Episode 13. The Picktree Brag

Slightly later than expected due to audio issues (apologies, the gremlins have been playing funnies with the microphone this week)... Episode 13, aptly numbered in this case, looks at the 18th/19th folklore tale of the Picktree Brag, three ghostly tales from 19th century South Shields, the whimsical tale of the Pickled Parson of Sedgefield Rectory, and finishes with a look at why the number 13 may be classed as unlucky for some...
