In this episode, I’m joined by writer and folklorist Amy Boucher for a fascinating conversation about Shropshire folklore, local history, superstition, witchcraft, and the power of the stories rooted in the land beneath our feet.

We chat about how Amy first fell in love with folklore, the magic and meaning of local legends, and why learning the stories of your own area can help you feel more connected to place, ancestry, and self. From devil lore in Ironbridge to the lives of Shropshire witches, forgotten women, ghost stories, coracle men, death customs, and old superstitions, this episode is packed with rich history, haunting tales, and powerful reflections on why folklore still matters today.

This is such a grounding, inspiring conversation about the human side of folklore, not just the myths and magic, but the people, communities, and lived experiences behind the stories. If you love British folklore, regional history, witchcraft, ancestral connection, and the old ways, you’ll love this one.
