Historical Horror
In 1322, monks at Byland Abbey in Yorkshire wrote of ghost sightings in the margins of their manuscripts. One account tells of a spirit rising from its grave at night, only stopped by a public exorcism.

Good morning, Adventurers!
Commuting or lunching? Then why not give Ep 3 of Creature Tavern a listen.
You never know when you'll need to fend off a Wisht hound, Black Annis or some other dark beasty.
