On Saturday I saw lots of lovely familiar faces at Wycombe Paracon, and I got to talk about the Green Children of Woolpit, video series here tinyurl.com/y67646zs Thanks to Stevyn Colgan for the piccie.
The Green Children of Woolpit: Episode One
Were the twelfth century villagers of a Suffolk village visited by the fairies? The Green Children of Woolpit is a popular and mystifying legend. In the first part of this series we look at this (slightly differing!) story from two medieval chroniclers. There are other episodes - look out for them as they come! The voice of Ralph of Coggeshall is by Owen Staton 'Time Between Times' / @timebetweentimes 'Spectre of the Sea' https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/spec... The voice of William of Newburgh is by David Stephenson Music is from the album 'Opidamus' by Paya Lehane of @PerKeltMusic, and is © Paya Lehane.

It's nightfall on Halloween, so here's a video about a mysterious cauldron. Did it come from a witch, or from the fairies? Thank you to @owenstaton.bsky.social & @drfrancisyoung.bsky.social

London has always been home to secret societies, occult rituals, and cursed objects, but a new exhibition at The Vaults by Waterloo station is something entirely different… @laurenwrites.bsky.social investigates the Dark Secrets exhibition.
