63. Ghosts: Spooky Supernatural Messengers

October 25, 2026 · 33 min

Show notes

Scottish lore is filled with spooky spectres of all sorts, and in this episode Jenny tells some tales of those with messages to convey to the living. Sometimes these messages are meant to help those left behind, other times they’re to alleviate guilt, or even finger the person who sent them to their grave, but no matter the message, the ghost has to get it off their chest before they can pass on to the Other World!
