Episode contents

Episode 7 contains the following stories – a look at the Cauld (pronounced ‘cowled’ and meaning ‘cold’) Lad of Hylton’s origins, from the brownie of folklore to the ghost of a 17th century stablehand – and a look at the recorded history behind it. Then we move on to a small collection of alleged paranormal sightings along the length of Dere Street Roman Road (recorded while actually excavating part of the road), followed by a look at the hauntings of Crook Hall in Durham. The podcast episode concludes with a (very) short ghost tale in Newcastle followed by a look in the archives at ‘Occult Hooliganism’ in 1913…
