Ghostly Crime Part One: Unfinished Business
With Special Guest Eerie Edinburgh
This episode explores why so many ghost stories and hauntings have a connection with crime or criminals.
From the legend of Biggleswade's Murder Bridge, a place every schoolchild knows to avoid. To the tale of Thomas Dun, reported to be Black Tom's phantom friend or even the real Black Tom. His 800 year old story is full of despicable deeds, and strange, eerie folk tales.
And finally as a real treat, author and YouTuber, Wayne from Eerie Edinburgh joins Nat to chat about why so many ghostly stories centre around criminals and victims of crime.
