We are back after an extended break. Unfortunately they can't meet in real life for weird chats so it's back to Zoom, as is very clear in the sound quality. This week we discuss one of Stacia's specialist subjects, the Green Lady of Costessey Hall. https://t.co/lwKTLpLBeD

Latest #norfolk #folklore doodle, Thomas Sydney of Ranworth, feared landowner & drunk, he cheated on a wager by murdering his opponent in a horse race.

On this episode we discuss a TV appearance of a ghost at Morley Old Hall near Wymondham. Renowned SPR member Tony Cornell and Anglia TV investigated the hall in the 1960s. After the show aired they received an unexpected response from viewers. https://t.co/tlnAJKnhDN
