In Episode 66 of the Weird Tales Radio Show: We take a look at Whitsuntide folklore and ask how did Old Mother Shipton get involved? And we also investigate the sale of religious relics today - did you know your can bid for a vial of the blood of Jesus Christ or a piece of the Virgin Mary’s vest on the internet right now? We have a truth is stranger than fiction tale worthy of M.R. James from 17th century France where a murder was condemned to death on the strength of the wrong skeleton. Finally we revisit the perennial urban myth of the White Van Man.
