Episode notes

This chapter explores the haunting tales surrounding Baddersley Clinton House, including a murder that supposedly left a bloodstain and the hidden 'priest holes' linked to the persecution of Catholics. Personal anecdotes about nighttime encounters with shadows and the evocative scent of Brill Cream enrich the narrative, highlighting themes of belief in the paranormal and the comforting presence of deceased loved ones. The discussion also touches on psychological concepts like pareidolia, illustrating how our minds create connections between sensory experiences and memories.

Talking to author Anna Brooke about her book Monster Stink, the sequel to Monster Bogey (Chicken House publishing). Anna is a travel writer and author of books for children. She is a great storyteller, and in this episode she talks about her fun new book for kids, which involves dangerous gas. This leads to a new topic for the podcast; farting! We teach you the most important vocabulary for this tricky subject, and then Anna tells some chilling stories about real supernatural encounters she has had. Not farts, but similar - ghosts!
