The Skirrid's 180 Hanged Men I Unquiet Britain

The Skirrid in Monmouthshire is a broken mountain, and local tradition says it split at the moment of the crucifixion. Its soil was once carried away to bless churches and coffins, and persecuted Catholics climbed to the ruined chapel of St Michael on the summit to hear Mass. At the foot of the mountain, the Skirrid Mountain Inn claims 180 men were hanged from the beam above its stairwell. This video climbs the holy mountain, then asks what the records actually support about the pub below it. #folklore #welshfolklore #darkhistory #hauntedbritain #skirrid
