Summary

Right this way, Dear Guest! What if we told you that tonight, we're going to be doing a little spelunking or cave-dwelling? And not just so we can pet the bats, but because it is the birthplace of a very famous WITCH: Mother Shipton, "The Yorkshire Prophetess." Ms. Merrick will take you from her humble cave birth, through her eerily dramatic predictions, and finally the close of her life... and, she'll tell you how she lives on in a place that thousands of people visit each year. You'll love the haunting story of Mother Shipton!

Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for this episode’s amazing music AND sound design.
