The Souter Seawolf: Terror on the Tyne Journey with us to the fog-shrouded shores of northeast England, where a terrifying legend was born in the shadows of the Souter Lighthouse. In 1872, a group of miners encountered a beast so horrifying it would haunt their coastal community for generations. Was the Souter Seawolf a monster from the depths, a case of mass hysteria, or something even more sinister? Dive into this chilling tale of unexplained deaths, mysterious howls, and a creature that defies explanation. From Lewis Carroll's curious connection to the tragic fate of young Amy Coward, this episode of Folklore Shudders unravels the mystery of the Souter Seawolf. Listen... if you dare. British and UK Cryptid series
