Brag (folklore) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Brag (folklore) A brag is a creature from the folklore of Northumberland and Durham that usually takes 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, afterward 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 naked headless man, and even four men carrying a sheet. Some well-known brags are said to live at Picktree (where it was called the ''Picktree Brag''〔''Notes on the folk-lore of the northern counties of England and the borders'' By William Henderson, 1866, page 233.〕) and Humbleknowe.〔Simpson, Jacqueline. ''A Dictionary of English Folklore'', Oxford University Press 2000. ISBN 978-0-19-210019-1〕 There is also another similar shape-shifter in Northumbrian folklore, the Hedley Kow. ==References==
