Podcast: The Hound of the Baskervilles: Dartmoor’s Demon Dogs, by Beastly History
It’s 1901. Author Arthur Conan Doyle is on holiday when he first hears whispers of a chilling local legend – spectral hounds said to tear across the wilds of Dartmoor under cover of darkness.
A tale of an evil squire. A cursed family. And a pack of demonic dogs haunting the moors.
We’re delving into the story of how this eerie West Country folklore inspired one of the greatest gothic thrillers of all time: The Hound of the Baskervilles – and why its creation posed a huge dilemma for Doyle and his most famous character, Sherlock Holmes.

Halloween Special | Witches Familiars
Is your cat the devil in disguise? Probably not, although they may act like something possessed sometimes! But once upon a time, friendliness towards cats, rabbits or dogs could lead to accusations of witchcraft, as these animals, known as familiars, were suspected of working for the devil. Learn the history of familiars through the story of Elizabeth Clarke, a poor disabled woman from Essex accused of being seen with these supernatural beings.

Podcast: ‘The Romany & Sheldon Death Show’, by Cemetery Club
The Romany & Sheldon Death Show
In May 2020 Dr. Romany Reagan shared a Facebook status posing a scenario: the events experienced by a hypothetical person born in 1900. Aged 14, World War One begins. When you’re 29: The Great Depression hits. Aged 62, you have the Cuban Missile Crisis. This led Cemetery Club founder Sheldon K.Goodman to question: how sheltered are we from death nowadays? How has Coronavirus changed our attitude towards it? How are cemeteries adapting to changing ways of memorialisation and remembrance? Are they even needed any more? Join cemetery historians and guides Romany and Sheldon in a friendly death-positive conversation that we’d love you to get involved with.
