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.
