live on the edge of the Fens. I loved the tone of this video and the imagery. Fantastic work x
You go You cute Brittish or European 👦. I mean you look just as your voice sounds. Incredible stories & docs. I think I listen to you on maybe 2 other channels. Thanks 4 taking time sharing.
Another fenboy here.....Interesting one.....
Chatteris here
Great stuff. As always
You've got to do more and more! Subbed
Great channel, I hope you do more videos
just so you know, its pronounced "Bungy" around here
❤️
Ayyyyyy Bungy. I used to swim for Beccles Kingfishers and go the peck's fish n chips. Got i miss there fish n chips, we dont have good fish n chips here in Australia 🥺
@@Deadshilz yeah fish and chips is one of the UK staples. Its so good though. If you ever go to great Yarmouth next time you come here try the market chips at a place called brewers you can't get much better than that.
@@vibinbrb i grew up Lowestoft for 15years then i moved here with my rents. We would go to the Yarmouth markets atleast once a fortnight to get chips with cockles with white pepper and also get mushie peas from Gary and his son Ben. They knew my family very well in the markets. We would also go to Norwich once a month for burger king. Good memories.
Can't wait to see the big project
I read from somewhere that the Black Shuck can sometimes appear headless and still give out its terrible roaring bark.
I've got headphones on and that door slam scared the brown stuff out of me ..Good vid ..
