The Devil’s Stone: Shebbear’s Ritual to Keep Evil Away | Thursday Thrills
From Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween · 15:19
Show by Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert
The Devil’s Stone in Shebbear, Devon, has an annual appointment: every November 5, bellringers turn the boulder in a ritual said to keep misfortune away. Henrique Couto follows the bells and crowbars into stories of St Michael, a stone that wouldn’t stay put, and a wartime delay that troubled the village. Why keep turning it when even longtime participants can’t explain how the custom began? Explore dark folklore, British legends, and the people who keep an eerie tradition alive. Halloween may be over, but this Thursday Thrills leaves one last question waiting in the dark: what might be underneath?Bonus episodes & support: https://weeklyspooky.com/joinMore scary stories: https://weeklyspooky.com/Story submissions: [email protected]
