This episode we visit Odell to chase down the ghost of Sir Rowland Alston on his desperate dash to save his soul. Fitz tells the tale of Jerusha Howe and the Longfellows wayside inn. KOFY listener and paranormal investigator Alan Tigwell shares his findings on a recent paranormal photo from Eynsford Castle that made the papers. We have listeners’ stories from Merrick, John & Tiff and an update on yet more spooky goings on at KOFY HQ!
