Ghost Tales by the Fireside - True Ghost Stories Podcast

Deep in the Worcestershire countryside lies a place once known as Dog Kennel Place, where local folklore tells of a kennelman killed by his own hounds in the darkness of the eighteenth century. Long afterwards, people claimed to hear ghostly boots crossing the fields at night, their spurs faintly jingling in the mist.

In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore the history of Besford, the legends surrounding Church Farm, the discovery of strange human remains in 1930, and the darker side of English rural folklore.
True ghost stories, haunted history, folklore, phantom footsteps, and forgotten places from the heart of old England.

Berkeley Castle has stood above the Severn Vale for nearly a thousand years. Behind its Norman walls lie stories of imprisonment, political betrayal, medieval superstition, and the mysterious death of King Edward II in 1327.

In this episode, we explore the real history of the castle, the archaeology hidden within its stonework, the folklore that gathered around Edward’s final days, and the quieter ghost stories still connected to the old upper chambers and corridors today.

This is not the legend people usually tell. It is the place beneath the legend.

Long before the English fens were drained, travellers crossing the marshes after dark spoke of strange glowing lights drifting through the fog.

Known in parts of East Anglia as the Lantern Men, these mysterious lights became part of one of Britain’s oldest and most unsettling pieces of folklore. Some believed they were spirits leading people away from safe paths and deeper into the wetlands. Others blamed marsh gas, reflections, and the dangerous landscape itself.

In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore the history of the fenlands, the folklore surrounding the Lantern Men, and the real dangers hidden within the old marshes of eastern England.

For centuries, Washford Mill stood beside flowing water, turning machinery, and the endless noise of industry. Built on a site connected to milling since the Domesday era, the old mill later became part of Redditch’s industrial history, shaping the lives of generations who worked beside the waterwheel.

But alongside that history, another reputation slowly emerged.

Visitors and staff have reported seeing the figure of a woman near the ancient waterwheel, an elderly man standing silently between the bars, and the unsettling feeling that the building is never truly empty once the doors close for the night.

In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore the documented history, local folklore, and reported paranormal experiences connected to one of Redditch’s most atmospheric historic buildings.
