Time Between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton

Tonight, on The Time Between Times Storytelling Podcast, Owen Staton journeys deep into the haunted hills of old Wales to uncover one of the most chilling and forgotten fairy legends ever told.

Two men walk home beneath the moonlight after a fair in Bala. Only one returns.

The other has vanished amongst the standing stones after hearing impossible music drifting across the dark hills…

Soon whispers spread through the valley. Murder is suspected. Friend turns against friend. And the lonely road through the Berwyn mountains becomes a place of dread.

But months later, the missing man returns with a terrible tale:of silver-eyed dancers…golden halls beneath the earth…and an evening of revelry that lasted far longer than any mortal night.

In this dark and atmospheric retelling of a rare nineteenth-century Welsh fairy legend, Owen Staton brings to life the eerie beauty of the Tylwyth Teg and the ancient belief that some roads in Wales do not entirely belong to our world.

So dim the lights, stir the fire, and listen carefully…

Because if you hear music upon the hills after midnight, you must never follow it.

There are some houses that remember…
And there are some that refuse to forget.
This week on Time Between Times, storyteller Owen Staton invites you to step beyond the threshold of Burton Agnes Hall, where beauty and terror have walked hand in hand for over four hundred years. In this chilling new episode, Owen breathes life into the legend of Anne Griffith—the young woman who loved her home so fiercely… that even death could not take her from it.
Beaten on a lonely road and carried back to the house she adored, Anne’s final words would echo through the centuries: she would never rest unless part of her remained within those walls.
What followed is one of England’s most unsettling hauntings.
A skull hidden deep within the fabric of the house.
Footsteps in empty corridors.
And a silence that only holds… so long as she is obeyed.
With his signature blend of warmth, wit, and creeping dread, Owen Staton weaves history, folklore, and atmosphere into a tale that lingers long after the final word is spoken. Expect candlelit corridors, echoing chambers, and a story that tightens slowly… before refusing to let go.
Perfect listening for dark evenings, long journeys, or those quiet hours when the house around you begins to feel… just a little too still.
Dare you listen?

The Man Who Walked Behind Himself

There are some things in Welsh folklore that do not scream… do not chase… do not haunt in the way we expect.

They simply wait.

In this chilling episode of Time Between Times, storyteller Owen Staton invites you into the shadowed churchyard of St Digain’s Church—where an ancient yew tree has watched centuries pass… and where one man, walking home from a wake, encountered something far more terrifying than a ghost.

He saw himself.

Not as he was…
…but as he would be.

Drawing on the deeply unsettling Celtic belief of the fetch—a living person’s double, seen only before death—this episode weaves atmosphere, folklore, and quiet dread into a tale that lingers long after the telling.

Because in Wales, the land remembers…
…and sometimes… it shows you what’s waiting ahead.

Listen closely. Walk carefully.

And whatever you do—

Do not let it turn.

A simple hunt.
A quiet vigil in the branches of an ancient oak.
And then… a sound.
“Oh… Oh…”
What follows is a story of stillness… of fear… and of something that waits in the darkness, not to strike… but to watch.
So settle in, lower the lights, and let the world fall away for a while…
as we step together into that thin place between night and morning…
where not everything that walks the woods belongs to the living.

Time Between Times — where stories linger… long after the telling… and the silence that follows is never quite empty.

Tonight, we ride into the haunted heart of the Vale of Neath.

Into a land of black cliffs, hidden waterfalls and ancient forests where the mist curls through the trees like the breath of something old and watching.

In this episode, we follow the shadowed trail of Gwyn ap Nudd, the wild and terrible king of Annwn, as he rides through the valleys above Pontneddfechan with the Cŵn Annwn at his heels. We stand beneath the towering rocks of Craig y Ddinas, where fairy music was once said to drift from hidden caves, and where the people of the valley believed the Tylwyth Teg still danced beneath the moon.

This is a journey into the old Wales. Into the Wales of sleeping kings beneath the hills, phantom hunts in the darkness and ancient landscapes where the veil between worlds grows thin.

So light the fire. Listen to the wind in the trees. And if, somewhere in the distance, you hear the cry of hunting horns… perhaps do not answer.
