I’ve an award winning podcast about all that’s weird and a little off kilter in the town of Biggleswade and Bedfordshire. History with a pinch of the paranormal, folklore & urban legends. I also like cake, cats, beating bosses and disability rights.
A morning of reminiscing, fresh sea air and book buying at the brilliant Clemo Books. A small but perfectly stocked indie bookshop. It’s a hard recommend from me. Books bought: Phantoms of Kernow and 13 Cornish Ghost Stories. Also got tipped off about local ghosts. 👻

Some photos from my train journey today.

I’m on the train to Cornwall. I’m listening to a playlist of all my fave songs from when I lived there (late 80s) The Beastie Boys Fight for Right has just come on and wow what a banger! Reminds me of journeys to school!

St James’ Park was looking suitably spooky yesterday afternoon. No sign of the headless red lady, sadly.

I’m going on an adventure!

I grabbed some lunch at Jones’ Coffee Shop and the steam from my green tea and sunlight created some cool ghostly shapes.

Today I have mainly been writing about green ladies for a future episode of Weird in the Wade. Invariably assoicated with water, these green lady ghosts reminded me of the photograph I took of this delightlul green girl (Alice in Wonderland) at Petwood Hotel in Lincolnshire.

I found a delicate snowdrop growing at Peterborough train station today. Snowdrops are associated with Imbolc and Candlemass. The Victorians thought it unlucky to pick them and bring them in the house. Maybe a lesson to children to leave the delicate flowers blooming for everyone else to enjoy.

Of course I played Pokemon Go in the graveyard this afternoon. It was so peaceful and the birdsong was lovely.

You can’t beat a good church door. This is the church at Donington Lincolnshire where explorer Matthew Flinders is now buried. His original grave was uncovered beneath Euston train station when HS2 work began. Hence the train in the memento mori panel.

I first heard this story in the excellent Scotland Yard Confidential which was cancelled sadly.

Just caught up on this excellent video from Rev Peter Laws. It’s such a fascinating case that even Fabian of the yard couldn’t solve. (Warning it is a gruesome story with animal cruelty mentioned.)

When in Bedford this week I visited the fabulous Eagle books and bought this 1923 edition of A College Mystery by A P Baker . Set at Christ College Cambridge it’s presented as a true ghost story. But not all is at it seems with this book. 1/2

I’ve still not caught up with my sleep after the haunted pub sleepover! It was such fun.
I’m back in Lincolnshire visiting my parents, to celebrate my Mum’s birthday today.
Bella the pod-dog thinks she should get a present too. I gave her a chewy 😊

Last night I recorded audio from a paranormal investigation at the Golden Pheasant pub in Biggleswade. I was joined by a lively group, some of whom you will recognise as guests on Weird in the Wade. One of the images is of Olie Campbell playing guitar in the bar at around 2am. 1/2

Preparing for a paranormal investigation! More information to follow.

A bit of a long shot this one. But do any listeners to Weird in the Wade have a connection to Christ College Cambridge?

After a hospital appointment earlier I popped into the Higgins Bedford. I thought I’d share a couple of photos. The first of the house. The second showing how the house is joined onto the old brewery (red brick building) with a modern extension.
No ghostly goings on today 👻

Does a ghostly child m ride this rocking horse? It has been seen ricking all by itself. Want to hear more? Listen to the latest episode of Weird in the Wade wherever you get your podcasts.
Did you have a toy as a child that gave you the creeps? I’ll share mine in the comments

3rd anniversary that should be!
I met up with Olie and Mike for a chat about a top secret project today. Don’t worry you’ll get to hear all about it soon and it’s for Weird in the Wade’s 1st anniversary in May!
