Echoes from the Loam
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.

Imbolc arrives not with thunder, but with a whisper—the soft sigh of thawing earth, the hush of snowmelt beneath the hedgerow. It is the quickening of the year, when life stirs unseen beneath the soil and the first lambs cry out in the cold.

A descent into the heart of Appalachian legend—where the Bell Witch waits in a house that remembers, a sigil pulses beneath the floorboards, and bloodlines carry promises the living never made.

we follow a story that rises from the older layers of the Appalachians — the places where the soil keeps its secrets close, and the dark moves with its own quiet purpose.

The Snallygaster is not finished.
It has simply chosen its next beginning.
If you felt the shift in the air tonight… you weren’t alone. The ridge remembers. The forest remembers. And somewhere out there, wings still beat against the dark.

Today, we’re stepping into a season that pretends to be gentle.
Ostara.
The equinox.
The moment when light and dark stand eye‑to‑eye, neither willing to bow first.
So light your lanterns, snuggle down and if this attuned with you, like share and repost.
It helps small authors like me be seen in the algorithms and is gratefully received.

This story is one that clings to the edges of highways and riverbanks, a shadow perched just beyond the reach of headlights.
A presence older than the bridges we build and older than the towns that pretend not to see it.

Night lay over the hills like a thick pelt, heavy and matted with mist. Joseph Signet guided his truck along the narrow mountain road, the headlights slicing a thin, trembling path through the dark.
The forest crowded close on both sides, branches leaning inward as though eavesdropping on his passage. Even the air felt watchful.
