In the Manx tale of The Buggane of St. Trinian’s, a monstrous spirit secretly boards a ship and unleashes chaos until the captain strikes a desperate bargain with St. Trinian, who saves the vessel in exchange for a church. Yet the buggane returns again and again to tear the building apart, leaving the chapel roofless to this day. The story reflects the tension between ancient powers and Christian expansion, capturing a moment in cultural history when older beliefs and new faiths coexisted uneasily, often in conflict.
