Britain's waters are older than it's roads, it villages, and even it's written history. Long before charts and warning signs, people told stories to explain what lurked beneath their still surfaces.

In this episode of Mythic Albion, we wade into the dark folklore of Britain's rivers, lochs, and coasts to uncover the legends of its most feared water spirits.

We encounter the Kelpie, the shape-shifting water horse of Scotland that lured riders to a drowning death. The Grindylow, a lurking presence beneath ponds and mill waters, waiting to snatch unwary children. And the Mermaids of Britain's shores - not gentle singers, but omens of storms, shipwrecks and loss.

Through dramatized storytelling and reflection, this episode explores why wayer has always been a boundary between worlds, a source of life, and a force of quiet terror. These spirits were not merely monsters, but warnings - shaped by grief, danger and respect for a power humanity could never fully tame.

For centuries, Britain has embraced a winter tradition more chilling than cheerful: the telling of ghost stories at Christmas.

And none understood this better than M.R. James - master of the uncanny, scholar of the supernatural, and creator of tales that burrow under the skin.

In this Christmas special, we bring to life one of his most haunting works: A Warning to the Curious.

On the bleak Norfolk coast, an amateur achaeologist named Paxton believes he has uncovered the last of the mythical Anglo-Saxon crowns - treasures said to protect England from invasion. But some relics are guarded by more than legend...and Paxton's discovery awakens an ancient sentinel that does not rest, does not forgive and does not stop.

Through storm - lashed dunes, flickering candles, and the cold hush of winter nights, this tale unfolds as a warning from the past:

some secrets were never meant to be found.

This episode blends atmospheric dramatization with the eerie storytelling spirit of M.R. James himself - made for quiet December nights, when the boundary between the living and the lost grows thin.

Settle in.

Dim the lights

And listen closely..

For over 900 years, the Tower of London has stood as a symbol of power, fear and mystery. Its stones have witnessed royal triumphs and terrible betrayals, whispered conspiracies and desperate prayers, coronations and executions. And through it all, the Tower has gathered layer upon layer of folklore - tales of wandering spirits, omens of doom and ancient protective wards woven into its very foundations.

In this episode, we descend into the shadows of Britain's most haunted fortress.

You'll hear the chilling story of the Princes in the Tower, the eeries apparations said to walk the battlements, and the legend of the ravens - those watchful guardians whose presence is believed to protect both the fortress and the kingdom itself. We uncover cursed jewels, spectral Queens, phantom explorers and the darker echoes left by centuries of imprisonment and punishment.

Blending history and folklore, we explore why the Tower remains one of the most supernaturally charged sites in all of Britain - a place where the past refuses to stay silent.

Step inside...if you dare!
