Northern Folklore Archive is a duo of oddity-lovers who seek all things mysterious and unknown. Our mission is to document as much folklore from the North of the U.K. as humanly possible. In the photo, you will see the one of us who has a face (it is unknown whether the other member does) and she is called Holly. The unknown member is… well.. unknown.

You will find a whole treasure trove of folklore stories in The Archive, and this will be constantly added to. We also post these stories, amongst other amusing folklore-themed posts on our Instagram.

Weirdos assemble!

Holly, the one with a face, loves to illustrate weird stuff. The kind of stuff that got her bullied in high school. If you, too, are a weirdo who loves UFOs, Bigfoot, Mothman, skeletons, anatomical hearts, demons… you get the idea… then the Northern Folklore Archive online shop is for you!

Northern Folklore Archive takes Holly’s weird illustrations to various different markets to seek out other weirdos who may want to help support by purchasing a Mothman print to hang on their wall, or a demon birthday card for a friend.

If you like weird stuff, firstly you are in the right place. Secondly, check out our online store and snag yourself something weird! You’d be helping support Northern Folklore Archive directly, as all funds generated go straight back into our project.
