In this episode of Haunted History Chronicles, I'm joined by writer, folklorist and broadcaster Deborah Hyde to explore one of medieval Britain's most haunting and enduring mysteries: the Green Children of Woolpit. Emerging from a pit on the edge of a Suffolk village in the 12th century, these strange children — with green-tinged skin and a language no one recognised — left behind a story that has lingered for centuries.Drawing on medieval chronicles, folklore traditions and historical context, Deborah carefully examines what may lie behind the tale. Were the Green Children misunderstood migrants, symbolic folklore, or something far stranger? Together, we explore how belief, fear and storytelling shape the way such accounts are recorded, remembered and retold.With her characteristic wit and academic rigour, Deborah guides us through the shifting interpretations of this luminous legend, revealing why the Green Children of Woolpit continue to trouble the boundary between history and the uncanny.My Special Guest Deborah Hyde  Deborah Hyde wants to know why people believe weird things.She writes and talks about dark folklore and is one of the regular experts on the popular BBC podcast 'Uncanny'.She was editor of 'The Skeptic' magazine for ten years, was involved with 'Skeptics in the Pub' for several years and is a fellow of The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry.She has been asked to contribute commentary to such cases as the Enfield Poltergeist, the Hull Werewolf and Borley Rectory.She also once accidentally played a five hundred year-old queen in a Terry Gilliam movie.In this conversation, expect insights into: The medieval sources and folklore behind the mystery of the Green ChildrenPossible historical, cultural and psychological explanations for the taleWhy stories like this endure — and what they reveal about belief and the unknownIf you value this podcast and want to enjoy more episodes please come and find us on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/Haunted_History_Chronicles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠to ⁠support the podcast, gain a wealth of additional exclusive podcasts, writing and other content.Links to all Haunted History Chronicles Social Media Pages, Published Materials and more:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/hauntedhistorychronicles?fbclid=IwAR15rJF2m9nJ0HTXm27HZ3QQ2Llz46E0UpdWv-zePVn9Oj9Q8rdYaZsR74I⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NEWPodcast Shop:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/user/haunted-history-chronicles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/hauntedhistorychronicles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Guest Links⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠https://deborahhyde.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@deborahhydefolklore Twitter: https://x.com/jourdemayne Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deborahhydefolklore/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DeborahHydeFolklore/ BlueSky: https://DeborahHyde.bsky.app/ 

The Higgins Bedford (a museum and art gallery.) has a long history of unexplained and supernatural phenomena witnessed by customers and staff alike. It became so infamous that from the 1980s until 2010 ghost tours and investigations were held at the museum. The site includes an old brewery, beautiful town house, munitions tower, and the mound of Bedford castle. Can this history shed any light on the paranormal activity reported and recorded in a ghost dossier. Why did the haunting activity cease in 2011?Nat, investigates with the help of The Higgins curators, Victoria Partridge and Lydia MacDonald. One museum item, a doll named Queenie comes under some scrutiny, so Nat also speaks with Fiona Dodwell author of A Cursed Collection of Haunted Dolls. Special thanks to The Higgins Bedford and Victoria and Lydia in particular.Thank you also to Fiona Dodwell for her insight into haunted dolls and why so many of us find these childhood items so creepy. More information, images and links can be found on the show blog weirdinthewade.blogDo you have a memory of Bedford Museum and the Cecil Higgins Art Gallery from the last 40 years? You can get in touch with Nat about this or anything else weird in the wade related at: weirdinthewade@gmail.com Weird in the Wade will be on a short break during February returning with an episode celebrating women who haunt, are haunted or investigate the paranormal with special guests Evelyn Hollow and Deborah Hyde of Uncanny fame, and Bethan Briggs Miller of Eerie Essex, and Steph Lay from the City of Secrets project Weird in the Wade is researched, written, presented and produced by Nat Doig.Additional editing on this episode by Tess Savigear.Theme music and the creepy doll theme by Tess Savigear.

„Was habt ihr denn da unterm Weihnachtsbaum gefunden?“ Der Whocast ist zurück – pünktlich zur Weihnachtszeit! Wir wollten das Jahr auf keinen Fall ohne Euch ausklingen lassen und melden uns endlich wieder mit einer festlichen Folge zurück. Alex und Raphael sprechen über „Die wundersame Geschichte vom Weihnachtsspielzeug“, wichteln ein wenig vor sich hin und haben sogar Geschenke für die Hörer vorbereitet – zumindest für zwei, die wollen. Ein gemütlicher, leicht chaotischer Jahresabschluss (leider hat Raphael ein wenig Probleme mit seinem aktuellen Mikrofon-Setup) voller Weihnachtsstimmung und dem ehrlichen Vorsatz, sich im kommenden Jahr hoffentlich wieder öfter zu melden.

There's an effort to reduce the number of signatures independent candidates need to collect to get on the ballot. The Friday NewsCap panelists analyze that and the rest of the week's top stories. Plus, a popular Trump impressionist on the politics of performance.

In this episode, I sit down with Léonard Pongo, the Belgian-Congolese visual artist whose work dissolves the boundaries between photography, video, performance and installation.Born in Liège and trained in political science, Pongo has developed a visual language deeply rooted in Congolese realities, yet always infused with myth, ritual and memory.We talk about his celebrated projects, from The Uncanny to Primordial Earth,  and the ways they reframe the Congo through dense, dreamlike images that hover between the spiritual and the visceral.Our conversation explores how he uses photography as a space of transmission, how he approaches the sacred in his work, and what it means to portray a country through its inner landscapes rather than its surface narratives.A rich, introspective dialogue with an artist who is redefining documentary practice, turning it into a poetic form that opens new ways of seeing.Useful links: - Website: https://www.diptykmag.com/- Newsletter: Sign-up form- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diptykmagazine/

This episode, our guest Len Filppu comes to us from California. His story takes us back to Brockport, New York, in the summer of 1967. Sixteen-year-old Len watched a huge orange, flame-covered craft drift low across the sky, followed by a small white orb weaving behind it. He wasn't the only witness. Police officers, university staff, and other locals said they saw the same thing that night. A newspaper report even mentioned the trailing white light, confirming what Len and his friend saw. The sight stayed with him. Years later, after working in politics, film, and Silicon Valley, he still remembers its quiet, intentional presence. More strange events followed, a poltergeist encounter, powerful coincidences, and other moments that widened his view of reality. A vivid case from a 1960s New York flap.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-359-the-brockport-encounter/Hidden Cults (Promo)It is a documentary-style podcast that digs deep into the world's most extreme, elusive, and explosive fringe groups.

Welcome, my ghoulish fiends!Why do vampires seduce us even as they terrify us? In the second episode of Dark Thirst, I explore the erotic power of the vampire's bite, where intimacy meets violence, and desire crosses forbidden boundaries. We dive into repressed sexualities, dangerous loves and the Victorian obsession with "beautiful death," uncovering how fear and lust became inseparable in Gothic literature. From the shocking passion of Carmilla to Mina Harker's disturbing "baptism of blood" in Dracula, we reveal why the vampire still haunts our most forbidden fantasies.

Step into the unsettling world of E.T.A. Hoffmann with translator Peter Wortsman to explore “The Sandman”—a tale that haunted Freud enough to spark his famous psychoanalytic analysis of “The Uncanny,” examining familiar things that unsettle and disturb us for no clear reason. What makes this bizarre story so deeply disturbing, even today? And how does Hoffmann's genius, in all of his writing, continue to shape the way we think about the unfamiliar, and the blurry line between human and machine? Our guest for this show is New York-born Peter Wortsman, a renowned translator of Kafka, Kleist, Musil and others, playwright, and author, whose travel memoir Ghost Dance in Berlin won the Independent Publishers Book Award.

When it comes to the paranormal, I've always admired voices that balance open-mindedness with critical thinking. That's why Dr. Ciarán O'Keefe is my kind of skeptic. Known to many from BBC's Uncanny with Danny Robins, Ciarán brings scientific rigor to the mysteries of the supernatural while staying open to possibilities. In this conversation we explore: Why skepticism doesn't equal cynicism How parapsychology lost visibility in academia and media How ghost hunters can serve as “citizen scientists” by gathering useful data The enduring mystery of cold spots, EMF fluctuations, and environmental triggers Explanations beyond “ghosts are dead people,” including time slips and dimensional slips How a recent medical discovery reshaped thinking about some possession cases Ciarán's most unforgettable “head-scratching” investigation His role as the resident skeptic on Uncanny—and why he embraces being the “party pooper” Ciarán also shares details about the Uncanny: Fear of the Dark UK tour, with possible plans for a North American run in the future. This episode shows how belief and skepticism, far from being opposites, can fuel better questions and deeper insights into life's greatest mysteries. Learn more about your ad choices.

On a warm, overcast summer's day of 1901, two English school mistresses strolled through the gardens of Versailles, unaware they were about to step into a defining moment in their lives. One minute in the present and the next in the past, Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain claimed to have crossed into a spectral vision of the court of Marie Antoinette. What began as a genteel outing quickly turned uncanny, with silent figures, oppressive stillness, and an inexplicable sense of dread creeping over their heads. Was it imagination, delusion, a ghostly breach in reality or simply a fancy dress party run amok?SOURCES Morison, Elizabeth & Lamont, Frances & (1913) The Adventure. Macmillan & Co. LTD. London, UK.
