S5E28 – The Clutching Hands of Blakemere Pool

The Clutching Hands of Blakemere Pool, Peak District

James lures Alasdair back down to the water’s edge for an Important Mermaid Update! The Hayfield Mermaid first appeared in Series 2 (get up to speed here). Somehow, the Loreboys managed to overlook yet another freshwater mermaid in a nearby bottomless pool. And the grasping creature that dwells in the waters of Blakemere has a heck of a backstory.

It’s Hayfield Mermaids 2: Mere-lectric Mere-galoo!
