Join us for our annual Halloween live podcast event and discover the spooky folklore of Cambridgeshire!

About the event:

It’s time for our annual Halloween live podcast event! Hosted by Ruth McPhee of the Ruth is Stranger than fiction podcast, this Halloween we will take a spooky but light-hearted journey through the folklore of Cambridgeshire. What fearsome animals and devilish beings stalk the fields and fens of our county? Black riders, unearthly lights, spectral dogs and (alleged) giant cats – the Shug Monkey is only the beginning!

About the speaker:

Ruth is Stranger than Fiction is a podcast about all things East Anglia, but particularly things of an unusual, folkloric, or macabre nature. An exploration of past episodes will reveal hauntings, murders, witch trials, scandals, diseases, ghouls, smugglers, and other dark tales from across the region.
