For decades, drivers on the A75 through Dumfries and Galloway have reported people, animals and other figures appearing suddenly in the road before vanishing without a trace.

	The Classmate Who Never Existed: The Pan Bowen Incident	08 Nov 2026	00:27:09
In 2013, three students entered an abandoned school dormitory in Tianjin after a shuttlecock landed inside. One of them, Pan Bowen, turned back to look for his keys and was never seen again. When the other two returned to school, almost nobody seemed to remember Pan at all, and the records they expected to find no longer appeared to contain him. Years later, the story was posted online and became one of China’s best-known modern “glitch in the matrix” mysteries.

	Remember, Remember: The Dark Folklore of Bonfire Night	03 Nov 2026	00:34:00
Every November, fires are lit across Britain in memory of the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605, but the traditions surrounding the Fifth of November go far beyond Guy Fawkes. From the Devil’s Stone at Shebbear and the flaming tar barrels of Ottery St Mary to the seventeen martyrs remembered at Lewes, haunted buildings linked to the plot and older beliefs about fire as protection, this episode explores the darker folklore that has gathered around Bonfire Night.

	The Man-Monkey of Ranton: The Creature Beneath Bridge 39 \| British Folklore	02 Nov 2026	00:20:05
In January 1879, a canal labourer travelling through rural Staffordshire claimed that a strange black creature with enormous white eyes leapt onto the back of his horse near a lonely canal bridge. When he tried to hit it with his whip, the lash supposedly passed straight through its body. The encounter became part of local folklore, and the creature would come to be known as the Man-Monkey of Ranton.

	People Who Entered Fairyland: Missing Time, Hollow Hills & the Otherworld \| British Folklore	01 Nov 2026	00:37:40
For centuries, British folklore has told of people who crossed into another world hidden beneath hills, inside caves or just beyond the edge of an ordinary field. Some returned believing only minutes had passed when years had gone by, others were warned never to eat, drink or take anything with them, and a few were said to come back changed forever. From King Herla and Thomas the Rhymer to Welsh fairy dances and medieval accounts of underground kingdoms, these are the stories of people who were said to enter Fairyland and the strange rules that governed whether they ever came home.

	The Ghost Boy of Erie Hall: The Haunting of Chris Di Cesare	28 Sep 2026	00:32:52
In 1985, nineteen-year-old SUNY Geneseo student Chris Di Cesare began hearing his name called inside room C2D1 of Erie Hall. What followed, according to Chris and those around him, developed into apparitions, unexplained movements, attempts at communication with a presence they called Tommy, alleged physical attacks and a blessing performed by a Catholic priest. Unlike many campus ghost stories, the case was documented while it was still unfolding through journals, photographs and witness accounts, although the identity of “Tommy” remains unresolved.

	The Haunting of 37 Abbott Road: The Bournemouth Poltergeist	27 Sep 2026	00:24:05
In August 1981, a family home in Bournemouth, England became the centre of a short but intense poltergeist case involving moving furniture, flying household objects and repeated disturbances witnessed not only by the family, but by neighbours, police officers and a retired clergyman. The case later drew in mediums, newspaper reporters and psychical researcher Cyril Permutt, yet the activity stopped almost as suddenly as it had begun.

	The Red Light in the Rice Fields: Thailand’s Krasue, Creepy Folklore	26 Sep 2026	00:29:25
For generations, people in rural Thailand have told stories of the Krasue, a woman whose head leaves her body after dark with her internal organs hanging beneath it as she travels in search of blood, carrion and filth. Strange red, green and orange lights seen moving above fields have repeatedly been linked to the creature, and remarkably, alleged sightings continue today, with reports from Ratchaburi and Lopburi in 2023, Surin and Buriram in 2024, and Phetchabun as recently as February 2026.

	Ghost Stories, Folklore & City of Ghosts with Thom Burgess	25 Sep 2026	00:53:43
In this special episode, I'm joined by writer and screenwriter Thom Burgess for a chat about ghost stories, folklore and a lifelong fascination with the supernatural. Thom talks about growing up surrounded by the ghostlore of Kent, from the phantom bride of Bluebell Hill to the stories that first frightened and fascinated him as a child, and how that interest eventually found its way into his own writing and the Paramount horror film Passenger. Along the way, we get into M. R. James, haunted pubs, phantom hitchhikers, the strange ways folklore has moved online and, inevitably, those deeply unsettling Cat in the Hat videos. Thom also shares a couple of his own unexplained experiences, including a very strange night in a Seattle hotel. We also talk about City of Ghosts: The Canterbury Ghost Story Festival, taking place in Canterbury on 3 October, which brings together more than 300 years of ghost stories, folklore, literature, film and the supernatural.

	The Watchers in the Fields: Scarecrow Gods, Haunted Fields and Strange Encounters	22 Sep 2026	00:35:09
From Kuebiko, the ancient Japanese scarecrow god said to know everything in the world, to harvest rituals, rice-field spirits and the one-eyed Dorotabō rising from the mud, scarecrows have long occupied a strange place between the practical and the supernatural. We also visit Nagoro, where hundreds of life-sized scarecrows now outnumber the living, before turning to reported encounters involving scarecrows that appear to move, watch, multiply overnight and, in one modern case, vanish from a field altogether.

	The Ghost in the Harvest Field: The Forgotten Grave of the Wentz Farm	20 Sep 2026	00:22:15
In 1892, a farm worker near Salem, Oregon, returned to a cultivated field after supper and claimed to encounter a pale woman standing beside his plough. When he tried to strike her, the blows passed straight through her, and she chased him across the field towards the farmhouse. Locals connected the apparition to an older story of a pioneer woman whose grave had once been avoided by ploughmen before its location was forgotten and crops began growing over the place where she lay.

	Season of the Witch: The Islandmagee Witches \| Possession, Haunting & Ireland’s Last Witch Trial	19 Sep 2026	00:33:44
In 1710, strange disturbances began inside Knowehead House on the Islandmagee peninsula in County Antrim. Stones appeared from nowhere, bedclothes were arranged into the shape of corpses, and a ragged childlike figure was seen moving through the house before apparently predicting the death of its elderly resident, Ann Haltridge. After Ann died, eighteen-year-old Mary Dunbar arrived and soon began suffering violent fits, claiming invisible women were attacking her and producing pins, feathers and other objects from her mouth. Her accusations eventually sent eight women to prison for witchcraft and drew a ninth person into a case that became Ireland’s last major witch trial.

	Season of the Witch: Biddy Early \| The Witch of County Clare & Her Mysterious Blue Bottle	14 Sep 2026	00:29:06
For much of the nineteenth century, people travelled across Ireland to seek the help of Biddy Early, a famous County Clare healer and clairvoyant. She was purported to 'know' why visitors had come to see her before she was ever told. Stories claimed that Biddy could see future events through a mysterious bottle, cure illnesses blamed on the fairies and even take the form of a hare. Though she was eventually accused of witchcraft, the case against her collapsed, and then after her death in 1874 the stories about her only continued, including the belief that her strange bottle had never really belonged to her at all. As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.

High in the hills of Shimla, India, an old roadside water source known as Chudail Baudi has been feared since the British Raj. Drivers say their vehicles slow down as they approach, before a woman with long hair and backwards feet appears beside the road asking for a lift. Refuse her, and according to the legend, she may just appear inside the car anyway. We explore the stories surrounding the Witch’s Well and the much older folklore of the chudail.

	Season of the Witch: The Killing of Ann Tennant \| Victorian Witchcraft	12 Sep 2026	00:39:40
On 15 September 1875, seventy-nine-year-old Ann Tennant left her home in the Warwickshire village of Long Compton to buy a loaf of bread. Minutes later she was attacked by agricultural labourer James Haywood, a neighbour who had become convinced that Ann and a number of other villagers were witches. His extraordinary claims would follow him from the harvest fields of Long Compton to the courtroom at Warwick and eventually to Broadmoor. As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died.
