42. Return From the Dead: Witches, Warlocks, and The Water of Life

What happens when death is not final? In Scottish folklore people returning from the dead is not only rare, but also, as we find out in this episode, absolutely terrifying.

The three tales Jenny tells make up a spooky sandwich of scary stories: the first, ‘A Dead Wife Among the Fairies’ comes from North Ronaldsay on Orkney, the second,

‘The Water or Life’ comes from the shores of Loch Fyne, and the third,

‘Wizard Rising After Death’ comes from the remote hills of Ross-shire.

But beware, these tales are not for the faint of heart, so listen at your own peril!
