About this listen

 Nat meets up with Theresa the landlady of one of Biggleswade’s most mysterious pubs. There’s very little historical information about the Whistle and Flute, which changed its name from the Elephant and Castle in the 1990s. Theresa and her staff have all experienced strange phenomena in the pub, and Nat hopes to shed some light on why that might be. Nat also speaks with Lloyd Lugsden of the “Dead Pubs of Bedfordshire” project to find out if he has come across any themes when it comes to haunted pubs across the county. This leads Nat to uncover a tragic story about drunken driving of a horse and trap. Finally, Nat speaks with Kevin O’Shea from Supernatural Japan podcast about his experiences in haunted pubs in Canada and Japan. Japan’s drinking culture is traditionally very different to Europe and North America’s and it seems their rich ghost lore makes for some interesting experiences in their traditional inns (Ryoken.)
