Hello all, hope you're doing well!
My name is Jowan, and I run a page promoting the myths, legends and haunts of Dartmoor and South Devon. Currently I am in a lull in my masters, and have decided to collate information, stories and experiences on the themes to write a book. However, I realised that there are several gaps, and little in other areas!
So, if you have any myths, legends, hauntings, weird tales (alien, paranormal, conspiracy, the occult, whatever!) and any other folklore to do with Tedburn St Mary and the surrounding area, please either message me, comment here or send an email to [email protected].
I've been starting to collate them and have realised that several areas have got very little mention or stories so far - so please let me know your experiences or stories - can be anything under that blanket umbrella of 'paranormal' and the above categories (I am interested in lesser known folklore too!).
So let's get the voices of your towns and areas heard!
**Your stories and/or experiences will be credited unless you do not want me to, in the book!**
