Hi Frances,
I went to Lexicon Bookshop last week to purchase a copy of that Curiosities booklet you mentioned, and they did not have a copy.... will have to try further I guess.

I understand Charles Guard has put out a couple of videos on Curiosities of IOM also but as I dont have facilities to view them, I am not sure what is on them.

Curiosities I guess they may be, however, I wonder where they originate from ... I doubt that Ann Moore or Charles Guard plucked them out of the sky.... or made them up just for the sake of it. I guess it is a bit like some of the material which AW Moore gathered on Folklore, myths, legends, witchcraft, fairies, broganes, and the like...

Its fun anyway sorting out fact from fiction...or at least attempting to..

Thanks again for your comments.

Elizabeth
