In episode 16, we present you with THE LOST EPISODE!!! aka The Hauntings of Pluckley.

Originally recorded in the summer of 2021, Covid and academia meant this episode has not seen the light of day till now and begins a summer of Grave History content.

Come with us as Catriona tells the ghost stories of the Most Haunted Village in England, and we investigate whether there is any truth to the tales. 

Content warning: many of these stories contain mentions of suicide. Approach accordingly.

Grave History: A Macabre History Podcast

17. Britain's First City

Please welcome episode 18, an interval between "seasons" as we work on writing, recording and editing the next episodes of spooky, macabre history.

Both of your hosts are big horror fans, as you may have worked out from numerous references made throughout the podcast. So, we decided to sit down one dark and stormy evening (in 2022) to dig through our relationships with horror and movies as a whole through a series of homemade questions. 

As we talk A LOT, this has been broken into two halves. Part one is out now, and part two will be here next month!

Please enjoy and we look forward to seeing you in our new season of spooky, morbid history!

18. Grave History at the Movies Part 1

CW: In this episode we mention the assault of a trans individual in relation to terrible director, David O Russell. It is not discussed in detail but we understand this can be distressing regardless. It is mentioned once and never again.
This was also recorded prior to the discovery of Neil Gaiman and Mark Hamill as terrible people. 

Grave History at the Movies is back for part two! In this half, we answer Teddy's questions and discuss animated horror, the Serious Man Cinematic Universe, and why Teddy dislikes Stephen Moffat so much.

Enjoy! See you for season two!
