Time Between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton

The Death Messenger of Mellincourt
Three knocks.
A cold winter night.
And a visitor who never arrives by chance.
In this haunting journey into the folklore of the Neath Valley, Owen Staton ventures deep into the shadows of Welsh belief to uncover the chilling tale of The Death Messenger. Drawn from the pages of nineteenth-century folklore, this unforgettable story tells of Modryb Nan of Mellincourt, an old woman who receives a mysterious midnight visitor dressed in black. A figure whose face is never seen. A figure everyone knows, yet nobody dares name.
As the fire burns low and moonlight spills across the mountains, a young man witnesses a terrifying encounter that will stay with him forever: a dance with Death itself.
Rich with atmosphere, ancient superstition, and the wild beauty of the Welsh landscape, this episode explores one of Wales’ most unsettling traditions—where Angau, the personification of death, is not an idea but a presence that walks the lonely roads between worlds.
So settle beside the fire, listen for the wind beyond the door, and pray you do not hear three knocks in the darkness.
Because some visitors arrive only once.
And when they leave, they never travel alone.

On a wild and windswept night in Cornwall, the distant cry of hounds carries across the moor.

They are searching still.

In this episode of Time Between Times, we delve into the chilling legend of Dando, the hunting priest whose thirst, pride, and reckless words led him into the company of the Devil himself. What began as a Sunday hunt through the Cornish countryside became a ride into darkness from which there could be no return.

Join Owen Staton beside the fire as we journey through ancient valleys, moonlit rivers, and haunted moorlands where the Wild Hunt still rides. Hear of spectral hounds with burning eyes, a mysterious stranger bearing an infernal drink, and a cursed priest condemned to an eternal chase beneath storm-filled skies.

This is a tale of temptation and damnation, of loyalty beyond death, and of the terrible price paid by those who follow their desires too far.

So settle back, listen to the wind outside your window, and ask yourself…

If you heard the baying of hounds in the darkness, would you dare to follow?
Some hunts end at Sunset and some hunts never end .

In the lonely marshlands and mist-soaked valleys of Wales, strange lights have long been seen drifting silently through the darkness.

Pale flames moving along forgotten roads.

Lanterns with no hand to carry them.

Omens of death.

Tonight, storyteller Owen Staton invites you into the haunting world of the Canwyll Corph — the Welsh corpse candles — where grief walks beside love, where ancient superstition lingers beneath chapel bells and sea mist, and where a young doctor discovers that some lights are not meant to be followed.

Rich with folklore, melancholy and eerie beauty, The Grim Lights is a deeply atmospheric tale of loss, longing and the flickering boundary between this world and the next.

So settle beside the fire, listen to the wind at the window… and if you glimpse a pale flame moving in the darkness beyond the glass…
Don’t follow it

Deep in the haunted hills of Ireland lies a grave that, according to legend, must never be opened…
In this chilling new episode of Time Between Times, storyteller Owen Staton journeys into the ancient darkness of the Abhartach legend — the terrifying tale many believe inspired Dracula himself.
Long before vampires stalked the pages of Gothic fiction, there was Abhartach. A cruel chieftain. A sorcerer. A thing that rose from the grave demanding blood from the living.
Beneath storm-dark skies and among the lonely thorn trees of old Ireland, Owen weaves a rich and atmospheric retelling of one of Celtic folklore’s most unsettling revenant tales. Expect ancient burial rites, moonlit terror, windswept hills and the dreadful sound of knocking at the door after midnight…
Perfect for listeners who love:
Dark folklore
Celtic ghost stories
Ancient vampire legends
Supernatural horror told by candlelight
So settle by the fire, keep the curtains closed, and listen carefully…
Because some things buried in the old earth do not sleep easily.

Tonight, Time Between Times journeys into the haunted coastal shadows of Cornwall for a chilling encounter with one of Britain’s most unsettling pieces of folklore — The White Hare of Looe.

When an old fisherman shares a tale whispered for generations along storm-lashed cliffs and moonless lanes, storyteller Owen Staton is drawn into a world where the boundaries between beast, spirit and human begin to dissolve.

A lonely cottage.A village paralysed by fear.And a pale creature seen watching from the edge of the dark before every tragedy strikes.

As the sea crashes beneath the cliffs of Looe, an ancient terror returns beneath the moonlight — silent, patient and waiting.

Because in Cornwall, some stories are not merely told.

They are remembered by the land itself.
