Jersey Post’s Europa 2022 – Jersey Myths & Legends III – Ghost Stories


A set of stamps based on traditional stories from the Bailiwick of Jersey, an island country located in the English Channel. 

“Six ghostly myths and legends will feature on a set of stamps to be issued by Jersey Post on 16 March, as part of the 2022 Europa stamp issue, Stories & Myths. The third in Jersey Post’s Myths and Legends series, the issue focuses on ghost stories which have shaped Jersey’s history and culture. Two Europa stamps are included in the set and have been printed using spot UV ink, which means that elements of the stamp illustrations take on an eery glow under ultraviolet light.

The six Jersey ghost stories depicted on the stamps are: The Vioge of Crack Ankle Lane, The Woman in Black, The Belenji, The Bells of Les Minquiers, The Bride and Groom of Gorey Castle and The Soldiers of Vinchelez Lane.”
