Creepy Listener Stories of Space and Place

Creepy Listener Stories of Space and Place

When we think about folklore, we often think about the characters involved: King Arthur, Queen Mab, Lady Godiva, and more. Yet folklore has an intrinsic link with place, too.

Even the most throwaway comment about a place can reveal stories linked with them. Such stories can reveal how we feel about places, especially when human activity moves away.

They’re also stories that get easily lost when people move on, so I asked the wonderful listeners of Fabulous Folklore if they wanted to share any stories they’d been told about places - and they did!

I wanted ghosts at a person's school, houses they ran past because someone in the neighbourhood said they were haunted, local legends of grey ladies, creepy back roads people avoided at night because of a local cryptid - that kind of thing!

I didn't want personal experiences this time around, which I've collected before, because I wanted the focus to be on the place, not someone's experience of it.

Let's see what people came up with in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
