Agnes and the Brother Boy
April 24, 2024 16:00 - 37 minutes - 51.3 MBIn a small village in England in the twelth century two strange children appeared by a wolf pit. This is unusual enough on it's own, but these children spoke a language never heard in Woolpit and their skin was, well... green. The mystery of the Green Children of Woolpit has enchanted and intrigued for the last 800 years, remaining tantalising close to solving. Sources include: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_children_of_Woolpit#:~:text=The legend of the green,1135–1154). ...
Free Range Corn
April 12, 2024 06:59 - 26 minutes - 32.5 MBJoanne Trimper sounds like a lovely individual. And The Pride of the Boardwalk at Trimper Rides sounds like a lovely carousel. But put the two together, and things start to smell a little...haunted. Pull up a chair, grab some free range popcorn and let us power through a mild cold to tell you about the haunted carousel at Trimper Rides.

The Thunderbox: Mary King's Close
March 28, 2024 16:00 - 28 minutes - 38.1 MBThis episode is a little chaotic folks. Liv had done this research a while back and kind of forgot where she was going with the story, Jess' recording program crashed and Liv tried something different with the mic (spoiler alert it didn't work). If you're still with us after all of that, welcome to the crowded, dark, dense and haunted street of Mary King's Close. Stretching over several layers, and roofed in by the City Chambers above, the Close has reportedly been haunted since a devastatin...
BOOpers X
March 14, 2024 16:00 - 10 minutes - 13.6 MBYou will have noticed this is a well polished podcast with very few mistakes. That's because we make very few mistakes. Actually, it's because we saved them for this episode. Same thing really. Is it mostly Liv loudly drinking tea? Maybe. In the end though, that was so cool. _____ All rights reserved (c) 2024 Ghost Stories in the Sunlight. Please rate, review, subscribe and really enjoy life. We appreciate it.

The Hopkinsville Goblins and The Clown Car Story
February 29, 2024 16:00 - 29 minutes - 38.9 MBThe story of the Hopkinsville Goblins is the 'based on a true story' you've heard about without ever really hearing about. This 1950s encounter has all the makings of some of the best stories: UFOs, alien creatures, terrified humans in a farmhouse, and a clown car. Well...maybe not a clown car. But it's a nice image.

I Know Things and You Don't: Brownies
February 15, 2024 16:00 - 24 minutes - 36 MBNo, not the baked good, though that does come up... this week we're talking about the household spirit found throughout Scotland and Northern England. A mischevious, pernickety fixture of households known for helping out at night - or if you'd upset them - making a mess, brownies prove to be self-confident queens. The stories surrounding these iconic creatures are hilarious, as are some of the things Jess says (don't tell her I said that). Sources include: https://darachcroft.com/news/s...
The Isle of Demons
February 01, 2024 16:00 - 25 minutes - 32.5 MBOnce upon a time, around the 16th century, an ominous land known as 'The Isle of Demons' was found on maps. And then it disappeared. This raised questions. Which raised more questions. Where did it go? Why did it go? What was the original Zealand? And does Germany exist? Join us as we attempt to answer some of these questions, mispronounce things, and spread some gossip from the 1500s. (In all seriousness, sincerest apologies for Jess' pronunciation of Newfoundland. But it would make sense...
Were-Donkey
January 18, 2024 16:00 - 21 minutes - 21.3 MBWhat happens when you are an ass-hole to donkeys and strong women? You get something like the Donkey Lady of San Antonio, Texas at Old Apple White Bridge. A classic bridge story with hauntings, hooves, hoofs, wolves and maybe were-donkeys. At least some of those things. And ultimately we are left with another question...how would a Donkey Lady wear pants?

Merry Mitaarfik
January 04, 2024 16:00 - 20 minutes - 25.8 MBIt's just turned 2024, and there are many ways to celebrate the New Year. For example, in Greenland you might dress up as a mitaartoq for Mitaarfik and scare your neighbours for treats. You could also dance. That works too. Whichever you choose, we hope you enjoy our little exploration of a somewhat creepy but definitely cosy Inuit tradition. Just keep an eye out for the tiny tiny scary people.

Gurgles, Burbles and Babbles: Gef the Extra, Extra Clever Mongoose
September 28, 2023 16:00 - 33 minutes - 33.9 MBIn 1931 the Irvings started hearing scratches in the wall. At first they put it down to rodents or maybe a dog, but one night they heard something that sounded like a baby babbling in the attic. The creature in the walls revealed itself as Gef, the spirit of a mongoose/weasel, able to shape shift, split the atom and speak.

August 17, 2023 16:00 - 44 minutes - 65.7 MBIt is a doozy this week folks! Liv tells the story of a young girl plagued by a spirit, who captivated Georgian England. Jess is actually cooperative, which is weird. So weird in fact, that Liv can't speak - fabulous when she's trying to tell the story. We talk about respecting all entities, the protective power of blankets, and that Jess doesn't trust Lunchables for some reason. Oh, we're also NOT comfortable using legal jargon in everyday life and I did say dojo. Sources include: ...
The Winchester Mystery House
August 03, 2023 16:00 - 37 minutes - 36.6 MBIn 1886 when Sarah Winchester purchased Llanada Villa in San Jose, it was an eight-room farmhouse.

The Tiny House Movement
May 26, 2022 16:00 - 22 minutes - 23.5 MBJoin us for ramble through the Elf Rocks of Iceland as we talk about the amazing world of the Huldufolk, or 'Hidden People', and find out what this tiny house movement is everyone is talking about. We're also raising money to head to Elf School so any contributions are much appreciated. An additional apologies- we recorded during a storm, so the audio quality isn't 100%. But it does add to a spoopy atmosphere. Sources Include: https://streetartutopia.com/2021/06/20/icelands-tiny-house...
