Fiends on the west coast! Have you had an encounter with this terrifying urban legend? We want to hear your story for our upcoming series, 🌊💀

As the story goes, an American couple were living on the base in Stephenville during WW2. They had a baby boy, and to their horror he was born with webbing between his fingers and toes. They decided to fly back to the States to have the webbing removed, but their plane crashed just outside of town and the parents were killed. The baby survived, and grew up to hunt and feed on children who go out wandering around the woods after nightfall. 😬🌲

Our search for NL’s most terrifying tales continues with the Red Eyes of Glovertown. Have you witnessed this evil gaze?

Down at the end of Angle Brook Road in Glovertown is the ruin of an old pulp and paper mill. Legend has it that during the mill’s construction, a worker fell to his death from one of the towers due to the lax safety conditions of the time. Or was he pushed? It’s said that to this day his red eyes haunt the plant, warding off partying teenagers and late-night trespassers by stalking them in the darkness until they flee.

We want to hear your experience! Reach out and you could be featured in , our new show coming to Bell this Fall, hosted by NL’s own spooky expert 💀🌊

A long time ago, an old woman refused to sell her land and became a thorn in the side of road workers in Flatrock, Newfoundland. Legend has it that she was murdered by the workers, her body disposed of in a nearby pond. Now, her spirit remains tethered to the land as she guards the stretch of Windgap road for eternity, seeking her vengeance. 🌊🧙‍♀️

Have YOU had an experience with the Windgap Witch? We want to hear about it! You could be featured in , a new show coming to Bell exploring the terrifying folklore of our island and its communities.

Have you had a similar experience? Get in touch and let’s talk terror for an upcoming grind project 👇🧚

“CARRIED OFF BY FAIRIES”

Via The Evening Telegram, in December of 1900.

“A resident of this city, who is subject to extraordinary hallucinations, was the other night, as he seriously states himself, “again carried off by fairies.” He left Water Street about 8 p m., having done his Xmas shopping and turned up Adelaide Street to go home, but, before he had reached New Gower Street, was surrounded by an army of fairies who hustled him along eastward. Though he passed hundreds of people, he could not see anyone until he reached Mount Carmel Cemetery. At this point he saw two men approaching and asked them with tears rolling down his cheeks to be kind enough to accompany him to his home. Having heard the man’s story, the good Samaritans saw him safely with his wife and family.

Strange as these facts may appear, they are none the less true. But stranger still is the knowledge that the subject of these few lines is a steady sober and industrious man, and in conversation expresses himself most intelligently, with sound, sensible remarks.

Some time ago, before the cold weather set in, he was similiarly afflicted, being led away in the Black Marsh Road direction, through bogs, marshes, rivers and heavy woods. On that occasion he was found by a farmer in an exhausted state: On the last occasion he barely had strength to reach home.
