Join us for the third of our four spooky historic Halloween episodes as we bring you the terrifying tale of The Thing That Came in the Night.

In this episode we hear the horrifying tale of a monster living in a Roman latrine and the poor servant tasked with stopping it, adapted from the 2nd Century text On the Characteristics of Animals.

One more spooky story will be released on Halloween. Make sure you go back and listen to episode one The Haunted Moorland and episode two The Invisible Drummer.

And for a funny video version of this episode, check out the JORVIK Group YouTube channel.

This year's JORVIK Viking Festival takes place the 11th to the 19th February. For a full programme of events check out the JORVIK Viking Festival website.

A Digital Viking Festival, a.k.a. That JORVIK Viking Thing, will be taking place online for our listeners around the world! Details can be found at That JORVIK Viking Thing.
