In the first 'pilot' episode of the podcast, the vaguelly terrified Boggart introduces himself and explains the basic premise of the project, then reads out real life ghost stories submitted by a supporter, then delves into the archives and a 1936 newspaper article describing poltergeist activity and hurling stones, before ending with a little folklore snippet about the Hexham Goose.
