Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The White Rider of Maes Gwenllian
The White Rider of Maes GwenllianThis week, gather with me beside the fire as we journey into one of the most inspiring and haunting stories in all of Welsh history.Together, we travel back to the year 1136, when Wales stood on the brink of being overwhelmed by the Norman Marcher Lords. At the heart of that struggle was a remarkable woman—Princess Gwenllian ferch Gruffydd—who refused to wait behind castle walls. Instead, she mounted her horse, drew her sword, and led her people into battle in defence of her homeland.But history is only the beginning…For when the battle was over and Gwenllian fell upon the fields of Kidwelly, the people of Wales believed her story had not ended. Across the lonely marshes of Maes Gwenllian, where mist curls through the reeds and silence hangs heavy in the evening air, many have claimed to see a spectral rider upon a white horse. A noble figure searching endlessly through the twilight—not for revenge, but for her children, her people, and the Wales she gave everything to protect.Tonight, we’ll explore both the history and the haunting, discovering how one woman’s extraordinary courage transformed her into one of the greatest heroines of Wales and one of its most enduring legends.So settle beside the fire, let the flames warm your face, and listen for the distant thunder of ghostly hooves across the Welsh night.Welcome… to Time Between Times.If you enjoy these stories and would like to help support the podcast, you can do so here:🌙 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/owenstaton7☕ Ko-fi: https://www.ko-fi.com/owenstaton🌿 Website: https://www.welshstoryteller.comTickets for the Ghost light performed by Owen Statonhttps://pontardaweartscentre.com/shows/the-ghost-light-with-owen-staton/You can also subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, leave a rating or review, and share the episode with anyone who loves folklore, history, myths, legends and ghost stories.Until next time…Nos da.Owen x

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Silent Sentinel of the Bwlch Road
This week on Time Between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton, we’re staying close to home as we climb one of the most atmospheric roads in South Wales…The lonely Bwlch Road between Baglan and Cwmavon.Many of us have driven this road countless times. We’ve watched the mist roll over the mountain, felt the wind buffet the car, and admired the breathtaking views across Port Talbot and the Afan Valley. But what if this ancient pass remembers far more than it reveals?Local legend speaks of a mysterious figure standing beside the old mine workings high on the mountain. Silent. Motionless. Forever pointing into the darkness beneath the earth.Who is he?A miner who never returned home?A guardian watching over those still resting beneath the mountain?Or a warning to those who venture too close to forgotten places?In this new episode, I weave together the history of the Bwlch, the rich mining heritage of the Port Talbot area, and one of its most intriguing ghost stories into a tale of memory, mystery and the enduring spirit of our Welsh landscape.If you’ve ever travelled the road between Cwmavon and Baglan, this story may make you see it in a very different light.So dim the lights, settle by the fire, and join me as we journey once more into the Time Between Times…🎙️ Listen wherever you get your podcasts.🌙 More stories: www.welshstoryteller.com☕ Support the podcast: www.ko-fi.com/owenstaton❤️ Become a patron: www.patreon.com/owenstaton7Nos da, my friends… and if you find yourself crossing the Bwlch after dark, keep your eyes on the roadside… because some sentinels never abandon their post.

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Owlman of Mawnan Smith
High above an ancient Cornish church, something waits in the gathering dusk.In 1976, terrified witnesses reported seeing a towering winged figure perched upon the church tower at Mawnan Smith. With glowing eyes, vast feathered wings, and a shape that seemed both human and owl, the creature would become one of Britain’s most enduring modern mysteries: the Owlman of Mawnan.Join Owen Staton as we journey into the shadowed woodlands of Cornwall, where ancient trees crowd forgotten paths and old stones hold older secrets. Together we’ll explore the chilling encounters, the folklore of the night, and the unsettling feeling that sometimes, when darkness falls, something may be watching from above.So settle by the fire, listen to the wind beyond the window, and keep your eyes on the sky.Because tonight, we enter the woods beneath the church tower… and search for the Owlman.Welcome to The Time Between Times.Take careOwen x www.welshstoryteller.comwww.ko-fi.com/owenstatonwww.patreon.com/owenstaton7

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Red Lady of Paviland
The Red Lady of Paviland.Friends, tonight I’m taking you to a place where the land falls away into the sea, where the wind howls across the cliffs of Gower and the waves whisper against ancient stone. Hidden there is a cave that kept its secret for more than 33,000 years.In the latest episode of The Time Between Times, we journey deep into Ice Age Wales to uncover the extraordinary story of the Red Lady of Paviland — one of the oldest ceremonial burials ever discovered in Western Europe.This is a story that has everything I love: mammoths wandering across frozen landscapes, ancient rituals lost to time, archaeological mysteries, and a remarkable discovery that challenged everything people thought they knew about the distant past.Who was the young man buried beneath a blanket of red ochre? Why was he laid to rest with such care? And what can his grave tell us about the beliefs, hopes and dreams of people who lived tens of thousands of years ago?It’s a tale of wonder, mystery and deep human connection — a reminder that even across unimaginable stretches of time, the people of the past are never quite as distant as they seem.So pull up a chair by the fire, settle in, and join me as we step beyond history and into deep time itself.I can’t wait for you to hear this one.

On a wild and windswept night in Cornwall, the distant cry of hounds carries across the moor.They are searching still.In this episode of Time Between Times, we delve into the chilling legend of Dando, the hunting priest whose thirst, pride, and reckless words led him into the company of the Devil himself. What began as a Sunday hunt through the Cornish countryside became a ride into darkness from which there could be no return.Join Owen Staton beside the fire as we journey through ancient valleys, moonlit rivers, and haunted moorlands where the Wild Hunt still rides. Hear of spectral hounds with burning eyes, a mysterious stranger bearing an infernal drink, and a cursed priest condemned to an eternal chase beneath storm-filled skies.This is a tale of temptation and damnation, of loyalty beyond death, and of the terrible price paid by those who follow their desires too far.So settle back, listen to the wind outside your window, and ask yourself…If you heard the baying of hounds in the darkness, would you dare to follow?Some hunts end at Sunset and some hunts never end .www.welshstoryteller.comOwen's Ko-fi pagewww.ko-fi.com/owenstaton

Only one returns.The other has vanished amongst the standing stones after hearing impossible music drifting across the dark hills…Soon whispers spread through the valley. Murder is suspected. Friend turns against friend. And the lonely road through the Berwyn mountains becomes a place of dread.But months later, the missing man returns with a terrible tale:of silver-eyed dancers…golden halls beneath the earth…and an evening of revelry that lasted far longer than any mortal night.In this dark and atmospheric retelling of a rare nineteenth-century Welsh fairy legend, Owen Staton brings to life the eerie beauty of the Tylwyth Teg and the ancient belief that some roads in Wales do not entirely belong to our world.So dim the lights, stir the fire, and listen carefully…Because if you hear music upon the hills after midnight, you must never follow it.https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4494952490/the-robbers-of-penwyllt-iago-and-gronwy?ls=s&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=Iago+and+Gronwy&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&local_signal_search=1&content_source=0b413d7c-9244-4622-b760-72fced06b30e%253ALT8d744fd33c2df938f97c839518c72705459d09e8&organic_search_click=1&logging_key=0b413d7c-9244-4622-b760-72fced06b30e%3ALT8d744fd33c2df938f97c839518c72705459d09e8www.welshstoryteller.comOwen's ko-fiwww.ko-fi.com/owenstatonOwen's Patreonwww.patreon.com/owenstaton7Take care my friendsOwen

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Screaming Skull of Burton Agnes Hall
There are some houses that remember…And there are some that refuse to forget.This week on Time Between Times, storyteller Owen Staton invites you to step beyond the threshold of Burton Agnes Hall, where beauty and terror have walked hand in hand for over four hundred years. In this chilling new episode, Owen breathes life into the legend of Anne Griffith—the young woman who loved her home so fiercely… that even death could not take her from it.Beaten on a lonely road and carried back to the house she adored, Anne’s final words would echo through the centuries: she would never rest unless part of her remained within those walls.What followed is one of England’s most unsettling hauntings.A skull hidden deep within the fabric of the house.Footsteps in empty corridors.And a silence that only holds… so long as she is obeyed.With his signature blend of warmth, wit, and creeping dread, Owen Staton weaves history, folklore, and atmosphere into a tale that lingers long after the final word is spoken. Expect candlelit corridors, echoing chambers, and a story that tightens slowly… before refusing to let go.Perfect listening for dark evenings, long journeys, or those quiet hours when the house around you begins to feel… just a little too still.Dare you listen?www.welshstoryteller.comwww.ko-fi.com/owenstatonwww.patreon.com/owenstaton7

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Man who walked behind Himself
The Man Who Walked Behind HimselfThere are some things in Welsh folklore that do not scream… do not chase… do not haunt in the way we expect.They simply wait.In this chilling episode of Time Between Times, storyteller Owen Staton invites you into the shadowed churchyard of St Digain’s Church—where an ancient yew tree has watched centuries pass… and where one man, walking home from a wake, encountered something far more terrifying than a ghost.He saw himself.Not as he was……but as he would be.Drawing on the deeply unsettling Celtic belief of the fetch—a living person’s double, seen only before death—this episode weaves atmosphere, folklore, and quiet dread into a tale that lingers long after the telling.Because in Wales, the land remembers……and sometimes… it shows you what’s waiting ahead.Listen closely.

Tonight, we ride into the haunted heart of the Vale of Neath.Into a land of black cliffs, hidden waterfalls and ancient forests where the mist curls through the trees like the breath of something old and watching.In this episode, we follow the shadowed trail of Gwyn ap Nudd, the wild and terrible king of Annwn, as he rides through the valleys above Pontneddfechan with the Cŵn Annwn at his heels. We stand beneath the towering rocks of Craig y Ddinas, where fairy music was once said to drift from hidden caves, and where the people of the valley believed the Tylwyth Teg still danced beneath the moon.This is a journey into the old Wales. Into the Wales of sleeping kings beneath the hills, phantom hunts in the darkness and ancient landscapes where the veil between worlds grows thin.So light the fire. Listen to the wind in the trees.

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Wonder of the Wollaton Gnomes
Time between Times Storytelling with Owen StatonThe Wonder of the Wollaton Gnomes There are places in Britain where the world feels… softer. Thinner. As though reality itself loosens its grip just enough for something older — something stranger — to slip through.On a September evening in 1979, in the shadowed woods of Wollaton Park, a group of children stumbled into just such a moment.What they encountered has never been explained.Tiny figures. No taller than a child’s knee.Pointed hats. Long white beards.And impossibly… small, silent cars gliding through the twilight.They came in numbers. Dozens of them.Moving like a procession from another world.Watching. Playing. Chasing.For fifteen minutes, the ordinary world slipped away.And when it returned… nothing was ever quite the same again.In this episode, we step into the hush of evening, into the smell of wet earth and the deepening shadows, and we ask:What did those children really see? Was this imagination… or encounter and why do stories of “little people” echo across centuries of British folklore?This is not just a story.It is a glimpse… into the time between times.www.welshstoryteller.comKo- fi www.ko-fi.com/owenstatonpatreon - www.patreon.com/owenstaton7EnjoyOwen x

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Last Walk at Bluff Creek
There are moments in this world… when something slips through.Something ancient. Something uninvited. Something that does not belong to the neat, ordered version of reality we have built for ourselves.And this week… I find myself standing at the edge of one of those moments.🎙️ Time Between Times Storytelling PodcastThis week’s episode walks into the shadowed forests of Northern California… and into one of the most haunting mysteries ever captured on film—the Patterson–Gimlin film.For nearly sixty years, that brief, flickering footage has held its ground. A figure walking between worlds. A presence that should not be… and yet is.But now…There are whispers.Claims.Voices saying that the film—the legend—is about to be debunked.And I’ll be honest with you…That thought carries a quiet sadness.Because if this story falls… then something else falls with it. Something harder to name. Something we rarely admit we still need.Wonder.So before the light becomes too harsh…before the mystery is picked clean…Come with me.One last time.Back to Bluff Creek.Back to the silence of the forest.Back to that moment… when something turned… and looked back.

Time Between Times – The Spectral Lady of Waterston Road There are roads we travel every day…and then there are roads that remember us.This week on Time Between Times, we journey deep into the quiet, coastal heart of Pembrokeshire… to Waterston Road — a place where the hedgerows whisper, the night air thickens… and something walks when it should not.Locals speak in hushed tones of the Waterston Lady — a lone, spectral figure drifting along the roadside beneath the moon. Those who have seen her describe a pale glow, a chilling silence… and the dreadful feeling that they were not alone, even after she vanished.But she is not the only presence bound to this lonely stretch of road.Because sometimes…when the mist rolls in from the Milford Haven Waterway…a phantom carriage is heard before it is seen.Hooves striking the tarmac.Wheels creaking through the dark.A journey that has never truly ended.Is Waterston Road haunted by a restless spirit… or is it something older?A place where the past bleeds into the present…and the veil grows thin.Step carefully…and join me.🎧 Listen now:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/timebetweentimesApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/time-between-timesAll platforms: https://linktr.ee/timebetweentimes💀 Support the podcast & unlock exclusive stories:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/owenstaton7Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/owenstatonSubstack: https://owenstaton.substack.comwww.welshstoryteller.com Written and performed by Owen Staton the voice of the firelit hour… where folklore breathes and shadows linger.Because some roads are best avoided after dark…and some stories…refuse to stay buried.#TimeBetweenTimes #WelshFolklore #GhostStories #Pembrokeshire #HauntedUK #ParanormalPodcast

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Death of Dic Penderyn
Time Between Times PodcastThe Death of Dic PenderynIn this powerful and deeply moving episode of Time Between Times, Welsh storyteller Owen Staton journeys into the fiery heart of industrial Wales to tell the tragic and haunting story of Dic Penderyn.Travel back with Owen to the iron town of Merthyr Tydfil in 1831, where furnaces roared day and night and thousands of workers laboured in smoke and hardship beneath the shadow of powerful ironmasters like William Crawshay.When poverty, injustice and desperation finally erupted into rebellion during the Merthyr Rising, a quiet young labourer from the village of Penderyn would find himself caught in the brutal machinery of power and politics.Accused of stabbing a soldier during the uprising, Dic Penderyn was tried in Cardiff, condemned to death, and hanged outside the walls of Cardiff Gaol in 1831.But was he guilty?Or was he sacrificed as a warning to the working people of Wales?In this atmospheric twenty-minute story Owen brings the past to life with passion, history and heart. From the blazing furnaces of Merthyr to the lonely scaffold in Cardiff, and finally to Dic’s resting place at St Mary’s Church, this is a tale of rebellion, injustice and the echoes that still linger in the valleys of Wales.And as always in the world of Time Between Times, the story does not end with death… because some say the spirit of Dic Penderyn still walks beneath the mist of the mountains.So dim the lights, settle in, and join Owen Staton for a story of courage, tragedy and memory.🌙 Listen & Follow🎧 Podcast Websitehttps://timebetweentimespodcast.com🎧 Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/time-between-times/id1556333148🎧 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0zG7oV5zq2UTWyxlL6ZSnM🌙 Support Owen’s StorytellingIf you enjoy these stories and would like to support the podcast and help keep the lantern burning in the Time Between Times, you can do so here:⭐ Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/owenstaton7☕ Ko-fihttps://ko-fi.com/owenstaton📜 Substack – essays, folklore and storytellinghttps://owenstaton.substack.com🌐 Owen’s Websitewww.welshstoryteller.com

🔥 Time Between Times Podcast 🔥Tonight… we walk north.Out beyond the edge of comfort. Beyond the lamplit villages and into the wind-torn silence of the Farne Islands. Where the tide gnaws at black rock. Where seabirds wheel against a bruised sky. Where a shepherd boy once saw angels and followed that vision into eternity.In this episode of Time Between Times, I tell the story of Cuthbert of Lindisfarne— monk, hermit, healer, bishop… and the quiet flame of the North.We journey from his childhood vision of angels carrying the soul of Aidan of Lindisfarne, through his years preaching across wild Northumbria, to the solitude of Inner Farne where he stood waist-deep in freezing water praying beneath the stars.You’ll hear of:🌊 The otters who warmed his feet🦅 The eagle who brought him food✨ The healings that followed him like a second shadow⚔️ The Viking storms that forced monks to carry his body across a shattered land⛪ And the great shrine that rose at Durham Cathedral, where pilgrims still walk in hushed reverence todayThis is not simply the story of a saint.It is the story of solitude and service.Of wilderness and unity.Of a man who chose stillness in a restless age — and whose legacy still whispers in the northern wind.So leave your worries at the door. Draw closer to the fire.

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton- The Lady in the Woods
This week on Time Between Times, come with me into a hush of leaves and the long, listening dark…In the quiet woods of the Gower, when the birds fall silent and the light thins to a bruise of blue, some walkers glimpse a woman standing between the trees. She does not call. She does not chase. She only watches.Settle by the firepit and let the world loosen its grip as I tell the true-told tale of The Lady in the Woods — a story of old paths, ancient stones, and the soft, unsettling feeling that the forest remembers more than it should. Leave your worries with the embers. Walk the path with me. But don’t step off it.🔥 Listen now on Time Between Times☕ Support the stories on Ko-fi: https://www.ko-fi.com/owenstaton🕯️ Join the circle on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/owenstaton7🌿 Explore more tales: https://www.welshstoryteller.comYour support keeps the fire burning and the stories walking.

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Ghost in the Gold laced suit
Some stories refuse to rest.High above the Severn plain, within the red-stone walls of Powis Castle, a presence once walked the corridors by candlelight — not to terrify, not to threaten… but to finish something left undone.In this episode of Time Between Times, we step quietly into the shadows of an eighteenth-century Welsh castle, where an old woman, a hidden chest, and a ghost clad in gold lace cross paths in the stillness of night. It is a tale of silence and listening, of trust placed in the dark, and of a spirit bound not by malice — but by duty.This is a story that lives in the spaces between — between rooms, between centuries, between the living and the dead.So draw closer.Lower your voice.And walk with me…into the time between times.🌒 Support the storytellingIf you’d like to help keep these old stories alive, you can support my work here:Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/owenstatonPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/owenstaton7🌿 Explore more stories and live performances:Website: https://welshstoryteller.comThank you for listening — and for carrying these stories forward.

Time between Times Storytelling With Owen Staton . St Dwynwens day with Author Russ Williams
Time Between Times Storytelling with Owen StatonStep with me, if you will, into the gloaming — that soft, half-lit hour where the old stories still breathe and the past leans close enough to whisper.As St Dwynwen’s Day draws near, it feels only right to open the door to Wales’ most heart-rending tales of doomed love. Tonight, on Time Between Times, we walk a sorrowful, beautiful road. We begin on the shores of Llanddwyn, with the aching legend of Dwynwen, the Welsh saint of lovers — her heart broken, her prayers carried on the tide. From there, we journey inland to Nant Gwrtheyrn, where the wind still knows the names of Rhys and Meinir, childhood sweethearts torn apart on the very morning of their wedding. A story of searching. Of storms. Of love that refuses to lie quietly in the grave.I’m joined this evening by the wonderful Russ Williams, author of Where the Folk, a lyrical road trip through the living folklore of Wales — a book that reminds us these stories are not relics, but companions, waiting by the roadside for those willing to listen.So draw closer to the fire. Let the night press in at the windows. This is a time for love stories that end in shadow, but never truly end at all.🎙 Time Between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton🌐 Website:https://www.welshstoryteller.com☕ Support the stories:Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/owenstatonPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/owenstaton7📖 Where the Folk by Russ Williams:https://www.wherethefolk.comwww.russwilliams.orgBuy Where the folkhttps://amzn.eu/d/6L23XFYBetween the heartbeats… between the words… welcome to the time between times.

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Man with the Evil eye with Amy Boucher.
This week I am joined by the wonderful folklorist Amy Boucher, and together we wander into the shadowed lanes and hedgerows of Shropshire to speak of one of its most intriguing figures — the cunning man Thomas Light. A man whispered about rather than written down. A man of charms, counter-spells, and uneasy knowledge. We explore his life, his reputation, and the strange power such figures once held over their communities — half feared, half needed, and never entirely trusted.And as the embers glow, I also share a famous and unsettling tale of the Welsh seer Huw Llwyd, a story carried on the breath of generations, heavy with prophecy, second sight, and the terrible cost of knowing too much.So draw your chair closer to the fire. Let the dark stay where it belongs. And step with us, just for a while, into the Time Between TimesFind Amy Boucher here:Amy Boucher – https://nearlyknowledgeablehistory.blogspot.comAmy Boucher – Blue sky - @g0blinegg.bsky.socialMore of my work:Welshstoryteller.comIf you’d like to support the show:Ko-fi.com/owenstatonPatreon.com/owenstaton7Read my Substack:Owen Staton – owenstaton.substack.comTake care, my friends… and I’ll see you, once again, by the fire.

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton . Firepit fable with Artist Katie Marland
In this special episode of Time between Times, I’m joined by the wonderful artist Katie Marland — a creator whose work feels as though it has stepped straight out of the old stories and into the present moment. Together we wander that twilight space where art meets folklore, where imagination is rooted deep in the soil of myth, memory, and the half-heard whispers of the past.Katie speaks about her creative process, her love of folklore, and the quiet power of stories that refuse to be forgotten. We talk about the pull of old tales, why certain images return to us again and again, and how art can act as a doorway — a way of slipping, just for a moment, into the time between times.And, of course, no gathering like this would be complete without a story.As the embers glow, I share one of Katie’s favourite traditional tales — a story shaped by shadow and wonder, told as it was meant to be told: aloud, slowly, and with heart. It’s a tale that lingers, the kind that stays with you long after the final words have been spoken.So settle in, listen close, and let yourself drift a while.Katie MarlandWebsite:www.katiemarland.comInstagram:@kmarlandartOwen StatonWebsite: www.welshstoryteller.comKo-fi: www.ko-fi.com/owenstatonPatreon: www.patreon.com/owenstaton7Substack:https://open.substack.com/pub/owenstaton/p/time-between-times-storytelling-with-98d?r=56bicy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=trueMy heartfelt, thanks to Katie for her time, her generosity, and her art — and to you, dear listener, for keeping the old stories alive by listening.Until next time,Nos Da Owen x Marland

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Ghost on Garlick Hill
Welcome to the firepit at the heart of the forest, and a very happy New Year to you all.As the year turns, I invite you to draw a little closer to the flames, for tonight’s tale drifts in on a cold wind from the very heart of London. On Garlick Hill stands St James Church, old stones steeped in shadow and memory. Within its walls lies the corpse of old Jimmy Garlic… and his story is not done yet. Join me, Owen Staton, for his tale, and step with me into that strange hour where past and present blur, and the dead are never quite silent.If you’d like to help keep the fire burning and support Time Between Times, you can find me here:Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/owenstatonPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/owenstaton7Substack: https://owenstaton.substack.comAnd as the show approaches its fifth anniversary, I’d love to hear your voice by the fire.

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. Christmas Tales. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
There is something about Christmas that invites old stories back into the light.The nights grow longer. The wind finds its voice in the bare branches. And somewhere, just beyond the glow of the firepit, the past waits patiently to be heard once more.In this special festive episode, I invite you to join me by the fire for a winter tale steeped in honour, mystery, and the old magic of Britain. Together, we step into the medieval world of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight — a story born of Christmas feasting and New Year challenges, where courage is tested not by sword alone, but by truth, humility, and the keeping of one’s word.From King Arthur’s candlelit hall to a snow-laden forest and a chapel of uncanny green stone, this is a tale that carries the chill of winter and the warmth of human frailty in equal measure. It is a story about bravery, yes — but also about temptation, fear, and the quiet strength it takes to face judgement when the games are done.As the embers crackle and the dark presses close, I’ll guide you through this ancient legend in my own voice, as it might once have been told: slowly, deliberately, and with room for the listener to wander its shadows.If you enjoy this tale and would like to explore more stories, folklore, and fireside tellings, you can find me atwww.welshstoryteller.comYou can also support my work through:Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/owenstatonPatreon: patreon.com/owenstaton7Substack: owenstaton.substack.comhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-signalman-by-charles-dickens-read-on-christmas-eve-by-owen-staton-tickets-1975348008067?aff=oddtdtcreatorSo draw closer to the fire, let the winter night settle around you, and listen — for Christmas is the perfect time for a challenge, and every story demands its answer.Take care my friends and Nadolig LlawenOwen x

Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Dark deeds of the Devil in Folklore with Amy Boucher
In the shadowed hollows where myth bleeds into memory, the devil’s footprints mark the ancient soil of Welsh lore. In this spellbinding episode of Time Between Times with Owen Staton, we journey deep into the dark heart of folklore to uncover the devil’s many disguises: the horned tempter lurking at crossroads, the twisted whisper in windswept valleys that chills even the bravest soul, and the monstrous forms born of peasant fear and firelight tales. From cavernous caves beneath Cambrian hills to lonely tracks where lost travellers swear they’ve heard infernal laughter, Welsh tradition paints the devil not only as a tempter of souls but as a trickster spirit shaping the very landscape of fear itself. This isn’t just legend — it’s the folklore of shadowed hearts and ancient woods coming alive in the dark between the worlds.In this haunting episode, host Owen Staton welcomes special guest Amy Boucher, an expert folklorist, storyteller, and chronicler of ghostly traditions. Amy brings sharp insight and passion to the underbelly of folklore, illuminating how tales of the devil and otherworldly mischief reflect the fears, morals, and imaginations of communities through time. Together, Owen and Amy weave stories that blur the line between history and myth, revealing how tales of the devil endure in our collective psyche.About our guest: Amy Boucher is the writer and folklorist behind the blog Nearly Knowledgeable History — a trove of curious stories, folklore, and cultural insights.
