The Manx Glashtin
About this episode
This episode explores the complexities of defining the Manx Glashtin and the nature of folkloric creatures.
Who is the manx Glasthin? Water horse? Sex pest? Helpful hand? Scary goblin? All of them? In this episode we look at how tricky it is to define folkloric creatures and how the magic of folklore is in tracing similarities between other creatures and understanding that before folktales were ever written down, they were shared within communities and families!
