#94 / Charles Christian on Werewolves, Vampires and the Wold Newton Triangle
Charles Christian is an English barrister and Reuters correspondent turned writer, podcaster, award-winning tech journalist, and sometime werewolf hunter. He now writes, talks and makes videos mainly about folklore, urban myths, history, and the weird. He was born a ‘chime child’ with a caul so, according to legend, cannot drown at sea but can see and talk to ghosts and fairy folk without fear of coming to harm...
He is the author of "A travel guide to Yorkshire’s Weird Wolds: The Mysterious Wold Newton Triangle” and “Saints & Sinners in Dark Age England”. His latest book is “Shuckland: Weird tales, ghosts, folklore and legends from East Anglia’s Waveney valley” – volume one of a new haunted landscapes series – and he is currently writing an almanack of real witches and sorcerers, along with other practitioners of magic – black and white, from earliest times through until the modern era.
If you are fascinated by the weird, the unexplained and the bizarre, then you’ll enjoy this fascinating road trip around what he calls the Wold Newton Triangle, where rather odd events have occurred, unmatched anywhere else in Britain. We also talk about the aforementioned werewolf hunting, and a grisly discovery he made while investigating the Highgate vampire.
In the Plus show we discuss Charles’s upcoming book on Witchcraft and the legends of the Woodwose, England's analogue for the Bigfoot. And we wrap up discussing the nature of folklore.
