THE BUCKLAND SHAG

English Folklore
Demon/Spirit

A demon that manifests itsElf in the shape of a water horse in the folklore of Buckland in Devon, England. In this location, indelible red stains on a large rock were said to be the result of the BUCKLAND SHAG taking his victims there to be slain. Few people dared to venture into this vicinity alone for fear that they would encounter the BUCKLAND SHAG, until the vicar of Buckland exorcised the SPIRIT with bell, book and a candle.
