Is it a full blown episode? Is it a mini Stranger? It’s Episode 12, hurrah! Town meets gown as Ruth and Chris encounter some of the many ghosts that haunt the cloistered corridors and courtyards of the University of Cambridge. So numerous and ghastly are the spectres of the 31 Cambridge colleges that we may well have to revisit this topic in a future episode… but for now, listen for supernatural tales of exorcisms at Peterhouse, foul smells at Sidney Sussex, and an unfortunate sequence of events involving the plague and a disillusioned priest at Corpus Christi. These spooky escapades are accompanied by some local(ish) and unusually fruity beer from the nearby village of Waterbeach.
