The Curse of Ballacarnane Keeill
Channel: Culture Vannin
Date: 2019-06-28

These remains of a Christian chapel bring with them a curse on anyone who dares to damage to them.
John Cannell, the owner of Ballacarnane, the private land on which the keeill sits, explains the curse and how it caused the farm to come into his own family. He also explains the great respect that his father taught him to have of the land here, because of its use in the earliest days of Christianity in the Isle of Man.

This film of John Cannell in conversation with Katie Newton was filmed at Ballacarnane on 11 June 2018.
Culture Vannin owes a great debt of gratitude to Mr Cannell for his generosity in allowing us to share these stories through this film.
