Welcome in. First time here, pull up a chair; if you’re back again, you already know the fire stays lit. I’m Clive Gilson, and this is Tales From the World’s Firesides, where old legends and strange bits of folklore get a proper airing. Today’s story is a chilling Manx classic: The Moddey Doo, the Black Dog of Peel Castle, so if you like your tales with a touch of shadow, you’re in the right place. This version is adapted from Sophia Morrison’s Manx Fairy Tales (David Nutt, London, 1911).
If it makes you smile, shiver, or think of a story you grew up hearing, stick around, there’s plenty more. You can find my full folklore collections at clivegilson.com, or on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/4kVf92t. And if you enjoyed the tale, hit like, subscribe, and share it with a friend who loves eerie, magical stories; it genuinely helps. Catch you in the next one.
