Wyrd Folk

Dare you defy the devil of Meon Hill? Listen in this week for the two stories of devilish terror we wrote for the live podcast performed at The Wyrd Folk Festival on 6th September. This brilliant piece of Gloucestershire folklore is part wild hunt lore, part cautionary tale. Come with us to meet the demon huntsman of Meon Hill and his terrible hooters.
