Ep 60: Owen Staton Storyteller: Welsh Fairies and Legends

I chat with Owen Staton, host of storytelling podcast, Time Between Times and Spectre of the Sea, an atmospheric thriller series weaving Welsh legend and folklore, which he co-hosts with Bethan Briggs-Miller (pictured above). We are treated to not one but TWO fantastic stories…including my personal favourite about the Tylwyth Teg (Welsh Fae folk) plus we hear Welsh legend, Gwion and the Witch .

Time Between Times Podcast

We hear about Owen’s childhood orb experience and he recounts some strange occurrences that took place during his days working as a police officer in south Wales.

Get yourselves comfortable and settle down for this tremendous treat of a storytelling session. Warning: while listening to Owen’s stories do not drive or operate machinery.

Ep 59: The Burgundy Kingdom – Shropshire Fairies

This episode, full of childhood encounters, holds a particularly enchanting quality. As a sick child lies in bed, he is visited by pixies. On another occasion, at the end of the Second World War, a terrifying goblin appears at the end of his bed. A member of the same family later experiences a bedtime parade of magical wonders. Her resulting dream journeys to a ‘Burgundy Kingdom’ makes her wish dearly that she could return.

Some of those experiences are beautiful and wondrous while others are quite unsettling. A further reminder that this podcast is not suitable for children or for those who are sensitive to creepy content.

⭐️On the bonus episode we hear more about the history of the house including a particularly unnerving event which took place soon after the passing of its owner. In that same bonus we will hear about our guest’s experience at the famous 800 year old oak tree, Old Knobbly in Essex.⭐️
