 In this debut episode of Myth, Mystery, Lore and History, I delve into the dark and fascinating folklore surrounding Eagle’s Crag (also known locally as Bill Knipe)—a striking rock formation looming over Todmorden Vale in West Yorkshire, near the border with Lancashire. Uncover two eerie tales steeped in British witchcraft lore: The Loynd Wife and Lady Sybil of Bernshaw Tower. Both stories are deeply rooted in the landscape around Todmorden and Cliviger, weaving together myth, memory, and historical fragments from a time when superstition ruled the hills. After exploring the origins and historical context of these local legends, the episode closes with a chilling encounter with Shrieker, or Splash—a spectral black hound said to haunt Cliviger Gorge. We also take a look at some curious folk remedies and superstitions once practiced in Todmorden Vale during the 1920s. If you’re fascinated by Northern English folklore, mythical creatures, witch stories, and local legends of Yorkshire and Lancashire, this episode is the perfect place to start your journey. 🎧 Subscribe for new episodes every week as together we will explore the forgotten tales and strange histories that shaped Britain’s mystical landscape.
