  • The Anatomy of the Soul: Where Science Meets Spirituality

    The Anatomy of the Soul: Where Science Meets Spirituality
    Sep 13 2024
    Step into the smoke-filled air of ancient graveyards and anatomy theatres as we explore one of history’s most elusive and controversial questions: the soul. What was it? Where did it reside in the human body? And how did it leave us at the moment of death? Join us as we dive deep into the fierce debates, bizarre rituals, and haunting beliefs surrounding the soul’s existence. With special guest Richard Sugg, author of The Smoke of the Soul, we’ll journey through medieval Europe to the dawn of modern consciousness, unearthing the soul’s secrets that once shaped the very fabric of Western thought. From the battlegrounds of faith and reason to the unsettling rituals that questioned the soul’s very nature, we’ll reveal how this ancient enigma continues to influence us today. Light a candle and join us for an unforgettable exploration of the hidden history of the soul—where the mystical and the macabre collide. My Special Guest Is Dr. Richard Sugg Richard Sugg is the author of thirteen books, including John Donne (Palgrave, 2007); Mummies, Cannibals and Vampires (Turkish trans 2018; 3rd edn 2020); A Century of Supernatural Stories (2015); Fairies: A Dangerous History (Reaktion, 2018; Japanese trans 2022); The Real Vampires (Amberley, 2019); and Bloodlust (2020). He lectured in English and History at the universities of Cardiff and Durham (2001-2017), and his work has appeared in The Guardian, The Sun, the Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, BBC History, the New Yorker, and Der Spiegel, as well as on international television. In this episode, you will be able to: 1. Explore the fierce intellectual and spiritual debates over the nature of the soul, its existence, and its connection to the human body. 2. Discover the bizarre rituals and mystical practices surrounding the soul’s departure from the body at death, and how these shaped religious and cultural beliefs. 3. Follow the intriguing journey through medieval Europe to modern consciousness with Richard Sugg, as we examine how the concept of the soul evolved and transformed over centuries.

  • Spectral Highwaymen: Ghosts of the Open Road

    Spectral Highwaymen: Ghosts of the Open Road
    Aug 30 2024
    In this episode, we delve into the shadowy world of highwaymen, notorious outlaws who once ruled the roads, robbing travellers under the cover of night. But what happens when their violent deeds echo through time? Join us as we explore chilling tales of highwaymen's ghosts, said to haunt the very roads they once terrorised. From spectral sightings to eerie encounters, we'll uncover the spine-tingling legends that have persisted for centuries. Are these restless spirits seeking redemption, or are they doomed to roam forever? Tune in for a journey into the haunted history of highwaymen. My Special Guest Is Ruth Roper-Wylde Ruth is a partially retired Civil Servant, living in Bedfordshire, UK with her husband and dog. Much of her career was spent as an investigator – firstly in Fraud/Theft and later in Bullying/Harassment/Discrimination claims. She has a lifelong fascination with the supernatural and unexplained, stemming from formative years spent living in a house with an active poltergeist in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. As a hobby therefore over the years, she researched for endless hours on the subject with the idea of eventually writing a book. She brings a healthy dose of scepticism and desire for scientific explanation to her research and writing, which was instilled by her ever pragmatic mother: who when presented with an inexplicably flying knife in the kitchen, calmly took out a tape measure and measured the length of its flight path. Seven years ago, when the opportunity to take partial early retirement presented itself, Ruth decided to make her idea of writing a book into reality, and has since published eight books as an independent author: “The Ghosts of Marston Vale”, “The Almanac of British Ghosts”, “These Haunted Times: Volumes One, Two, Three and Four" “The Roadmap of British Ghosts: Volumes One and Two”. She is currently writing book 9….which will be These Haunted Times Volume Five - America. In this episode, you will be able to: 1. Explore the history and ghost lore surrounding the highwaymen ghostly figures.
