After reigning for less than a decade, King Oswald of Northumbria was slain within the Welsh Marches in 642AD. Accoridng to lore, one of his severed arms was later seized by an eagle/raven who dropped it & caused a spring to emerge. This later became St. Oswalds Well

The mischievous household fairy is known by many names across the Welsh border, from Bwgan to Boogie, Bwbach to Hobgoblin. These supernatural creatures were known to help with chores in return for a bowl of cream. In some regions they took the shape of a cricket #folkloresunday

The Devil has always been one for theatre. In Shrewsbury lore he once appeared during the interlude of Doctor Faustus with his appearance so abominable that both actors & audience were driven into prayer. Any Devil part in theatre since still creates apprehension #Folklore
