High above the Bedfordshire countryside stands an ancient burial mound known as Knocking Knoll. For centuries, local people claimed to hear three loud knocks coming from beneath the earth, giving rise to one of southern England's most enduring folklore legends. In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore the prehistoric origins of Knocking Knoll, its nineteenth-century excavation, the reports collected by Victorian folklorists, and the legends of the old man trapped beneath the hill and the buried warrior guarding hidden treasure. Separating archaeology from folklore, we uncover the history behind one of Britain's most intriguing ancient monuments.

Highgate Cemetery is one of the most famous cemeteries in Britain. Hidden among the trees and Victorian monuments of North London are stories of ghostly apparitions, mysterious figures, unexplained sightings and the infamous Highgate Vampire. In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore the remarkable history of Highgate Cemetery, from its origins as one of London's Magnificent Seven cemeteries to its decline during the twentieth century. Along the way, we examine reports of the woman in white, the ghostly cyclist, the top-hatted figure, and the extraordinary vampire panic that captured national headlines during the 1970s. Was Highgate truly haunted, or did a neglected Victorian cemetery become the perfect setting for modern folklore? Join us as we separate documented history from legend and explore one of Britain's most enduring paranormal mysteries.

Deep in the hills near Aberystwyth lies one of the most remarkable landmarks in Wales. At Devil's Bridge, three bridges stand one above another above a dramatic gorge carved by the River Mynach. For centuries, travellers have crossed this narrow chasm, while below them waterfalls crash through the rocks and mist drifts through the woodland. But history tells only part of the story. According to local folklore, the oldest bridge was built by the Devil himself after striking a bargain with an old woman whose cow had become stranded across the gorge. The tale of the Devil, the dog and the bridge has become one of Wales' most enduring legends. In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore the history of Devil's Bridge, its medieval origins, the dramatic landscape that inspired its folklore, and the stories of the mysterious black dog said to haunt the surrounding woodland. Are these simply legends born from a dangerous landscape, or something more?

Tamworth Castle rises above the town as one of Staffordshire's most recognisable landmarks, but its story begins long before the Norman Conquest. In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore the ancient mound beneath the castle, the Saxon kingdom of Mercia, and the role of Æthelflæd, daughter of Alfred the Great, in defending one of England's most important early settlements. Archaeological discoveries have revealed enormous defensive ditches surrounding the site, providing evidence of Tamworth's significance more than a thousand years ago. Alongside the history, we examine the castle's enduring ghost stories, including the legend of the Black Lady, the mysterious Ghost Room, reports of phantom footsteps, unexplained sounds in empty chambers, and the folklore that has become woven into the fabric of the building. Rather than separating history from haunting, Tamworth Castle offers a rare opportunity to explore how the two have become intertwined across centuries of memory, legend, and lived experience. A journey into one of England's oldest centres of power, where archaeology, folklore, and ghost stories meet.

Deep in the remote Cornish village of Zennor stands St Senara’s Church, home to one of Britain’s most famous pieces of folklore — the medieval Mermaid Chair.

In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore the real history of the church, the origins of the famous carving, and the folklore that still surrounds Cornwall’s Atlantic coastline.

Long before the English fens were drained, travellers crossing the marshes after dark spoke of strange glowing lights drifting through the fog. Known in parts of East Anglia as the Lantern Men, these mysterious lights became part of one of Britain’s oldest and most unsettling pieces of folklore. Some believed they were spirits leading people away from safe paths and deeper into the wetlands. Others blamed marsh gas, reflections, and the dangerous landscape itself.

For centuries, Washford Mill stood beside flowing water, turning machinery, and the endless noise of industry. Built on a site connected to milling since the Domesday era, the old mill later became part of Redditch’s industrial history, shaping the lives of generations who worked beside the waterwheel. But alongside that history, another reputation slowly emerged. Visitors and staff have reported seeing the figure of a woman near the ancient waterwheel, an elderly man standing silently between the bars, and the unsettling feeling that the building is never truly empty once the doors close for the night. In this episode of Ghost Tales by the Fireside, we explore the documented history, local folklore, and reported paranormal experiences connected to one of Redditch’s most atmospheric historic buildings.

Goodrich Castle rises above the River Wye in Herefordshire, watching over an ancient crossing point between England and Wales. Built shortly after the Norman Conquest and transformed into one of the finest medieval fortresses in the country, the castle eventually became the scene of one of the fiercest sieges of the English Civil War. But alongside its documented history, Goodrich has also gathered centuries of folklore. Local legend tells of Alice Birch and Charles Clifford, two lovers said to have drowned while fleeing the castle during the 1646 siege. Their ghostly figures are still said to appear beside the river during storms. Other stories speak of an Irish chieftain haunting the ancient Norman keep known as Macbeth Tower. In this episode, we explore the real history of Goodrich Castle alongside the folklore, hauntings, and reported experiences connected to the ruins today.
