Dylan Knight

Dylan is originally from Sheffield where he was introduced to a book on local folklore originally printed in 1885. This sparked his interest in local tales of ghosts, boggarts, and other fantastic stories of what he later calls "The Otherwood".

Now a resident of Nottingham, Dylan seeks to share the wonderful and strange stories of not only the East Midlands of England, but also of Yorkshire, Great Britain, Ireland and occasionally.... the world!

He's not all weird tales and folk customs though, give the man a drink, a pie or a pizza and he'll be your friend for life!
