Episode 09. Giants, a Grey Lady and Wraiths

…and a spiritualist medium who didn’t do his homework properly

Welcome to Episode 9 of the podcast! Thanks for everyone’s support so far!

This episode looks at the legend of the Derwent Giants: Cor, Ben and Con, then we look at the case of the Grey Lady of the Newcastle upon Tyne Old Assembly Rooms.
