    Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm
    Jan 23 2025
    For the first season 2 short, Sam takes a look at the details behind the famous urban legend of 'Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm?'. Who is LaBella? And how did she die? This week's episode is a bit more true crime than folklore, perhaps demonstrating the link between notorious local crimes and folklore. Possibly not for the faint of heart.

    Jan 16 2025
    This week, we dive into a ghostly tale from Sunderland, the Cauld Lad of Hilton Castle.

This week, we're asking you whether this Cauld Lad is a brownie or a poltergeist. Get bonus content on Patreon
