  • Summary

  • In today's episode we go stone bothering. We begin in Leicester with the now largely forgotten Wishing Stone of Bradgate Park, a large granite menhir overlooking the babbling River Lin. We then go on the hunt for one of the most cursed stones of these ancient lands, the Humberstone, now terrifyingly placed between a KFC and a Halfords.

    We end with a pilgrimage to the Rollright Stones of Oxfordshire, to explore their occult history and its colourful relationship with ceremonial magician William Gray in the 1970s.


    This week the very wonderful Mandip Gill reads from Eleanor Hull's, 1928 book Folklore of The British Isles.


    Expect curses, hearses and crisps. enjoy!
