{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Echoes from the Loam","slug":"echoesfromtheloam","podcastDescription":"

Welcome to Echoes from the Loam, where stories breathe, shadows speak, and every tale leaves a mark.

I'm your Narrator Fauna Blakewell, I'm a mother, a witch and student of all things spooky.

I'Il be exploring global tales of the weird and spooky.

Each episode, we'll hear an original or a tale based on old faithful legends from lore that unearth the strange, the sorrowful, and the slightly twisted, from haunted objects to black dogs and things that go bump in the night.

I've given you the first 3 installments as a gift, a welcome to my realm so to speak.

I will be releasing new episodes weekly on a Tuesday morning UK time.

The sorrowful tale of a bride and her untimely demise.

Remember these rules:

Do not plant thistle in spring.

Do not wear white on the moor.

Do not speak her name after dusk.

You are the vow....
