    Weird North - Episode 1: The Cursed Crematorium

    A midnight fare. A restless soul. A story you’ll never forget.
    Step past the gates of Carleton Crematorium and into a tangled web of history, folklore, and lingering spirits. In tonight’s tale, host Zowie Swan shares the chilling story of taxi driver Harry Hodges, who encountered a ghastly green-faced apparition during a midnight fare. Was it the restless soul of Mrs Abigail Whalley, murdered five years earlier under mysterious circumstances, returned for vengeance? And what ancient forces linger along the Hollow Way known as Robins Lane, where sanctified ground meets pagan roots? Dare you walk here after dark?

    Join Zowie for the very first chapter of Weird North.
