An Outstanding Folklore Podcast

I listen to several folklore and supernatural podcasts, and this one stands out as a favorite thanks to Bethan and Ailsa being such personable and informative hosts. I look forward to each episode of the show and always come away intrigued by Essex’s fascinating history

Enlightening and Entertaining

This is a marvelous podcast delving into local lore and legend and ghosts. I was instantly transported across the pond and felt like I was going on a tour through the inns and hotels along with Bethan and Ailsa. Absolutely loved learning about the personal stories of the ghosts and their hauntings. Can't wait for the next podcast!
