Believe it
or Not?

Folklore, Witchcraft and Magical Thinking from the North York Moors, Coast and Cleveland

The North York Moors and surrounding hills, dales and coast are rich in folklore, legend and magical thinking. Stories passed down and elaborated over generations often hold sprinklings of truth and fascinating glimpses into past lives. They offer insights into the thoughts, rituals and fears of our ancestors.

Believe It Or Not? – a splendidly illustrated collection of stories of the area – offers new perspectives and plenty of surprises!
