Launched initially on the 30th October 2022, the decision was made in late February 2023 to transition from a site of purely readable articles into a podcast. The podcast (and some written articles on this site still) includes stories and information on ghostlore, folk customs and superstitions, history and archaeology, as well as details on site investigations into our region’s alleged paranormal phenomena. In time, the Boggart hopes to build a vast and knowledgeable community via social media
