Hi! I'm currently conducting some research on the Witch of the Wookey Hole for my MA in Folklore studies. It would be really great if you could fill in the survey.

The Flying Dutchman may be folklore, but real sailors claimed sightings well into the 20th century. Prince George of Wales (later King George V) recorded seeing the glowing ghost ship in 1881 while serving in the Royal Navy. #FolkloreThursday

Still one of my very favourite books to work on and perfect for today's #FolkloreThursday theme - Treasury of Folklore: Seas and Rivers. Packed full of fabulous sea-lore and tales, and can we take a moment to appreciate the stunning cover by Joe McLaren?
