A cruel chieftain. A sorcerer. A thing that rose from the grave demanding blood from the living.Beneath storm-dark skies and among the lonely thorn trees of old Ireland, Owen weaves a rich and atmospheric retelling of one of Celtic folklore’s most unsettling revenant tales. Expect ancient burial rites, moonlit terror, windswept hills and the dreadful sound of knocking at the door after midnight…Perfect for listeners who love:Dark folkloreCeltic ghost storiesAncient vampire legendsSupernatural horror told by candlelightSo settle by the fire, keep the curtains closed, and listen carefully…Because some things buried in the old earth do not sleep easily.www.welshstoryteller.comwww.ko-fi.com/owenstatonwww.patreon.com/owenstaton7Please consider joining the Time between Times Facebook group
