Ep 96 - Haunted Castles Around The World - Dungeons, Seances, and How to DIY a Poltergeist

This week Tracey and Rowan combined forces to bring you a Halloween-themed variety episode. Join our hosts to learn about the ghosts that occupy the great castles of the world (and stick around to learn how to DIY your own haunting!)

The team explores the histories and ghost stories of Leap Castle, Castle Eltz, Predjama Castle, Himeji Castle, and Chillingham Castle. Haunted stories include: a castle in a cave, a fierce lady night, a terrifying sheep elemental, a mind-reading yokai, more than one dungeon…and “just a little, light murder”.
