Episode 22 starts with the origins of Burns Night and a look at the folklore surrounding Scotland's national dish, haggis. From there the episode turns to Durham City and the tale of Sir John Duck and the Raven, before heading across to Northumberland for a swift peek at the ghosts of The Lord Crewe Arms in Blanchland. From there, the Boggart gives a reading from the 1850 book "The Phantom World, or the philosophy of spirits, apparitions" before concluding with another 1962 from the archives tale of Blyth's 'Peter the Poltergeist'.

’The Haggis season has begun, and all over Scotland every gun, Stick ordained with loving care, (Though some prefer the haggis snare) The Haggis are a wily lot, That’s why they are so seldom caught.’ If you know, you know 😄❤️
