We’re sailing into spooky season this month with a ghoulish ghost story! Meet The Lady Lovibond, the ghost ship said to haunt the Goodwin Sands off the coast of Deal in Kent, appearing every 50 years - doomed to re-create her tragic fate.
In today’s episode we take a virtual trip to the seaside and dive head-first into the world of this legendary ghost story. Enjoy an atmospheric retelling of the ship’s ill-fated voyage, then back on dry land we explore the ghost ship's history, connection to Kent's folklore and (perhaps slightly questionable) origins.
This episode is perfect for cosying up to on a dark autumnal evening - and hopefully, a fun start to your Halloween season!
