×Welcome to Episode 35 of the podcast, and the first episode of Year 3... In the year 1632, two men were convicted of the murder of Ann Walker at the Durham Assizes. One of the men was her uncle, a wealthy Yeoman named John Walker who also stood accused of making her pregnant, and the other was a friend of his, Mark Sharp, a miner originally from Lancashire. So why, in a time of murder, superstition and witchcraft, does the execution of Walker and Sharp stand out? Basically, its because both men were convicted on the testimony given by a local miller, who had been given all of the incriminating evidence, from the location of Anne’s body, to the location of the murder weapon and blood soaked clothing belonging to the murderer allegedly by the ghost of the murder victim. So two men were executed on the testimony of an apparition... This episode is a deep dive into the case of Anne Walker, including looking at the work of John Webster, a 17th century debunker of witchcraft who studied and wrote about the case, sparking a response from Dr Henry More...

Welcome to Episode 34 of the Podcast, and the final episode of Year 2. Launching into the podcast, I first of all deal with some project housekeeping, then delve into the County Durham tale of the Sockburn Worm/Sockburn Falchion - perhaps the oldest of the 'dragon' tales from North East England. After that, I tell Brockie's 1886 tale of the ghosts of Nicky Nack Field, then turn to a 'real ghost story' told in the Saturday 27th September 1902 edition of the Sunderland Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette - I apologise in advance to the residents of Shotton Colliery for this one - before finishing with an introduction to the new Within the Boggart Wood Bare Bones Project.

The haunting of the mill house at Willington Dene, near Wallsend, Newcastle upon Tyne was one of the country's most famous hauntings in the early 19th century. It was also one of the most well documented, with a diary being kept of many of the occurrences, as well as witness statements. It has also been subject to wild speculation, especially in recent years. Unlike previous episodes, Episode 8 concentrates on the one story rather than multiple short stories, and examines the known history and the actual accounts of the haunting rather than the embellished stories that have been presented in recent decades. This story is usually called 'The Willington Mill Haunting' or 'The Willington Mill Poltergeist' - but the original stories were from the HOUSE (built in 1800) which was built before the mill (opened in 1806), NOT the mill itself. In this episode we'll look to see how the mill itself gained its reputation.
