England's Most Haunted: What the Stones Don't Tell

England's Most Haunted: What the Stones Don't Tell

Today Megan is revisiting a medieval building in a quiet Cotswolds village. A 900-year legend that doesn't quite hold up under the tree rings. A pagan burial ground nobody can find in the archaeological record. And the man who spent fifty years inside it, telling stories nobody could verify and experiencing things he couldn't explain. The Ancient Ram Inn calls itself the most haunted building in England. The reality is stranger, and more layered, than the marketing. SHOW NOTES 🖤 FOLLOW PRETTY WICKED New episodes every Wednesday.
