The Whispering Woods : True Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

On 15 September 1875, seventy-nine-year-old Ann Tennant left her home in the Warwickshire village of Long Compton to buy a loaf of bread. Minutes later she was attacked by agricultural labourer James Haywood, a neighbour who had become convinced that Ann and a number of other villagers were witches. His extraordinary claims would follow him from the harvest fields of Long Compton to the courtroom at Warwick and eventually to Broadmoor.

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.

Season of the Witch – Archive Note:

As part of this year’s Season of the Witch, we’re bringing our two-part Charles Walton case back into the feed. Charles Walton’s story connects with some of the new cases we’re covering this season, so we thought it was the perfect time to revisit it.

Patreon and Apple subscribers can listen to Charles Walton Parts One & Two and our new Ann Tennant episode now. For everyone else, Charles Walton Parts One & Two will be released on Friday and Saturday, followed by Ann Tennant on Sunday.

The Charles Walton episodes were originally released around 14 months ago and have been refreshed with our current music.

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.

Above the Warwickshire village of Long Compton stands one of England's strangest prehistoric landscapes. According to legend, the Rollright Stones are a king and his army turned to stone by a witch, while generations of local people told stories of bleeding elder trees, fairies dancing around the stones, impossible stone counts, shape-shifting witches and ancient monuments that moved after dark. Even into the twentieth century, Long Compton retained its extraordinary reputation as a village where the influence of witches was said to come and go like the full moon.

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.

During the bitter winter of 1698, Moll Dyer was driven from her home in St Mary’s County, Maryland, after local people blamed her for sickness and misfortune and accused her of witchcraft. According to the legend, she escaped her burning cabin only to freeze to death beside a large rock deep in the woods, leaving behind the impression of her hand and a curse upon those responsible. More than three hundred years later, Moll’s rock still exists, while stories of strange lights, sudden fog, shadowy figures and Moll herself continue along the road and woodland that carry her name.

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.

Late on 8 January 2004, a woman calling herself Hasumi began posting to the Japanese message board 2channel after her usual train travelled far beyond its normal route and stopped at a deserted station she had never heard of. Over the next four hours, strangers online followed her journey through tunnels, distant drums, a terrifying encounter and finally a ride with a mysterious man, until Hasumi posted one final message and disappeared from the thread. Her story would become one of Japan’s most enduring internet legends and inspired an entire genre of mysterious “otherworld stations.”

In the spring of 1897, newspapers in Potter County, Pennsylvania began reporting encounters with a bizarre creature described as tall, hairy, upright and armed with long tusks. But the Nondescript was only one of many strange stories to emerge from these remote forests. From an earlier “Wild Man” near Galeton to unexplained screams, mysterious figures, phantom hitchhikers, strange lights and local monster legends, this episode explores the unsettling folklore surrounding one of Pennsylvania’s wildest and most isolated regions.

High above Baguio City stands the ruined former Diplomat Hotel, a building that began life as a Dominican retreat house before becoming a wartime refuge, a Japanese stronghold and later a hotel operated by controversial faith healer Tony Agpaoa. Since its abandonment, visitors have reported footsteps, voices, wartime apparitions and mysterious religious figures moving through its empty corridors, giving Dominican Hill a reputation as one of the most haunted places in the Philippines.
