What creatures and ghouls can be found in England's folklore and mythology? Black Dogs, Ghosts, Goblins, Faeries, Sprites and Big Cats lurk in our forests, marshes and hills and lakes. This list of 25 creatures will give you a good overview of what the English people believed and in many cases still believe regarding our folklore.

The Jolly Reiver is my project aiming to preserve and promote the forgotten folklore and history of rural Britain. Primarily focusing on folklore and legends, you’ll not find me trying to deconstruct these old stories or trying to rationalise them with science and psychology. Instead I will present them as they were always told by our forebears, and leave the conclusions up to you. Videos are filmed on location to show you exactly where these stories took place.

The types of creatures, entities and spirits discussed here are universal within all traditional cultures. They exist in liminal states, which are inaccessible to the mind that has been clouded by modern “education” and stifled by materialism. Jolly Reiver reminds us that they do exist, and to encounter them we must connect with the wisdom of our ancestors.

For example, I know that Will o’ Wisps are likely just swamp gas exploding, however it is fascinating to hear the explanation for this rare occurrence that my ancestors believed. These aren’t silly stories. They are the most ancient explanations of things we now know more about. Your mindset is quite frankly disrespectful to the people who came up with these stories which would go on to change the English culture entirely. Stop living such a boring life and appreciate these looks into the mindset of ancient people.

My mother was born in 1925, Cienfuegos, Cuba. She always told me of an occurrence when she was 4 yrs old out with her older sisters, in a field. Her sisters report she took off running and running yelling about “the children!” She ran until she rounded a tree, and then began to cry inconsolably. When questioned, she said they were a boy and a girl, a little older than her, who beckoned for her to follow. She did until they rounded the tree and disappeared! Her sisters never saw the children, and my mother never forgot them until her dying day…

Tolkien got the idea of the Dwarves from and perhaps even Carcharoth, the demon wolf /werewolf who guarded the Gates of Angaband and bit off Beren's hand while holding one of the Silmaril and was subsequently driven mad. TY for this, it was fascinating. Got a new sub : ]

I love stories surrounding folklore and myths even now as an adult. Where I live there is a story about a ‘Vampiric spirit’ that loitered around the local church. It resembled a huge Bat and shrieked through the tombstones and attacked a local woman. I didn’t know about Herne the Hunter, have been going to Windsor since I was a kid as it’s not far from home.

Thank you Mr Reiver! The other videos on youtube about this subject are a bit annoying to say the least, but you've done a brilliant and atmospheric job here! It's also only right that the folklore of England should be honoured and seen as distinct from the other countries within the UK. I got shivers from wandering through the woods with that beautiful tune playing at the start! I have often found myself alone on the moors and i'm sure the brown men must inhabit all moorlands, as his presence is obvious sometimes. I've also seen willo the wisps as i lived close to marshlands as a bairn. You know what shocked me the most though,, no fairies!

Reiver, let me tell you - the quality of this video is fantastic. The length, thumbnail and quality of this are going to draw people in. You explore these creatures with the perfect amount of length. This video I see doing well long term and drawing in new viewers. Every once and a while I think you should do one of these "X number of creatures/hauntings/stories" etc or "top (x number)" type-videos such as this one, as I think they will do very well for you. I do look forward to more in-person storytelling style videos as well though. Can't wait for more, until then, this is a fantastic video. Also - love the cinematography at the beginning with the forest and the leaves.

I've travelled the "hairy hands" road countless times. It leads to a remote, cosy little pub which I frequent. I wonder if people returning from the pub after a few too many may account for some of the stories, but, while I've never seen the hands, I've certainly had experiences. I, and others have seen a small black thing, like a dog, but not quite (looked a little more like a stereotypical "devil", or even a grey alien, in form), running on the road or across the moor. Another time I was in a field by the road and heard a man whistle, as if to get my attention, from a nearby bog with a few trees. I got a terrible feeling of malevolence and literally ran back to the car. It sounded like a recording, and there wasn't any way for someone to hide in the bog or behind the small trees.

Good ta see the knuckler dragon being mentioned. When I first saw knuckler in the description, I thought it might just be an abbreviation of the name Knucklavee. For those who don't know what a knucklavee is, it is decribed as skinless horse with the torso of a skinless rider fused to the middle of the back, the riders arms are so long the knuckles of each hand touch the floor while leaning up straight. It's described sometimes to only have 3 glowing eyes, one in the horses forehead and two in the riders face. They live along the coastline and will hunt unsuspecting travelers, dragging them into the sea to eat. And some say that it is a form of the old school elf, which makes sense since for a long time elves where seen as monsters before becoming the pretty faces we see in todays media.

The lead vaulted a fence and landed before me, but the second slunk into the shadows and began to growl and snarl at me. I held my ground and made myself look big, and eventually it left. As for the Beast of Bodmin Moor, Big Cat stories are common in the UK, and have been becoming increasingly so recently, especially in the penines and lake district.

It’s Ryan again, I meant to tell you I live in Saint Augustine Florida and the very first thing that you have on this list I have had encounters with twice within the last month or so. My general feeling was that of apprehension. It was a blue to white glow that intensified with its movement, and when she would stop, she would start to fade and flicker a little. I live in a pretty, wooded kind of swampy area as a matter of fact, now that you mentioned it.

I come from Devon and it is a hotbed of paranormal and strange. Look up the Devil's Footprints if you want a good story.

The Black Dog, Shuck, is also associated with the Wash fenlands of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. The story goes back a long way. Shuck derives from Old English Scuccan [pronounced Shuck-kah] meaning devil; which may itself derive from “skôgr”, meaning corpse, in Old Norse.
