<p>Come closer, warm yourself by the fire, and don't look too closely at the shadows playing at the edges of the room. Dr. Eleanor Janega explores eerie medieval ghost tales with Dr. Michael Carter, of knights with blood-stained souls and transforming ravens, fleeing monks and night walkers.</p><p>Together they explore how winter hauntings reflected beliefs about ghosts, purgatory, and prayers for the dead, and why such stories, later revived by M.R. James, still captivate us today.</p><br><p><strong>MORE</strong></p><p><strong>The Haunting Medieval World of M.R.James</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-haunting-medieval-world-of-m-r-james/id1564113746?i=1000678615636" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/6pLUWweO1IJ2a4FhTJhUvv" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p><br><p><strong>Supernatural Medieval Ireland</strong></p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/supernatural-medieval-ireland/id1564113746?i=1000691906380" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/05WoMMJK9VMM7LiKp3QQ0w" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen on Spotify</a></p><br><p>Gone Medieval is presented by Dr Eleanor Janega.
