🐺The Hull Werewolf (Folklore, Myth, and the Beast of Barmston Drain) - Deborah Hyde : 425🌟

In 2016, headlines across Britain screamed of a werewolf stalking Hull’s Barmston Drain — an 18th‑century canal turned urban legend. Locals claimed to have seen a half‑man, half‑beast prowling the area. The story went viral, reaching national papers, the Huffington Post, and even Alice Cooper’s social feed. But what really happened? How many witnesses were there — and what did they actually say? Was it folklore reborn, mass hysteria, or something stranger? This Sunday, The Amish Inquisition welcomes Deborah Hyde, folklorist, writer, and expert on the uncanny, to dissect the Hull Werewolf phenomenon amongst other weird happenings modern and ancient. She’ll explore how history, storytelling, and cultural memory shape modern monsters — and why tales like this still form part of the human psyche. Expect a dive into: The folkloric roots of British legends The psychology of eyewitness accounts How media amplification turns myth into modern mystery Why we believe the things we believe Join us live for an evening of folklore, skepticism, and the strange. 📅 Sunday, June 7 — 8:00 PM UK Time   📺 Watch live on The Amish Inquisition YouTube Channel Follow Deborah here: https://deborahhyde.com/ https://x.com/jourdemayne/ https://www.instagram.com/deborahhydefolklore/ https://www.facebook.com/DeborahHydeFolklore/?locale=en_GB https://www.youtube.com/@deborahhydefolklore _____________________________ Follow us here: https://allmylinks.com/the-amish-inquisition Sign up for the newsletter, join the community, follow us online, and most importantly share links!  Producer Credits for Ep 425:   Producers - Rhona Kesson, Mathew Chinn, Simon Mear, Allan Wilson, Sally Thompson and Helen From Berkshire _______________________________   Leave us a voicemail: 07562245894 Message us here....follow, like, subscribe and share.
