Felix's Scare Rating: 7/10The Enfield Poltergeist is one of the most famous poltergeist cases in history. The activity occurred at 284 Green Street, a council house in Brimsdown, Enfield, London, England, between 1977 and 1979. This case has been investigated by the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), members of the Committee for the Scientific Investigations of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP), Ed and Lorraine Warren from the New England Society for Psychic Research, and several different stage magicians. It has inspired several movies, TV shows, books, and even a few plays.The House of Strange Happenings - Daily MirrorEnfield Poltergeist photographer reveals what really happened on night he snapped hauntingsThe Enfield Poltergeist: Why the unexplained mystery that shocked 1970s Britain continues to disturbThe Enfield Poltergeist (Original TX on BBC R4 on 26/12/1978)Investigative Files: Enfield PoltergeistThe real story of the Enfield HauntingSend us a Text Message.Thanks for listening!Follow us @beyondlegendspodcastEmail: beyondlegendspodcast@gmail.comIntro + Outro Music by Material Gurl

Frank Auerbach was sent to Britain from Nazi Germany by his parents at the age of 8. Growing up in a Quaker boarding school in Kent, he developed his artistic talents - later to be inspired by the landscapes of war-torn London in the Blitz. Worrying about how he would afford paint for much of his career, an Auerbach piece now commands a price tag in the millions. He has developed a reputation as a recluse - rarely giving interviews, or even attending his own exhibitions. Now, his wartime art 'The Charcoal Heads' is on display in London. Who is the 92-year-old artist still working seven days a week? Stephen Smith gets beneath the paint layers to learn more about one of our greatest living artists.

In this special live episode, we speak to writer and broadcaster Octavia Bright about her memoir, This Ragged Grace. We discuss the ways in which Octavia's roles as an interviewer, carer and linguist informed her process as an active listener and developed her writing voice. We explore the distinction between the pornographic and the erotic in relation to memoir writing, and discuss the process of revealing and concealment when writing from lived experience. We chat about the importance of images and symbols in articulating trauma, with reference to Louise Bourgeois' 'Spiral Woman' as a symbol which holds contradictions within recovery. We speak about the interweaving of presence, loss, memory and history within writing and discuss the influence of artists and writers such as Louise Bourgeois, Deborah Levy and Marlene Dumas on Octavia's work.

In episode 1 of Quarantine Genius, we look at the effect of the plague on Shakespeare's life, work and legacy. The playwright/actor faced at least four outbreaks in his lifetime and his profession was continually disrupted by disease. In 1606, Shakespeare was lodging above a swanky hat-shop in London when plague struck yet again. This time, his lockdown schedule would lead him to write one of the greatest tragedies in the English language. (Written, produced and presented by Lucinda Smyth.

This week are delighted to welcome award-winning DJ, author and podcaster Gemma Cairney on The Pleasure Podcast.Her star-spangled music career has spanned 10 years. In her BBC R4 series The Sound Odyssey she travelled the world with British musicians to collaborate with local musicians of the areas they visited.

We take you through 8 tracks that Gemma has chosen as part of her special one-off Pleasure Playlist. She takes us through each track discussing the part it played in her life and how it has brought her pleasure. As we are not the BBC (we wish we were Desert Island Disks for this one) we've provided the playlist for you to listen to either alongside of after the podcast.We were so happy to have Gemma with us as she shared her insights into what music and movement can do as part of living a full and pleasurable life. We spoke about the physical and emotional release of music, how it can be a cohesive social force, a short cut to memory and about why women of colour can be often underestimated and labelled as "too much". We also look at how music can help us find our tribe, our identity and make us feel sexual and desirable.It's a light-hearted, joyful conversation on the simple pleasure of music.

A 'mini-cow' breed that stands at just 4 feet in height and thrives on poor quality upland areas, is making a comeback in Ireland. The Dexter breed is native to the country but until recent years, numbers were very low. One of the farmers who's rejuvenating this breed is Dr. Steve Collins from Bedfordshire. He spent most of his life working on humanitarian projects in Africa . Today, he lives on a remote 140 acre farm in West Cork. I travelled high up into the mountains to meet him and his herd of little Dexter cows.
