Haunting Season 2025 #1: Uncle Wilf

Three Ravens Haunting Season is now officially risen from the grave, hungry for coziness and chilling tales of terror!

As in previous years we begin this Monday episode with two winning tales from our annual Three Ravens Ghost Story Writing Competition.

The first of these, "Cold" by Susanne Okulitch, offers up a cool bit of class discussion set against a backdrop of an ice cold Alpine blizzard, while the second, "The Lion Tamer" by Maria Williams presents something altogether stranger, though perhaps more heart-warming in the end.

Lastly comes Martin's new story for this week, "Uncle Wilf." Another slightly offbeat tale, it features a certain amount of Gothic gloom, then becomes a tale about cycles of time, grief, and family. Hopefully it still freaks you out, while also reaching for something else. Not least, to please The Master...

Fingers-crossed you enjoy all three, and speak to you again on Thursday for our Magic and Medicines Bonus Episode all about Voodoo!

Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.

Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...

Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.

With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?
