Stirling Ghostwalk

13/06/2026

As my own dissappears, we look at the importance of voices in representing different aspects of Scottisj folklore - from the siren-song of the Selkie, to the seductive call of the Silkie and Kelpie and - in the mountain caverns of the Highlands, the secret-origin of the Echo.

This week...an extended version of my Wolf In The Fold piece fom the Culture Night 'Carnival Of The Wolf' - looking at the ironic iconic linl between the Burgh's predator-turned-protector and the Burgh Baillies.

More beastly, still, bronchiectasis has done a number on my throat - so I'll apologise in advance for my voice

No Ghostwalk on Friday 8th May.

A music event is being staged in the grounds of the Old Town Jail - nothing to do with the Jail, itself - so, from past experience, the noise in the OT would spoil The Hangman's tales.

GW returns Saturday 9th!

This week on Spooks and Bogles...a look at the 1974 visit to Scotland by the Austrian-American 'father of popular parapsychology', Hans Holzer, a passionate multi-media advocate of all things Psi and Spooky...who has never been mentioned in six years of this show. A man who, like Mulder, WANTED to believe...but perhaps lost his objectivity along the way.
