Halloween. The night when the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest. When ghosts walk and corpses writhe, and innocent souls had best beware. Storyteller Brice Stratford takes you on a wild and witchy ride, fascinating and unnerving in equal measure, through the twists and turns of Allhallowstide, and the forgotten history of Halloween and the wider Hallowmas season, with ghost stories, ancestor worship, bone fires, otherworld pixies, Pagan belief and archaic, Christian mythology along the way. Revealed chapter by chapter are the tales and lore that lurk beneath the tricks and treats we know so well, and the ancient flame that keeps the Jack O''Lantern lit. Light the candles, lock the doors, and prepare to be unsettled. Are you sitting comfortably? Then let-s begin.
