I remember being read a children's story in school about these knockers that were imps and they ate cornish pasties. I've been searching for it but I guess it must be based on this folklore

I live in Cornwall and I've heard the stories and love this content. I would love to see a discussion on druids as well as the legend of gelert the dog that saved a baby from a wolf.

@FabulousFolklore 4 года назад

I can definitely do something on that!

Thank you for the knockers. Last time I searched for information about knockers soem 15 years ago I learned that it was very important to add Cornish to the search.

@FabulousFolklore 3 года назад

Oh I can imagine the search results!

Hello from Western Pennsylvania, First video I've seen Well done ^_^ . I'm researching Goblins and what makes a goblin a goblin. I saw many people saying they are a similar creature but it seems they are more of a cross between a brownie and gnome or dwarf. The ghost angle is fascinating though.

@FabulousFolklore 3 года назад

Yeah, the 'fairy creature' family tree is pretty confusing!

I live in New Jersey, about 40 minutes from NYC. When I redid my studio, and wanted to run the air conditioning out to it I was told I needed a tin knocker to extend the duct work. I assumed a tin knocker was someone who fabricated ducts. Now I'm wondering what they thought a tin knocker is! LOL

Oh wow!

I've never even heard of them before. Just found your channel and I am thoroughly enjoying your content. Keep it up!

@FabulousFolklore 4 года назад

Thank you! Anything you'd like to learn about?

@@FabulousFolklore I enjoy the folklore that is foreign to me so I can't say what I don't know yet. However, I don't know if you've done videos on latin folklore such as: la Chusa, la llarona, El cucuy, or El chupa cabra. Any of these might give you some good content. Cheers!
