An episode celebrating the power of stories on World Mental Health Awareness Day and the benefit they can have when times are tough. Even though the tale may be dark it can still be of so much benefit to a tired mind.

This week's tale comes from the incredible Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire. The home of the famous romantic Poet Lord Byron and many Spirits. Today we tell the tragic tale of one of those Phantoms. The White Lady of Newstead Abbey.

it's been a while since I've met a friend at the firepit to talk about their stories and to tell one of their favourites. Today I am joined by Paranormal Investigator and Blogger Emma Holohan to discuss her experiences in ghost hunting and her fantastic blog Ghost Catcher Isles . I then tell one of Emma's favourite tales " The Phantom Drummer of Hickling Broad. ".

Sometimes being at the firepit can be a bit windy so please excuse some slight sound anomalies at the start

A lovely old Somerset folktale taken from the Readers Digest “Folklore Myths and Legends of Britain “ The Ballad of Blue Ben “ is an incredible example of creating a tale from your surroundings and making magic from the mundane .

The Ghost of Silent Pool is an incredible medieval ghost story and one that I am very excited about telling at the firepit in the heart of the forest at the Time between Times . I hope you enjoy it.

The season of traditional ghost stories continues with a fantastic old Yorkshire Folktale that is sure to send a shiver down your spine. I discovered this old story in the Readers Digest book on the Myths and folklore of Britain and it has haunted me ever since. I really hope you enjoy it ?

Trying something a bit different with this bonus episode today. Many of you have contacted me stating that you find the podcast very useful for meditation so I have tried to make this episode a little more of a mix between a Mindful listen and a story.

The Horse and the hillock is a traditional folktale told by me in a meditative way for you to enjoy. Its a story that features animal cruilty and a murder but is in the theme of those old folktales that we love.

I hope you enjoy it and please contact me or leave a comment on here if you would like to see similar episodes in the futre.

Special thanks today to Emma (Ghost Catcher isles @emmainotherland) for todays story suggestion that hails from County Clare in Ireland.

We have many tales of Mermaids to discover but few of Mermen. Maybe there is a reason for this if we only have the courage to find out.

A lovely old tale that I hope you will enjoy.

if you have any story suggestions please contact me at www.welshstoryteller.com
