In this second episode of the dragons' spooky-a-thon, Jules and Madeleine take a look at a selection of the most haunted buildings in Britain and Ireland. Once again following a murky, sometimes sordid and often bloody path through history, they examine the ghost stories that have grown up around these buildings, compare subjective experiences from witnesses and speculate as to why some houses and inns acquire their reputation for being haunted. From the Ancient Ram to Sudeley Castle, this is an episode to listen to with the lights on ;)
