About Ghost Tales by the Fireside

Ghost Tales by the Fireside is a podcast built around place, memory, and the stories that remain long after the people who first told them have gone.

Each episode begins with the location itself. A house, a road, an inn, a churchyard, a stretch of countryside, or a forgotten corner of a town. From there, the history is allowed to unfold naturally, revealing the lives, events, and details that have shaped that place over time.

The stories that follow are not exaggerated or forced. They are drawn from reported experiences, local memory, folklore, and, at times, direct accounts. Some are quiet. Some are unsettling. All are treated with the same care and attention.

The podcast covers locations across the United Kingdom, from well-known sites to smaller places that might otherwise be overlooked. The aim is not simply to tell ghost stories, but to understand why those stories exist, and what they say about the places they are connected to.

Ghost Tales by the Fireside is designed to be listened to slowly. It is not built around shock or spectacle, but around atmosphere, detail, and a sense of being present in the location itself.

If you have a story, a place, or an experience you would like to share, you are always welcome to send it in.
