Our guest is Caroline McKendrick Gibson, a passionate paranormal researcher, historical writer, podcast host (Seriously Strange), and regular BBC Radio Sounds contributor (Spooky Somerset), Haunted Magazine contributor on this captivating whistle-stop tour of Haunted Somerset!

In this atmospheric presentation, Caroline guides you through the misty moors, ancient abbeys, crumbling castles, and fog-shrouded levels of one of Britain's most haunted counties. Feel the chills as she brings to life:

• The silent Black Monk eternally guarding sacred relics at Taunton Castle
• The thunderous, invisible Phantom Coach galloping across Cadbury Castle (possible site of Camelot!)
• The sorrowful Lady of Orchardleigh – the tragic bride lost in the mist
• Face-blanked nurses and screams echoing through the ruins of Barrow Gurney Hospital
• The gentle, lost little boy ghost wandering Shepton Mallet Prison's dark corridors
• Hooded monks still praying at mystical Glastonbury Abbey
• The doomed diver's spirit in the eerie depths of Wookey Hole Caves (alongside the legendary Witch turned to stone!)
• Angry apparitions at Dead Woman's Ditch on the Quantock Hills
• Phantom station masters, marsh walkers, mist riders, and so much more...

Weaving folklore, history, personal experiences (including her own eerie encounters), and touching rural traditions into an immersive, storytelling journey. Perfect for fans of British ghost lore, true paranormal tales, dark history, and atmospheric spooky storytelling.

Whether you're planning a haunted road trip through Somerset, love Glastonbury's mystical vibes, or just crave a good old-fashioned ghost story on a dark night — this is for you!
