Ghost Stories in the Sunlight Ghost Stories in the Sunlight

 Liv certainly got lucky with the topic this week, delving into just three Nigerian legends - Bush Babies, Oroma/Rebecca and of course Madame Koi Koi. There's a surprising amount of boarding schools in this one. Oh and remember kids, don't do crime.

“Always remember to leave a light on.” – Booris, Podcast Ghost

In a small village in England in the twelth century two strange children appeared by a wolf pit. This is unusual enough on it's own, but these children spoke a language never heard in Woolpit and their skin was, well... green. The mystery of the Green Children of Woolpit has enchanted and intrigued for the last 800 years, remaining tantalising close to solving.

"Always remember to leave a light on." - Booris, Podcast Ghost 

Joanne Trimper sounds like a lovely individual. And The Pride of the Boardwalk at Trimper Rides sounds like a lovely carousel. But put the two together, and things start to smell a little...haunted.
Pull up a chair, grab some free range popcorn and let us power through a mild cold to tell you about the haunted carousel at Trimper Rides.

“Always remember to leave a light on.” – Booris, Podcast Ghost

This episode is a little chaotic folks. Liv had done this research a while back and kind of forgot where she was going with the story, Jess' recording program crashed and Liv tried something different with the mic (spoiler alert it didn't work). If you're still with us after all of that, welcome to the crowded, dark, dense and haunted street of Mary King's Close. Stretching over several layers, and roofed in by the City Chambers above, the Close has reportedly been haunted since a devastating plague outbreak in 1645.

"Always remember to leave a light on." - Booris, Podcast Ghost 

You will have noticed this is a well polished podcast with very few mistakes. That's because we make very few mistakes. 
Actually, it's because we saved them for this episode. Same thing really. Is it mostly Liv loudly drinking tea? Maybe. In the end though, that was so cool.
