In the latest episode of the Hallowed Histories podcast, we catch a dose of full moon fever and head down to RAF Alconbury in the wilds of Cambridgeshire. The infamous 'Hard Stand Monster' was apparently prowling this area during the 1970s, scaring and tearing up the airforce base. We look at what made these tales of lycanthropes and monsters so attractive to the men who served there under the full East Anglian moon.

The last story in out ghost stories for Christmas strand is a little different.
