Trying something a bit different with this bonus episode today. Many of you have contacted me stating that you find the podcast very useful for meditation so I have tried to make this episode a little more of a mix between a Mindful listen and a story.
The Horse and the hillock is a traditional folktale told by me in a meditative way for you to enjoy. Its a story that features animal cruilty and a murder but is in the theme of those old folktales that we love.
I hope you enjoy it and please contact me or leave a comment on here if you would like to see similar episodes in the futre.

Special thanks today to Emma (Ghost Catcher isles @emmainotherland) for todays story suggestion that hails from County Clare in Ireland.
We have many tales of Mermaids to discover but few of Mermen. Maybe there is a reason for this if we only have the courage to find out.
A lovely old tale that I hope you will enjoy.

One of the most heartbreaking tales from York the city of a thousand Ghosts. Over the years there have been many sightings of a solitary Spectre stalking the Snickleways that have scared visitors from all over the world. The Ghost of Micklegate bar is an incredibly eerie tale told by me at the Firepit at the heart of the forest.

Welcome friends to another episode of Time between Times.
Today we return to the rich seam of Welsh folklore that I love so much.
Adapted from an old Welsh tale chronicled by Edmund Jones this really has to be one of the spookiest stories I've told on here so please Listiner discretion is advised.
The Name of the Bwca tells an age old tale of the the havoc caused when Mischivious Spirits are invited into our homes. muster your courage and enjoy the story my friends.
Special thanks this week to my friends Dr Delyth Badder and Elidir Jones for the suggestion and the translation.

It's wonderful to be back after a brief break and to be joined at the Firepit by the Wonderful Deborah Hyde , Folklorist and star of Uncanny and countless other journeys into the paranormal.
Deborah and I sit and discuss her career and how she came to become interested in the Strange and some of her upcoming projects . I then tell one of Deborah's favourite tales , which Gerald of Wales recorded many hundreds of years ago. the Werewolves of Ossory.
please sit back, relax and enjoy a tale told at the firepit at the forest's heart.
