Show notes

Episode 56 – Blitz Spirits It’s the morning after the night of 14th of November 1940, Coventry, England – a night seared and synonymous with terror. Walking through the rubble of Coventry Cathedral, stonemason Jack Forbes surveyed the landscape with utter disbelief. Fearing the shock was yet to catch up with him, he walked further forward – with ringing in his ears no doubt from the night before, it was there amid the smoke, the putrid air – bitter with shrapnel and burnt timber from fourteenth-century frames that used to so proudly hold Coventry city up – he saw something rather eerie and unexpected … This is episode 56 of the Haunted UK Podcast and in this episode, we go back in time to the 1940s in the UK; during a time when the veil between life and death was at its most fragile, most thin, most hard worn – a time when you never knew when your ‘number was up’ … Join us as we delve into some supernatural tales from the time as we uncover true courage, inspiration and … ‘Blitz Spirits’.
