welcome to

my world…

Please close the door behind you
and step softly into the dark…

Curious.

Gothic.

Grounded.

I’m Corvus Celticus, and this is my Northern Ireland-based storytelling channel, where I explore history, folklore, graveyards, old churches, forgotten places and the strange stories hidden in plain sight.

I’m drawn to the places people often walk past without a second thought… weathered headstones, ruined churches, quiet graveyards, old paths, and forgotten corners where history still lingers.

Through original footage, research, voiceover, and editing, I try to tell these stories in a way that feels atmospheric, thoughtful, and respectful. Some are eerie, some are tragic, and some are simply fascinating… but all of them deserve to be told with care.

This is local history with a gothic edge: rooted in place, shaped by history, and always approached with respect for the people and communities connected to it.
