Three More Female Ghosts from North East England

It is the month of Halloween so welcome to the Fabulous Folklore Fireside, for we shall have some more ghostly tales this week!

Unlike my usual episodes, which feature some kind of dissection of the stories, this episode will entertain you with three stories from north east England.

These stories are from More Ghosts and Legends of Northumbria. I’ve given them a bit of a polish, but also be aware that these are ghost stories, so they do include murder, if that’s something you don’t want to listen to with young ones around. But the last one also features a benevolent ghost!

Enjoy...
