格洛斯特郡 斯特劳德
我是查理.库珀
I'm Charlie Cooper.
我是一名演员和编剧
I'm an actor and writer
英国的民俗让我越来越着迷
with a growing obsession for British folklore.
这本书是《英国民俗和神话传说》
This is the Folklore Myths And Legends Of Britain book,
它基本是英国民俗界的圣经
and basically it is the Bible of all things British folklore.
古德温沙滩上的幽灵船 猎角舞
Ghost ships of Goodwin Sands. The Hunters' Horn dance.
这种舞蹈太古老
Several features of the dance are so ancient
没人知道起源于什么时候
that their origins are shrouded in mystery
它可能来自斯堪的纳维亚半岛
and may have come from Scandinavia,
英村脑残故事里有很多这种东西
you know, like a lot of things in this country.
太爱了 全部都好喜欢啊
I love it. I love them all.
特别是这张 绝了
That one especially. Brilliant!
我和我的姐姐黛西一起编剧并主演了英村脑残故事
Me and my sister Daisy, we wrote and starred in This Country
你简直失去理智了
You have lost your head, mate.
一部关于在乡村长大的伪纪录片
a mockumentary about growing up in the countryside.
哥们 你认真点好吗?
Mate, can you just be serious?
制♥作♥过程中 我遇到了很多奇特的仪式和传统
Through making that, I came across so many peculiar rituals
它让我看到了一个全新的世界
and traditions, and it just opened my eyes to a whole new world.
有些人对民俗不屑一顾 认为它琐碎且过时
Some dismiss folklore as trivial and outdated.
他们一开始问我 - 是吗?
They asked me first, mate. Did they?
她是拒绝了吗?
Did she turn this down?
并非如此 它非常有活力 我决心证明这一点
It's not. It's very much alive, and I intend to prove it.
里面有很多宝藏吗?
Is there a lot of treasure?
是的 显然是这样 是的
Yeah, apparently so. Yeah.
在接下来的几个月里 我将去寻找一些人
And over the coming months, I'm going to seek out people
他们与异教的历史有密切联♥系♥
with a strong connection to our pagan past
我将面对英国最吓人的传奇
and confront Britain's most chilling legends
当然了 当时死了好几个人
Oh, yeah, there were several deaths. HE GASPS
嗷嗷
THEY GROWL
朋友支持我
supported by friends
进展如何? - 很不错
How did it go? Amazing.
被我轻松给摆平
I actually pulled his pants down.
家人也支持
and family.
你来错地方了
You're in the wrong place.
不知道浪费了多少经费
And I don't know how much they've spent on this, you know.
真搞笑
Ridiculous.
我将环游英国
I'll be travelling the length of Britain
我特么
BLEEP
解密英国的怪物、神话和传说
to unlock the secrets of our monsters, myths, and legends.
你每次都会扮演野猪吗?
So are you the boar every time?
和我一起 无所畏惧地进行调查
Join me as, undaunted, I investigate.
神话国度
第一集 黑煞
《漫游英国》里有100多种神话生物
真漂亮 这里允许人进来吗?
Beautiful. Are we allowed to be here?
确定?- 是的
Definitely? Yeah.
真确定吗?- 我查过了 - 好的
Are you sure? I've checked. OK.
我不想惹上纠纷 让农民找过来
Just don't want to get in trouble with farmers and whatnot.
那你为什么带我们来这里?
So why have you brought us here, then?
这里是东安格利亚 有很多民间传说
Uh, we're in East Anglia, rich with folklore.
比如伍尔皮特小绿孩
We've got the Green Children of Woolpit.
奥福德野人
You've got the Wild Man of Orford.
沼泽灯笼人
The Lantern Men of the Fens.
但有一个故事让我觉得格外恐怖
But there is one particular tale that I find very chilling,
那就是黑煞
and that is Black Shuck.
黑煞是东安格利亚的恶魔狗
Black Shuck is the demon dog of East Anglia.
从中世纪到近代
From the Middle Ages through to recent history,
这种可怕的生物吓坏了几代人
this fearsome creature has terrorised the population.
一只又大又黑、毛茸茸的狗从我旁边掠过
Right past me is a great big, black, shaggy dog.
据说黑煞体型如牛犊般大
Said to be as big as a calf,
眼睛红如地狱之火
with eyes as red as the fires of hell,
现在仍然有人碰到它
shocking encounters still regularly occur.
我环顾四周“哦!”
I looked around and went "Oh!"
我想 “该死 它要袭击我”
I just thought, "Oh, shit, I'm going to get attacked."
据说 见到黑煞者 一年之内就会死去
It's said that if you see it, you will die within the year.
让我们看看这是不是真的 如何?
So let's see if that's true, shall we?
这是我进行调查的交通工具
This is my transport for my hellhound investigation.
听起来难以置信 但这是一辆旧的防空面包车
So it's an old AA van, believe it or not.
当然 现在已经改成了旅行车
Um, but it's been converted, obviously.
我妈前一周做的窗帘 很不错
Curtains that my mum did the other week, which is really nice.
这是我的图书馆
I've got my library down here.
大部分是民俗书籍 也有一些鬼怪的书
Mostly folklore books, a couple of ghost things.
带你看看床
I'll show you the beds.
什么鬼?
HE GRUNTS What the hell?
好了...能行吗?
There we Is that?
可以了
Here we go.
瞧
Voila!
出发了 宝贝!
ENGINE STARTS And we're off, baby!
第一次有人见到黑煞是900年前
如果我能亲眼见到黑煞 那可太棒了
To have my own encounter with Black Shuck would be amazing.
那样我就能在民俗界树立威望
That would give me credibility in the folklore world.
我很容易对事物非常着迷
I guess I get quite obsessive with things.
如果我知道我要做这件事 我就会尽量做好
If I know that I'm going to do a job, I want to do it properly.
在找到黑煞之前 我将不遗余力
I won't leave a stone unturned until I find BlackShuck.
呃 好吧
Uh, OK.
不知道我能否开过去
Not sure the van's going to get through that.
那是什么? - 像是一个水泡子
What is that? Looks like a ford.
呃
Uh
水似乎挺深的
that looks deep to me.
我不确定 我真的不想
I don't know, I don't really want to get
第一天就被冲走 所以
swept away on the first day, so
你要是开过去 会很出片
I mean, would have made a great shot.
为了拍好这部纪录片 我愿意做大多数事情
I will do most things to make this documentary work,
但这个还是算了吧
but I'm not doing that.
有点蠢
It's silly.
我准备采访一些见过黑煞的人
I'm planning to meet up with people who have had encounters with the Black Shuck.
在北诺福克的海岸线上 海滩上
North Norfolk, on the coastline, on the beaches,
有很多人见过黑煞
there's been lots of sightings.
我认为这样启动调查会很完美
And that, I think, is a perfect way to kick this investigation off.
黏土海滩
我做了功课 发现了一个人
So, doing my research, I found a guy
他见过黑煞但没死
who not only survived a Shuck encounter,
他愿意跟我讲述他的经历
but he's prepared to talk to me about it.
他的名字叫奈哲.索普 以前当过印刷品推销员
His name is Nigel Thorpe, and he's a former print salesman,
所以他应该很可靠
so probably reliable, I would say.
你是奈哲吗?- 我是
You Nigel, by any chance? I am.
真的吗 我是查理
You are? I'm Charlie.
很高兴认识你 查理 请坐箱子
Pleased to meet you, Charlie. Pull up a crate.
哦 有点鱼腥味
Oh, smells a bit fishy.
所以你见过黑煞吗?
So you've seen the Black Shuck?
我见过一个动物
I've seen something,
我希望那是黑煞
and I would like to think that it was Black Shuck, yes.
我当时在大雅茅斯工作
I was working in Great Yarmouth.
那天有暴风雨
A storm started to blow in,
晚上五六点钟 我下班了
and I left five, six o'clock in the evening.
我独自一人走着 那是个凄惨的晚上
I'm alone. It's a miserable night.
路上空无一人
The road was empty.
在我右手边 隔着一片沼泽 有一条大狗
And to my right, across the marshes, I could see a largedog
它向我扑了过来 - 哇
bounding towards me. Wow.
它的眼睛鲜红发烫
Bright red, fiery eyes
啊~你开玩笑吧
You're kidding!
像是狼犬 但体型大很多
wolfhound type of appearance, but a lot larger.
大概这么高?
So sort of this?
这么大? - 差不多 再高一点
Yep. This big? A bit more. Yeah.
他跑到马路边上 跑在我的车旁
And as he reached the road, he ran alongside of the car.
多长时间? - 也许两分钟
How long for? Maybe two minutes.
然后他跑回了第一次出现的那个沼泽对面
He then bounded back across the marshes from whence he came.
你当时害不害怕?
Were you scared when you saw it?
不 我很高兴 - 真的吗?
No, I was elated. Really?
是的 我很激动
Yes. Absolutely thrilled.
如果有一只毛茸茸的大狗 眼睛通红
I would assume that seeing a big, shaggy dog jump out of the marshes
从你车旁边的沼泽里跳出来
next to your car with red eyes
