This week, we are diving into the haunted heart of Tudor England.

And to start things off, this is a clip from Victoria Thompson's talk at TudorCon 2024,

a spine-diggling tour through East Anglia's ghost stories, pagan echoes, and eerie folklore that lingers in churchyards and coastal ruins.

From drowned medieval towns and phantom hounds to restless monks and ritual magic in old timber

beams, Victoria reminds us that Tudor England was never short on things that go bump in the night.

So grab some mold cider, settle in by the fire, maybe keep the lights on, and enjoy this glimpse into the darker corners of Tudor history.

Enjoy, my friend.

Don it. Enjoy, my friend. Dunwich is a tiny list.

It was a major port town in Kennedy,

but coastal erosion chipped away and chipped away,

and there was a massive storm in Sanct beneath the sea.

So the churchyards in Dunwich,

if you walk along the beach, you can still see bones, long bones, skulls sticking out of

with its face because the coastal erosion is still eating parts of a visual way. And there was a big

Leper Colony there. And that's also a source for some of the veins of sticking out. So it's obviously, there's obviously going to be quite a bit of supernatural stuff going on there. But the most interesting one for me is people have seen an Elizabethan sailor at Dungich. And he saunders down to the sea, gets in a boat and

sells away the day, which I think is quite nice, just quite happy, if you're going to. Do you all know

who he is? Nobody said of him.

I know that Heather did put him in one of her podcasts.

So he is Thomas Setford.

He's a Suffolk boy.

He was highly educated.

He went to Cambridge and then Gray's Inn.
