Episode 23 – The Nuckelavee: Scotland’s Skinless Sea Demon

Far north, on the storm-lashed shores of the Orkney Islands, legends tell of something far worse than any storm. A skinless horse-demon, fused with a human rider, that crawls from the sea bringing plague, famine, and death.

This is the Nuckelavee — “Devil of the Sea” — a nightmare so feared that islanders whispered its name only in hushed tones. Some say it was born from Norse and Celtic fears colliding, others that it was an explanation for disease, drought, and disaster. But for Orkney’s people, the Nuckelavee was no metaphor. It was terror, fleshless and relentless, waiting in the dark waves.

In this episode, we uncover the folklore, the chilling survivor’s tale, and the strange truths hidden in Orkney’s haunted past.
