After just a couple of episodes listening to Bethan and Ailsa you can't help but feel as though you know them and that you're meeting up with two friends to chat about scary stories and spooky goings on. Full of both modern and traditional tales in and around Essex, this is a really relaxed and friendly podcast to listen to when you're looking for something exciting. Well-researched by both presenters, and covering a wide-range of topics, this is a fantastic podcast to listen to if you are looking to learn a little more about the more unusual aspects of this part of the world. Great fun to binge-listen to :)

A Great Podcast!
