High above the Bedfordshire countryside stands an ancient burial mound known as Knocking Knoll. For centuries, local people claimed to hear three loud knocks coming from beneath the earth, giving rise to one of southern England's most enduring folklore legends.

In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore the prehistoric origins of Knocking Knoll, its nineteenth-century excavation, the reports collected by Victorian folklorists, and the legends of the old man trapped beneath the hill and the buried warrior guarding hidden treasure. Separating archaeology from folklore, we uncover the history behind one of Britain's most intriguing ancient monuments.
