When the English army came knocking at the gates of Dunbar Castle in 1338, they expected an easy victory. What they got instead was Black Agnes — a Scottish noblewoman with a sharp tongue, a fearless spirit, and absolutely zero patience for invaders. With a handful of loyal soldiers, Agnes of Dunbar held off siege engines, taunted her enemies, and turned one of the most embarrassing failures in English military history into her personal highlight reel. In today's episode Ben and special guest bestselling author Rebecca Cantrel tell the story of how one woman, armed with grit, wit, and a heavy dose of sarcasm, made the mighty tremble.

This episode is about a Scottish woman who organised the defense of a castle against the English.
En el folclore inglés, hay un monstruo parecido al hombre del saco. Se cree que esta criatura parecida a una bruja se ha aprovechado de los pequeños durante cientos de años. Es un demonio con piel azul pálido, con rasgos faciales largo y puntiagudo. Tiene ojos amenazantes, cabello negro azabache como paja. Tiene una apariencia grotescamente feroz y garras afiladas que le permiten capturar a su presa. Una de sus rasgos más llamativos son los dientes descoloridos y afilados como navajas que sobresalen de su boca cuando blande su sonrisa malvada. Y como ha vivido en una cueva durante tanto tiempo, sus ojos se han vuelto casi translúcidos. De hecho, según algunos informes, a la bruja solo le queda un ojo.
Bloody Mary is a rite of passage for children throughout the world. It is a divination ritual best played in a darkened bathroom with a mirror, a candle, and a small group of friends that invariably ends in screams. Often attributed to such infamous historical luminaries as Queen Mary I, Mary Queen of Scots, and Elizabeth Bathory, she is known by a variety of monikers: Mary Worth, Mary Whales, Mary Jane, Black Agnes, Svarte Madame, Hell Mary, and Toire no Hanako-san. But what's the truth behind the legend? And are there any scientific explanations that support the phenomenon? Ghostkeepers Vince and Jane endeavor to uncover the who, why, and how of this enduring figure of international folklore.Links:Bloody Mary (article)Why the Bloody Mary Illusion Works (The Modern Rogue YouTube video)Visit the award-winning Glass Spider Publishing to get your book into the hands of readers worldwide. www.glassspiderpublishing.comDiscover 4,600+ true ghost stories in the Castle of Spirits Librarywww.castleofspirits.com/ghost-storiesSubmit your own true paranormal storywww.castleofspirits.com/submit OR call 801-436-7838.Watch us on YouTube and follow us on Instagram and Facebook @castleofspiritsTheme Music: "Lightless Dawn" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

A shorter but still very sweet episode this week so as not to interrupt your New Year's Eve merrymaking too much.We are covering the tale of a Scottish noblewoman who was singularly unimpressed with the English having another bash at conquering her homeland and who decided that she was not going to just let them into her castle.Despite the presence of siege weapons and being outnumbered by well over 2,000 to 1. Was she brave? Was she suicidal? Did the English fight fairly or resort to dirty tricks? Find out the answers to these questions and more in the final episode of 2021!Guest Host: Emma Heathcote See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In one of the oldest cemeteries in the state of Vermont rests the grave of John Erastus Hubbard. While there is nothing particularly paranormal about John's life and death, there are some who believe his final resting place in the Green Mount Cemetery is completely haunted. This is mainly due to the mystery of the veiled figure who kneels beside his grave. It's no angel or mourning statue of the Virgin Mary, it is known only as Black Agnes.

It's lucky number 13. Sandra discusses the legend of Black Annis from England. She is also known as Black Agnes or Black Anna. She is described as looking like a blue-faced hag or witch with claws. This folklore character is said to reside in a cave in the countryside of Leicestershire. In a similar fashion to the witch from Hansel and Gretel, Black Annis would target unsuspecting children. This story was often used by parents as a kind of cautionary tale to prevent children from wandering off. Then Danielle covers the legend of Bonnie & Clyde. A criminal couple from the 1930s who committed robberies throughout the Central United States. Though they murdered police officers and civilians, the couple had painted an image of romance and adventure. They have remained a household name to this day in part because of Bonnie's poetry and photography she captured while the couple was on the run from the authorities.

For Halloween this year, we will be releasing our old Haunted Vermont Podcast Episodes right to you. Season One included SIX Episodes as we talked and read about places around Vermont that are considered to be other worldly. Enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------------- A copper statue located at Green Mount Cemetery in Montpelier, Vermont is that of a male figure, sitting with closed eyes looking upwards, his head covered with a shawl. Like many similar legends, “Black Agnes” supposedly is cursed with the power to some pretty vile things to those who may be tempted to sit on his lap. The list of not so wonderful circumstances include a certain death within seven days and a range of just plain, bad luck. One thing remains a fact. The statue is bestowed with the title “Thanatos” (Greek for the word “death”). John Erastus Hubbard (1847 – 1899) was a Montpelier businessman with enough wealth to have the statue created and watching over his final resting place. John Hubbard was a business man in the Montpelier area in the 1800’s. It was said that he contested and inherited a sizable amount of money from a wealthy aunt, (who had originally left the city of Montpelier a virtual fortune). He set about the task of building a public library for Montpelier, but at about 1/3 of the cost his deceased aunt had intended. Needless to say people in the area considered him greedy and mean spirited. Some of the reported odd occurrences surrounding “Black Agnes” included glowing red eyes at night, blood curdling screams and other creepy noises. Some people believe that the statue was haunted due to the misdeeds and demeanor of Hubbard, while he was still alive. Stories were told about a number of people who dared to sit in the lap of Black Agnes only to be found dead later.

Women in the Middle Ages were docile, meek and subservient. Or at least that's what we were led to believe. But that isn't always the case. In previous lessons we looked at Black Agnes, the defender of Dunbar Castle and Melisende, the Queen of Jerusalem. Women like Joan of Arc, Isabella, the She-Wolf of France and Eleanor of Aquitaine are examples of powerful women in the Middle Ages. Today we are going to look at more women who broke the stereotype and proved to be strong, powerful leaders and commanders. You can call them warriors, but you might not want to call them Warrior Princess! If you are enjoying the podcast please considering leaving a rating on iTunes.
