Time Between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton

Tonight, at the firepit at the heart of the forest, I take you north to the dark and beautiful countryside of Yorkshire, and to an old legend surrounding Swinsty Hall.
It is the story of a poor man who returned from plague-ridden London with a fortune in gold — wealth taken from the houses of the dead.
But gold carries memories.
And when guilt began to trouble him, he found a lonely spring and started to wash his stolen treasure in its cold waters.
They say he never stopped.
Even now, when the mist gathers amongst the trees and the last light disappears from the hills, some say a figure can still be seen beside the water…
washing the gold.
A tale of greed, guilt, ghosts and a debt that even death could not repay.
Come closer to the fire, my friends.
Leave the world behind for a while.
And listen…
to The Gold That Would Not Be Washed Clean.

Some stories refuse to disappear.
In this episode of Time between Times, I take you deep into the lonely mountains of Cardiganshire and the tragic story of Catrin Gwyn — a young woman who vanished during a storm in 1705, leaving behind nothing but a fragment of red cloth beside a lonely bog.
But Catrin’s story did not end there.
They said she returned as White Catti of the Grove Cave, a pale figure seen amongst the mist and ruined shepherd’s cottages, leading travellers towards the river and the darkness.
And somewhere in those mountains, they say, she may still be walking.
So come closer to the fire, leave the worries of the day behind, and listen carefully…
Because if you hear footsteps following you through the mist…
whatever you do, don’t look back.

BWGAN YR HAFOD — THE GHOST OF HAFOD
Tonight, we step into the darkness of an old Welsh house where stones appeared from nowhere, potatoes flew through the air and a great wooden table was hurled against the ceiling.
But what was haunting Hafod Uchtryd?
Come closer to the fire and enter the strange and unsettling world of Bwgan yr Hafod — one of Wales’ most extraordinary tales of the supernatural.
Leave your worries behind, my friends… and listen carefully.

Some roads should perhaps never be walked alone after dark.
In this episode of Time between Times, I bring you two unsettling tales from the old roads of Glamorgan.
A man walking between Bridgend and Cardiff who suddenly finds himself carrying something he cannot see…
And a young girl from the Neath area who realises that something strange is following her home through the darkness.
Two encounters.
Two lonely roads.
And two things that perhaps should never have been there.
So come and sit with me at the firepit at the heart of the forest, leave the worries of the day behind and listen carefully…
Because sometimes, my friends, the footsteps behind us aren’t our own.

THE TONDU SPECTRE
Something once walked the dark roads around Tondu…
In this chilling episode of Time between Times, I tell the extraordinary story of the Tondu Spectre — a terrifying, death-like figure said to have appeared in 1904 and physically attacked a man on a lonely road.
Was it a ghost, a hoax, or something far stranger?
I’m also joined by writer and researcher Rachel Taylor, who has been researching the ghosts and haunted history of Bridgend. Together we delve into the stories, places and folklore that have given this corner of South Wales such a rich supernatural history.
Turn down the lights…
Come closer to the fire…
And listen carefully.
Because in the darkness around Tondu…
something was waiting.
