Description
Part of UK Ghost Story Festival 2026
What horrors haunt Derbyshire’s moors, caves, and villages? This talk explores how the county’s terrain, folklore, and literature converge to form a distinct regional Gothic, where ghosts, rogues and devils linger in story and place. Drawing on church records, funerary customs and folktales, the research examines how Gothic writers have reimagined Derbyshire’s manors and moorlands, crafting settings of dread and revelation that continue to manifest in the Gothic imagination.
