    Screaming (and moving) Skulls! And just in time for Halloween... Bodies discovered centuries later behind walls, panels and in rooms long forgotten ~ and the story of a young girl who courageously fends off a horrific and dark spirit who repeatedly appears in the dead of night. After some thoughtful consideration, this will be our final podcast of Stories from the Standing Room. We still love folklore, history and a good ghost story, however it no longer feels right to spend so much time and energy on fear, horror and death. We sure do appreciate all of you for joining us for the ride. With so much love, ~ Anne and Christopher xx
