麻豆约拍

Join Mark and Euan for a suitably spooky Halloween themed programme.

Throughout the programme we hear from Urban Witch and academic, Alice Tarbuck, who shares her approach to magic through connecting to the natural world and folklore.

Mark tests his nerve on a ghost walk to some of Edinburgh鈥檚 most haunted locations. Will he meet the MacKenzie poltergeist who apparently makes his home in Greyfriars Cemetery?

We鈥檙e joined live by Susan Morrison, presenter of 麻豆约拍 Radio Scotland鈥檚 Time Travels and Witch Hunt to discuss why we are so fascinated with the macabre. Susan also tells us about her favourite scary stories.

Our archive piece comes from 2016 when Mark visited the small East Lothian village of Spott. Several alleged witches were executed there in the 17th and 18th centuries and Mark hears about one in particular, Marion Lillie.

Our mystery bird this week makes a rather spooky sound- do you know what it is?

And Euan tells a spooky tale of the high seas involving a ghostly ship.
