I’ve an award winning podcast about all that’s weird and a little off kilter in the town of Biggleswade and Bedfordshire. History with a pinch of the paranormal, folklore & urban legends. I also like cake, cats, beating bosses and disability rights.

Unfortunately this episode about the mysterious unidentified man found in Biggleswade 28 years ago, isn’t going to be available on the BBC. If you usually listen on BBC Sounds please consider listening to it elsewhere like YouTube for example youtu.be/cdfsqLHEqsI?...

Hahaha after the scam email about corrupt bureaucrats keeping hold of my money last week, today I got a messenger message from a dodgy looking dog saying he wanted to shower me with a weekly shopping allowance 🛍️🤑🐕 On serious note it’s so sad that desperate and lonely people are targeted like this. 😞

Tomorrow’s BBC Sounds episode is all about Camden House. Once a school and then notorious as a haunted newsagents. There’s a garden ghost and a Scooby Doo style reveal as well. This 1870 oil painting is by Winslow Homer. Did the headmistress of Camden House School look like this I wonder?
