Brag (folklore)

A brag is a creature from the folklore of Northumberland and Durham that usually took the form of a horse or donkey. It is fond of tricking unwary wayfarers into riding on its back before throwing the rider into a pool of water or bush before running off laughing, much like the Bäckahästen (brook horse) or kelpie. The brag is also said to have appeared as a calf with a neckerchief, a headless man and even four men carrying a sheet. Some well-known brags are said to live at Picktree and Humbleknowe.

There is also another similar shape-shifter in Northumbrian folklore, the Hedley Kow.

Working as a Manager for Uhaul, when I do get spare time I sit with my ouija board, do as many paranormal investigations as I can, and research everything and anything paranormal. I am also very interested in railroads and model trains in general.
