In this episode, I’m joined again by Matt Thompson, a historian and dedicated folklore researcher based in the picturesque fishing village of Newlyn, Cornwall. Listen to episode 78 where Matt shares some of the rich folklore of Newlyn, Mousehole and Paul.

This time, we’ll be exploring some of the stories of mermaids, sea monsters and ghosts from the area.

We recorded this episode in two separate sessions due to technical difficulties, which seemed to occur when Matt was discussing a mermaid sighting!

In this spine-tingling Halloween special of the Fairy Whispering Podcast, I share a collection of eerie ghost stories narrated by my father, Steve. Gather around as we delve into the haunting tales of the Haunted Cottage, the Stickman, the Roadside Phantom, and the Boy in the Tunnel—each a chilling reminder of the unseen world that lurks beyond our perception.

My father recounts his experiences with the Haunted Cottage in Torquay, a place steeped in mystery where lights flicker and ghostly children may still play. He shares a particularly chilling encounter involving a ghostly apparition of a girl in the window, alongside strange occurrences that have left us questioning the nature of reality.

As we move on to the tale of the Stickman, we are drawn into a world where the woods hide secrets and shadows take on their own life. My father's haunting narrative captures the essence of childhood fears and the thrill of the unknown.

Next, we explore the Roadside Phantom—a spectral figure spotted by many, including my father and his friend, who left us both bewildered by its sudden disappearance.

The episode culminates with the Boy in the Tunnel, where my father reflects on a poignant encounter with a friend who passed too soon, forever altering his view on the paranormal.

Join us for this captivating episode filled with spine-chilling tales, perfect for a Halloween night. Prepare to be enchanted and unnerved by these haunting stories.
