  1. Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Owlman of Mawnan Smith

    4d ago

    Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Owlman of Mawnan Smith

    High above an ancient Cornish church, something waits in the gathering dusk. In 1976, terrified witnesses reported seeing a towering winged figure perched upon the church tower at Mawnan Smith. With glowing eyes, vast feathered wings, and a shape that seemed both human and owl, the creature would become one of Britain’s most enduring modern mysteries: the Owlman of Mawnan. Join Owen Staton as we journey into the shadowed woodlands of Cornwall, where ancient trees crowd forgotten paths and old stones hold older secrets. Together we’ll explore the chilling encounters, the folklore of the night, and the unsettling feeling that sometimes, when darkness falls, something may be watching from above. So settle by the fire, listen to the wind beyond the window, and keep your eyes on the sky. Because tonight, we enter the woods beneath the church tower… and search for the Owlman. Welcome to The Time Between Times. Take care Owen x www.welshstoryteller.com www.ko-fi.com/owenstaton www.patreon.com/owenstaton7

    Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Red Lady of Paviland

    The Red Lady of Paviland. Friends, tonight I’m taking you to a place where the land falls away into the sea, where the wind howls across the cliffs of Gower and the waves whisper against ancient stone. Hidden there is a cave that kept its secret for more than 33,000 years. In the latest episode of The Time Between Times, we journey deep into Ice Age Wales to uncover the extraordinary story of the Red Lady of Paviland — one of the oldest ceremonial burials ever discovered in Western Europe. This is a story that has everything I love: mammoths wandering across frozen landscapes, ancient rituals lost to time, archaeological mysteries, and a remarkable discovery that challenged everything people thought they knew about the distant past. Who was the young man buried beneath a blanket of red ochre? Why was he laid to rest with such care? And what can his grave tell us about the beliefs, hopes and dreams of people who lived tens of thousands of years ago? It’s a tale of wonder, mystery and deep human connection — a reminder that even across unimaginable stretches of time, the people of the past are never quite as distant as they seem. So pull up a chair by the fire, settle in, and join me as we step beyond history and into deep time itself. I can’t wait for you to hear this one.

  3. Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Death Messenger of Mellincourt

    Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Death Messenger of Mellincourt

    The Death Messenger of Mellincourt Three knocks. A cold winter night. And a visitor who never arrives by chance. In this haunting journey into the folklore of the Neath Valley, Owen Staton ventures deep into the shadows of Welsh belief to uncover the chilling tale of The Death Messenger. Drawn from the pages of nineteenth-century folklore, this unforgettable story tells of Modryb Nan of Mellincourt, an old woman who receives a mysterious midnight visitor dressed in black. A figure whose face is never seen. A figure everyone knows, yet nobody dares name. As the fire burns low and moonlight spills across the mountains, a young man witnesses a terrifying encounter that will stay with him forever: a dance with Death itself. Rich with atmosphere, ancient superstition, and the wild beauty of the Welsh landscape, this episode explores one of Wales’ most unsettling traditions—where Angau, the personification of death, is not an idea but a presence that walks the lonely roads between worlds. So settle beside the fire, listen for the wind beyond the door, and pray you do not hear three knocks in the darkness. Because some visitors arrive only once. And when they leave, they never travel alone. www.welshstoryteller.com www.ko-fi.com/owenstaton

    Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. Dando's Ride

    On a wild and windswept night in Cornwall, the distant cry of hounds carries across the moor. They are searching still. In this episode of Time Between Times, we delve into the chilling legend of Dando, the hunting priest whose thirst, pride, and reckless words led him into the company of the Devil himself. What began as a Sunday hunt through the Cornish countryside became a ride into darkness from which there could be no return. Join Owen Staton beside the fire as we journey through ancient valleys, moonlit rivers, and haunted moorlands where the Wild Hunt still rides. Hear of spectral hounds with burning eyes, a mysterious stranger bearing an infernal drink, and a cursed priest condemned to an eternal chase beneath storm-filled skies. This is a tale of temptation and damnation, of loyalty beyond death, and of the terrible price paid by those who follow their desires too far. So settle back, listen to the wind outside your window, and ask yourself… If you heard the baying of hounds in the darkness, would you dare to follow? Some hunts end at Sunset and some hunts never end . www.welshstoryteller.com Owen's Ko-fi page www.ko-fi.com/owenstaton

    Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Grim Lights of Wales

    In the lonely marshlands and mist-soaked valleys of Wales, strange lights have long been seen drifting silently through the darkness. Pale flames moving along forgotten roads. Lanterns with no hand to carry them. Omens of death. Tonight, storyteller Owen Staton invites you into the haunting world of the Canwyll Corph — the Welsh corpse candles — where grief walks beside love, where ancient superstition lingers beneath chapel bells and sea mist, and where a young doctor discovers that some lights are not meant to be followed. Rich with folklore, melancholy and eerie beauty, The Grim Lights is a deeply atmospheric tale of loss, longing and the flickering boundary between this world and the next. So settle beside the fire, listen to the wind at the window… and if you glimpse a pale flame moving in the darkness beyond the glass… Don’t follow it  www.welshstoryteller.com www.ko-fi.com/owenstaton www.patreon.com/owenstaton7

    Tonight, Time Between Times journeys into the haunted coastal shadows of Cornwall for a chilling encounter with one of Britain’s most unsettling pieces of folklore — The White Hare of Looe. When an old fisherman shares a tale whispered for generations along storm-lashed cliffs and moonless lanes, storyteller Owen Staton is drawn into a world where the boundaries between beast, spirit and human begin to dissolve. A lonely cottage.A village paralysed by fear.And a pale creature seen watching from the edge of the dark before every tragedy strikes. As the sea crashes beneath the cliffs of Looe, an ancient terror returns beneath the moonlight — silent, patient and waiting. Because in Cornwall, some stories are not merely told. They are remembered by the land itself.

    Time between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton. The Man who followed the music

    Tonight, on The Time Between Times Storytelling Podcast, Owen Staton journeys deep into the haunted hills of old Wales to uncover one of the most chilling and forgotten fairy legends ever told. Two men walk home beneath the moonlight after a fair in Bala. Only one returns. The other has vanished amongst the standing stones after hearing impossible music drifting across the dark hills… Soon whispers spread through the valley. Murder is suspected. Friend turns against friend. And the lonely road through the Berwyn mountains becomes a place of dread. But months later, the missing man returns with a terrible tale:of silver-eyed dancers…golden halls beneath the earth…and an evening of revelry that lasted far longer than any mortal night. In this dark and atmospheric retelling of a rare nineteenth-century Welsh fairy legend, Owen Staton brings to life the eerie beauty of the Tylwyth Teg and the ancient belief that some roads in Wales do not entirely belong to our world. So dim the lights, stir the fire, and listen carefully… Because if you hear music upon the hills after midnight, you must never follow it. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4494952490/the-robbers-of-penwyllt-iago-and-gronwy?ls=s&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=Iago+and+Gronwy&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&local_signal_search=1&content_source=0b413d7c-9244-4622-b760-72fced06b30e%253ALT8d744fd33c2df938f97c839518c72705459d09e8&organic_search_click=1&logging_key=0b413d7c-9244-4622-b760-72fced06b30e%3ALT8d744fd33c2df938f97c839518c72705459d09e8 www.welshstoryteller.com Owen's ko-fi www.ko-fi.com/owenstaton Owen's Patreon www.patreon.com/owenstaton7 Take care my friends Owen
