The nights are drawing in, and the veil is lifting. In the chill, spiders cling to windowpanes, seeking the warmth within. Bats roost in chimney pots, foxes, rats and badgers settle down for their winter's rest, while jackdaws pick at barren earth, pining for spring.When the wind blows, it bites, and on the breeze you think you hear the whispering of a song. Was that a voice you ask, or just a memory? And was that melody singing to you?You know what this all means: Three Ravens Haunting Season is in full effect, and the spook-factor it rising!In this second installment of our 2024 miniseries, Martin leads Eleanor deep underground, into a long forgotten cave where tales of horror await...As with last week, the opening pair are both winning entries to this year's Three Ravens Ghost Story Writing Competition.The first comes from Anthony Hope, whose story "Punkie Night" offers a glimpse into a Halloween in the Edwardian past, and the second comes from Viv Fraser, whose tale "The Miller of Hob Moor" makes a strong argument against recreational running, for fear of time-slips...Lastly, Martin shares his first new ghost story for Haunting Season 2024, "The Tarosvan." It's in Cornish dialect, and set down an historic tin mine...We'll be back on Thursday with a new Three Ravens Bestiary episode about the history of Vampires, so speak to you again then!The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
