Norfolk Folklore Society

Today we have a chat about Monica English, The Witch of Winch Road. Definitely one of our more challenging podcasts, but things are no fun if they are always easy right?!Also, a biscuit review. Important stuff.

They say better late than never right?! Well, last year we led an evening walk around Sweet Briar Marsh, hosted by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust.We shared marsh folklore from the region. It was beautiful and spooky. But the editing was very intimidating and I kept putting it off. Anyway, here we are and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. Prepare yourself for tales of Lantern Men, Hikey Sprites, Glowing Owls and Shrieking Women. Special thanks to Ian and Hayley who held the mic and our lanterns when we realised we needed more hands.

In this episode we settle down for a picnic in a church graveyard and chat about the many, many, many ghosts which haunt RAF Feltwell.We'd just finished a tour of No. 94 Maintenance Unit at Barnham which was a cold war nuclear bomb storage facility. It was so interesting, and we'd highly recommend a visit. But no ghosts so we picked a spooky alternative.

We are a bit late this month, sorry!! We also have a very chaotic guest so prepare yourself for weird noises, and slightly distracted conversations. But enough excuses! In this episode, we're talking all about Norfolk's saints. We explore the lives of some homegrown saints, those who visited the county, we chat about our favourite saints, and imagine what we might each be the patron saint of. And of course we go off on plenty of saintly tangents.

In this episode we head back to South Norfolk for an unusual story. One that was collected by a local author and we think it has only ever shared in print once.Prepare yourself for some wild speculation on who, or what, might be following lone travellers along The Lowes.
