About this episode
This week we discuss the case of Mary Blandy, whose ghost haunts the streets of Henley on Thames and Oxford.
Was this educated young woman really guilty of murdering her father, or was she led astray? Why did she think love potions would help her cause? And is oat milk the new gruel?
This week's secret ingredient is...gruel.
