A creature from the folklore of the inhabitants of the Isle of Man, living by the roads. He is small and lives in groups. Their main entertainment is to magnetize stones on the side of the road so that cars pull over to the side of the road, despite all the efforts of drivers.

But there is a lot of contradictory information about the creature.

For example, according to another version, Glashtin (glashtyn or Manx: glashtin, glashan, glaistyn, glastyn; IPA /ˈɡlæʃtɨn/) is a creation from the folklore of the Isle of Man. The word glashtin is considered to originate from the Celtic Old Irish: glais, glaise, glas, "stream" or sometimes even "sea". And it was believed that this is a goblin who appears from his water dwelling to contact ordinary people. Some attribute it to the water horses, known here as "kavel-ushtye", which looks like "a gray stallion that goes out to the shores of lakes at night."

Because of such disagreements, many consider the creature a werewolf. The creature takes on the guise of a human from time to time, but betrays its essence, because it cannot hide its pointed ears, like a horse's. In the form of a handsome dark-haired man, he seduces women.
