Often, stories are how we make sense of the world. Sometimes the world helps us make sense of stories. Or serves as a reminder. This is the case for the Witch's Leg, a large oak tree standing in the middle of the ruins of St Mary's church hidden within the forest. According to legend, it is a defiant remnant of an alleged witch buried there during the witch trials in England. But the oak may not be the only remnant of the departed... Sources include:

The Cauld Lad of Hylton

Ghost Stories in the Sunlight ·

2024/08/01

In 1609 the inhabitants of Hylton Castle were haunted by the memory of a recently deceased stable boy. Or was it a brownie?

L'Inconnue de la Seine

Ghost Stories in the Sunlight ·

2024/07/19

All Rights Reser It's Olympics time again, and this time there's been quite a scene at the Seine. Which reminded us of a story we have been meaning to tell for a long time, that of L'Inconnue de la Seine (The Unknown Woman of the Seine). Even though her body allegedly washed up on the shores of the Seine more than 100 years ago, you'd almost certainly recognise her. You've probably even kissed her. You might even have called her by her current name- Resusi Anne. And if you haven't already, it's

Come in and enjoy a pint... if you dare. Also apologies for the audio - apparently Liv cannot sit still.

The Most Haunted Room at The Ancient Ram Inn

Ghost Stories in the Sunlight ·

2024/06/21

The Ancient Ram Inn is the oldest building in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire. It's also very haunted. The most haunted, some say. There's certainly a lot of ghosts. As former resident and caretaker John Humphies said, it's 'a lot for one room'. Please note this episode has a fair number of content warnings, which we list before we begin telling the story. They include murder, child murder, ritual sacrifice, death of animals, and sexual assault. If this isn't your thing, we have other lighter

Get Lucky: Nigerian Myths and Legends

Ghost Stories in the Sunlight ·

2024/06/06

Liv certainly got lucky with the topic this week, delving into just three Nigerian legends - Bush Babies, Oroma/Rebecca and of course Madame Koi Koi. There's a surprising amount of boarding schools in this one. Oh and remember kids, don't do crime.

Agnes and the Brother Boy

Ghost Stories in the Sunlight ·

2024/04/24

In a small village in England in the twelth century two strange children appeared by a wolf pit. This is unusual enough on it's own, but these children spoke a language never heard in Woolpit and their skin was, well... green. The mystery of the Green Children of Woolpit has enchanted and intrigued for the last 800 years, remaining tantalising close to solving.

Joanne Trimper sounds like a lovely individual. And The Pride of the Boardwalk at Trimper Rides sounds like a lovely carousel. But put the two together, and things start to smell a little...haunted. Pull up a chair, grab some free range popcorn and let us power through a mild cold to tell you about the haunted carousel at Trimper Rides.

The Thunderbox: Mary King's Close

Ghost Stories in the Sunlight ·

2024/03/28

This episode is a little chaotic folks. Liv had done this research a while back and kind of forgot where she was going with the story, Jess' recording program crashed and Liv tried something different with the mic (spoiler alert it didn't work). If you're still with us after all of that, welcome to the crowded, dark, dense and haunted street of Mary King's Close. Stretching over several layers, and roofed in by the City Chambers above, the Close has reportedly been haunted since a devastating plague

You will have noticed this is a well polished podcast with very few mistakes. That's because we make very few mistakes. Actually, it's because we saved them for this episode. Same thing really. Is it mostly Liv loudly drinking tea? Maybe. In the end though, that was so cool. _____ All rights reserved (c) 2024 Ghost Stories in the Sunlight.

The Hopkinsville Goblins and The Clown Car Story

Ghost Stories in the Sunlight ·

2024/02/29

The story of the Hopkinsville Goblins is the 'based on a true story' you've heard about without ever really hearing about. This 1950s encounter has all the makings of some of the best stories: UFOs, alien creatures, terrified humans in a farmhouse, and a clown car. Well...maybe not a clown car. But it's a nice image.

I Know Things and You Don't: Brownies

Ghost Stories in the Sunlight ·

2024/02/15

No, not the baked good, though that does come up... this week we're talking about the household spirit found throughout Scotland and Northern England. A mischevious, pernickety fixture of households known for helping out at night - or if you'd upset them - making a mess, brownies prove to be self-confident queens. The stories surrounding these iconic creatures are hilarious, as are some of the things Jess says (don't tell her I said that). Sources include:

The Isle of Demons

Ghost Stories in the Sunlight ·

2024/02/01

Once upon a time, around the 16th century, an ominous land known as 'The Isle of Demons' was found on maps. And then it disappeared. This raised questions. Which raised more questions. Where did it go? Why did it go? What was the original Zealand? And does Germany exist? Join us as we attempt to answer some of these questions, mispronounce things, and spread some gossip from the 1500s. (In all seriousness, sincerest apologies for Jess' pronunciation of Newfoundland. But it would make sense for it to

Were-Donkey

Ghost Stories in the Sunlight ·

2024/01/18

What happens when you are an ass-hole to donkeys and strong women? You get something like the Donkey Lady of San Antonio, Texas at Old Apple White Bridge. A classic bridge story with hauntings, hooves, hoofs, wolves and maybe were-donkeys. At least some of those things. And ultimately we are left with another question...how would a Donkey Lady wear pants? Sources include: https://mariselabarrera.com/ https://events.getcreativesanantonio.com/artist/marisela-barrera/

Merry Mitaarfik

Ghost Stories in the Sunlight ·

2024/01/04

It's just turned 2024, and there are many ways to celebrate the New Year. For example, in Greenland you might dress up as a mitaartoq for Mitaarfik and scare your neighbours for treats. You could also dance. That works too. Whichever you choose, we hope you enjoy our little exploration of a somewhat creepy but definitely cosy Inuit tradition. Just keep an eye out for the tiny tiny scary people. Sources include: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/new-years-greenland-mitaartut
