Ghost Tales by the Fireside - True Ghost Stories Podcast

High on the white cliffs of Flamborough Head lies a lonely hollow known as Jenny Gallows' Pit.

At first glance, it appears to be nothing more than a shallow depression in the earth. But for generations, local people believed it was haunted by the restless spirit of a young woman named Jenny Gallows.

Children whispered that anyone who ran around the pit nine times would hear the fairies.
Yet an older, darker legend warned that the real danger came long before the ninth circuit.

On the eighth...

Jenny herself was said to climb from the pit.

In this Dark Folklore episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore one of Yorkshire's most unsettling forgotten legends, the chilling rhyme attributed to Jenny Gallows, and the terrifying story of the farmer who dared to mock the old superstition—only to discover that some legends are best left untested.

Was it simply an old fireside tale... or did something truly haunt the lonely cliffs above the North Sea?

High on Kinder Scout, hidden amongst the peat and heather of the Peak District, lies a lonely pool wrapped in centuries of folklore.

On Easter Eve, it is said a mysterious mermaid rises from the dark water, offering the impossible to those who find her. But every gift comes with a price, and some who reached out to accept her invitation were never seen again.

In this Dark Folklore episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we journey into one of Derbyshire's most enduring legends, exploring the haunting tale of Mermaid's Pool, its eerie links to Blake Mere, and the ancient belief that lonely waters should always be treated with respect.

King William II, better known as William Rufus, rode into the New Forest on a summer hunting trip in the year 1100. By the end of the day he was dead, struck by an arrow under circumstances that remain one of England's greatest unsolved historical mysteries.

Was it a tragic hunting accident? An assassination disguised as misfortune? Or was his death linked to the curse that many medieval people believed hung over the New Forest?

In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore the history behind the Rufus Stone near Minstead, the death of the Red King, the rumours that followed, and the ghostly folklore that still surrounds this quiet corner of Hampshire nearly a thousand years later.

From Norman kings and royal hunting forests to phantom riders, spectral legends and one of England's most enduring mysteries, join me as we step back into the shadows of medieval England.
