On todays show we delve even deeper into the strange and unusual world of Manx folklore.

First, we hunt down a fairy cave said to be inhabited by a sea witch and then onward to a famous fairy hill where time is said to standstill and people are never quite the same again. Strange animals, haunted houses, witches and wizards.

Come now to where the piper plays and you mustn't drink the wine.

Welcome to Ellen Vannin, the shrouded and mysterious Isle of Man.

On todays adventure we travel further than ever before, across the Irish Sea in search of Fynoderees, Bugganes and of course the Good Folk, we hear tales of famous witches whose echoes would reach around the world, fairy hills that can swallow you whole, ancient wells and saintly thieves and of course a little bit about the Bee Gees.

Expect phantoms, motorbikes and the rise of a sea god.

On todays show we go looking for the Straw Bear of Whittlesea, an annual winter custom set deep in the Cambridgeshire Fenlands.

No one quite knows where the bear comes from or how it even began but we do know that it was banned in the 19th century as it was seen as a form of begging. A person or driver is wrapped completely in Straw, head to toe, and danced around the town to celebrate Plough Monday. After the revival it's now seen as something of enormous pride for the local population, bringing in people and Morris sides from all over the country.

Expect sub zero temperatures, Woodwo's and plenty of Osses!
