Knock Once For Yes

A mini episode on some of the ghosts, myths and legends of the beautiful and mysterious Dartmoor National Park, and the battle facing the park today. Originally intended to be a short news article for the paranormal radar, this story, about the folklore of Dartmoor gaining relevance and meaning in these turbulent modern times, ended up turning into something bigger and demanded to be given its own episode, and who are we to deny the ancient land spirits?!

This episode we look into a spate of paranormal activity in the 80’s that spurred the local council to take dramatic action on the paranormal radar.  We have listeners stories from Cody, Eliott and Megan. And we’ll be speaking to one of the pioneers of paranormal podcasting – The one and only Jim Harold!   Check out all of Jim's shows at JimHarold.com
