Episode contents

Episode 16 sees in the Autumn Equinox in the UK with two dark tales from Northumberland… the grisly fates of William Winter and his murderous accomplices (warning… it ain’t pleasant…) and then the ghostly bridal party of Featherstone Castle, said to be seen in nearby Pynkin’s Cleugh on the 17th January every year. As well as this we hear the folk custom of ‘breaking rainbows’ and also the ‘from the archives’ account of a poltergeist in Embleton in 1957.
