The Folklore of Standing Stones, Megaliths, and Menhirs

Fabulous Folklore with Icy

There's something awesome yet eerie about encountering a standing stone in the landscape. Why is it there? Who put it there? And how did they put it there? The fact we can't often answer these questions helps add to their mystery.

That absence of knowledge creates a vacuum that folklore is only too happy to fill. Speculation runs rife with these stones.

Let's take a look at the folklore of some of these standing stones in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore.
