A Fantastic video!! I'm really proud to have worked on this and enjoyed getting a chance to share these stories from my home county with a different audience. This is a great start to a much needed series examining the stories from every corner of Britain! Thank you @TheJollyReiver for giving me an opportunity to be a part of it!

I’ve walked around the ruins of Harbottle castle and also trecked up to the Drake Stone while in the area a month or so back. Fantastic spot. There are so many hidden gems scattered around the Scottish/English borders like in this video. We are so lucky to have what’s around us and your videos just remind me every time. Thanks for the fantastic work.

If you like phantom bunnies watch the movie "Harvey" (1950) with Jimmy Stewart and Josephine Hull. She won an Oscar for it, the original play won a Pulitzer prize.

It’s lovely to some some local folklore. The chillington family still own some parts of my village (I enquired to local farmers why they were blocked off). A curious family if I say so. Thanks so much for this, lads! My mum grew up in Bilston and her mum (a very skeptical women) said till the day she died a spirit got into bed with her one night when they lived in a church yard. Maybe the fairies mentioned in the video?

As a Staffycher mon born and bred, I loved this video. Some of the tales, obviously, I knew already, but others are new to me. One small quibble regards the 'hand of glory', which differes from what that term usually means. A dead man's hand, yes, but with wicks of wax and animal fur on each finger. Prepared with various spells and curses, it was believed to aid burglars; they'd recite a spell having lit the wicks and it was believed to put the occupants of the house being burgled into a trance. As for Billie Howe, there's an owd story as sum on 'is mates were gooin' past 'im on the gibbet one night, an' one on 'em called ahrt, askin' 'ow he bist (he was). To which 'e replied, "Cowd an' clammy, yer dom fool, cowd an' clammy. Wodjer think ah'd be?" (Forgive the temptation to lapse into local dialect. )
