Welcome to another brand new mini series. Brought to you by Otley Ghost Tours  and The bell Witch Podcast!

"Witches, warriors, ghoulfriends. Welcome to Spindleshanks’ Shack. My name is Spindleshanks McScrew, your guide for all things ghoulish in Yorkshire, and it’s my pleasure to haunt you through the airwaves. I’ve clawed my way through the fog on the moors to be here with you right at this moment, to regale you with miserable tales of bygone days from what they call “God’s Own Country”.

This episode is brought to you from the  "Spindle Shanks Shack," host SpindleShanks McScrew of Yorkshire Ghost Tours brings you a dark tale from Yorkshire folklore, recounting the chilling legend of the Barguest—a monstrous black dog. Come and listen to a yarn of chills and foreboding story as Sir Margaret and Lady Joan Vavasor reside at Dog Park Lodge, where infidelity, murder, and supernatural horror culminate in tan appearance of a savage beast. The story blends history and ghostly lore, inviting listeners to explore Yorkshire’s haunted sites and join local ghost tours for more eerie tales.
