Often, stories are how we make sense of the world. Sometimes the world helps us make sense of stories. Or serves as a reminder. This is the case for the Witch's Leg, a large oak tree standing in the middle of the ruins of St Mary's church hidden within the forest. According to legend, it is a defiant remnant of an alleged witch buried there during the witch trials in England. But the oak may not be the only remnant of the departed...

All Rights Reser It's Olympics time again, and this time there's been quite a scene at the Seine. Which reminded us of a story we have been meaning to tell for a long time, that of L'Inconnue de la Seine (The Unknown Woman of the Seine). Even though her body allegedly washed up on the shores of the Seine more than 100 years ago, you'd almost certainly recognise her. You've probably even kissed her. You might even have called her by her current name- Resusi Anne. And if you haven't already, it's probably time to put a name to that face. Or at the very least, a story.

Glasnevin is the spooky heart of Dublin. Saturated in Irish history and paranormal activity the cemetery is the eternal home a million souls. And next door - well what better than a haunted pub.

The Ancient Ram Inn is the oldest building in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire. It's also very haunted. The most haunted, some say. There's certainly a lot of ghosts. As former resident and caretaker John Humphies said, it's 'a lot for one room'.  Please note this episode has a fair number of content warnings, which we list before we begin telling the story. They include murder, child murder, ritual sacrifice, death of animals, and sexual assault. If this isn't your thing, we have other lighter episodes for you to enjoy.

In a small village in England in the twelth century two strange children appeared by a wolf pit. This is unusual enough on it's own, but these children spoke a language never heard in Woolpit and their skin was, well... green.

Joanne Trimper sounds like a lovely individual. And The Pride of the Boardwalk at Trimper Rides sounds like a lovely carousel. But put the two together, and things start to smell a little...haunted.

This episode is a little chaotic folks. Liv had done this research a while back and kind of forgot where she was going with the story, Jess' recording program crashed and Liv tried something different with the mic (spoiler alert it didn't work). If you're still with us after all of that, welcome to the crowded, dark, dense and haunted street of Mary King's Close. Stretching over several layers, and roofed in by the City Chambers above, the Close has reportedly been haunted since a devastating plague outbreak in 1645.    Sources include:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_closes_on_the_Royal_Mile https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_King_(merchant) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_King's_Close#:~:text=Mary King's Close has had,several paranormal investigations taking place.  https://www.haunted-britain.com/haunted-scotland.htm https://www.realmarykingsclose.com/blog/edinburgh-cash-for-kids-charity/ https://thelittlehouseofhorrors.com/mary-kings-close/ https://www.hauntedrooms.co.uk/mary-kings-close ----- All rights reserved (c) 2024 Ghost Stories in the Sunlight.  Please rate, review, subscribe and really enjoy life.

You will have noticed this is a well polished podcast with very few mistakes. That's because we make very few mistakes.  Actually, it's because we saved them for this episode. Same thing really. Is it mostly Liv loudly drinking tea? Maybe. In the end though, that was so cool. _____ All rights reserved (c) 2024 Ghost Stories in the Sunlight.

The story of the Hopkinsville Goblins is the 'based on a true story' you've heard about without ever really hearing about. This 1950s encounter has all the makings of some of the best stories: UFOs, alien creatures, terrified humans in a farmhouse, and a clown car. Well...maybe not a clown car. But it's a nice image.

No, not the baked good, though that does come up... this week we're talking about the household spirit found throughout Scotland and Northern England. A mischevious, pernickety fixture of households known for helping out at night - or if you'd upset them - making a mess, brownies prove to be self-confident queens. The stories surrounding these iconic creatures are hilarious, as are some of the things Jess says (don't tell her I said that).

Once upon a time, around the 16th century, an ominous land known as 'The Isle of Demons' was found on maps. And then it disappeared. This raised questions. Which raised more questions. Where did it go? Why did it go? What was the original Zealand? And does Germany exist? Join us as we attempt to answer some of these questions, mispronounce things, and spread some gossip from the 1500s. (In all seriousness, sincerest apologies for Jess' pronunciation of Newfoundland.

What happens when you are an ass-hole to donkeys and strong women? You get something like the Donkey Lady of San Antonio, Texas at Old Apple White Bridge. A classic bridge story with hauntings, hooves, hoofs, wolves and maybe were-donkeys. At least some of those things.

It's just turned 2024, and there are many ways to celebrate the New Year. For example, in Greenland you might dress up as a mitaartoq for Mitaarfik and scare your neighbours for treats. You could also dance. That works too. Whichever you choose, we hope you enjoy our little exploration of a somewhat creepy but definitely cosy Inuit tradition.

Legend has it that the island of Poveglia is made of 50% dirt, and 50% human ashes. Whilst this might not be entirely true, the horrors and death the island has seen very much are, and their echoes remain to this day. Join us on a trip to the abandoned island.

In 1931 the Irvings started hearing scratches in the wall. At first they put it down to rodents or maybe a dog, but one night they heard something that sounded like a baby babbling in the attic. The creature in the walls revealed itself as Gef, the spirit of a mongoose/weasel, able to shape shift, split the atom and speak.  Gef continues to captivate the imagination and remains a mystery to this day.  Sources include:  https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/gef-the-talking-mongoose-true-story-nandor-fodor https://www.weirdhistorian.com/things-said-about-the-talking-mongoose-of-the-isle-of-man/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gef https://hyperallergic.com/411197/uncanny-images-from-an-investigation-into-the-case-of-gef-a-talking-mongoose/ https://creativity.fandom.com/wiki/Gef_the_Mongoose ____________ All rights reserved (c) 2023 Ghost Stories in the Sunlight.  Please rate, review, subscribe and really enjoy life.

It is a doozy this week folks! Liv tells the story of a young girl plagued by a spirit, who captivated Georgian England. Jess is actually cooperative, which is weird. So weird in fact, that Liv can't speak - fabulous when she's trying to tell the story. We talk about respecting all entities, the protective power of blankets, and that Jess doesn't trust Lunchables for some reason. Oh, we're also NOT comfortable using legal jargon in everyday life and I did say dojo.    Sources include: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2082797/The-Cock-Lane-ghost-How-tale-sex-death-loan-sharking-gripped-London-250-years-ago-thanks-Scratching-Fanny.html https://aplacebetweenthetrees.com/2020/05/20/the-cock-lane-ghost-ghostbusting-in-the-age-of-enlightenment/ https://www.in2013dollars.com/uk/inflation/1763?amount=588 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cock_Lane_ghost https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Dictionary_of_National_Biography,_1885-1900/Parsons,_Elizabeth_(1749-1807) All rights reserved © 2023 Ghost Stories in the Sunlight.   Please rate, review, subscribe and really enjoy life.

In 1886 when Sarah Winchester purchased Llanada Villa in San Jose, it was an eight-room farmhouse. When she passed away 1922, there were some 160 rooms, 10,000 windows, 2,00 doors, 13 bathrooms and other fascinating architectural decisions following the 35 year almost continuous construction on what later became known as The Winchester Mystery House. Whether it the construction were at the whims of the spirits of those who had been killed at the hands of the Winchester rifle or otherwise, the result was a fantastical tangle of construction and stories still ongoing today.   Sources include: https://www.hauntedrooms.co.uk/six-famous-ghost-stories-famous-ghosts https://winchestermysteryhouse.com/sarahs-story/ https://winchestermysteryhouse.com/timeline/ https://allthatsinteresting.com/winchester-mystery-house https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Attraction_Review-g33020-d144412-Reviews-Winchester_Mystery_House-San_Jose_California.html https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/winchester-mystery-house https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a23149/winchester-rifle/ https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/02/winchester-helen-mirren-haunted-house-san-jose https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Winchester https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23296-marasmus _____ All rights reserved (c) 2023 Ghost Stories in the Sunlight.

At around 6.15pm on Saturday October 21st 1978 20-year-old Australian pilot Frederick Valentich entered the cockpit of his hired VH DSJ Cessna plane and began what was planned to be a short routine flight. At about 7:06pm, Fred radioed from the air. He believed he was accompanied by a UFO. When the transmission ends abruptly 6 minutes later, so does any confirmed trace of the young pilot. We're not exactly sure what happened, but 70s Reddit has a few theories...
