In today's podcast I am joined by Richard Sugg as we dive into the question that surrounds animals and the supernatural.
From tales of animal ghosts, to how we investigate in the paranormal as well as the place that animals hold within history as conduits to the spirit realm... we discuss it all alongside sharing examples of incredible paranormal activities and powers that animals seem to possess as we examine Richard's book: 'A Singing Mouse at Buckingham Palace: and other amazing animal stories from the nineteenth century.' Yes: mice really can sing; and in 1843 one captured in a London slum was summoned to give a command performance for Queen Victoria’s children.
Thank you for listening.
