The Black Stag (Halloween Special Pt. 2)

Strange Truths and Tall Tales: Product of Newfoundland

21-10-2024 • 14 mins

Halloween is getting closer and Newfoundland has no shortage of seasonally appropriate stories.

This instalment features an old folktale set near St. Bride’s, NL. It concerns a strange black Stag seen on the roadside and a series of unexplained deaths that plagues a family soon afterward.


Continuing on with the theme, I share some legends of other ghostly creatures from Newfoundland, starting with the headless ghost dog of Elliston.
