Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted England: Pluckley, Bodmin Jail and Bisham Abbey
Episode notes
About this episode
| England’s ghost stories are attached to roads, abbeys, cottages, prisons and villages, as well as to older traditions of phantom animals and spectral hunts. This episode gathers accounts from several regions to show the range of settings that have entered the country’s supernatural folklore.
The stories include the Dunstable Hitchhiker, phantom hounds and a huntsman’s ghost in Yorkshire, and the Grey Lady of Bisham Abbey. The journey continues through haunted halls in Cumbria, Lowes Cottage in Upper Mayfield, Bodmin Jail in Cornwall and the village of Pluckley in Kent. Some of these accounts belong primarily to folklore, while others became connected to preserved sites, media reports or legal disputes. The episode keeps those different forms of evidence visible rather than treating every story alike, creating a varied survey of haunted England. |
