  • This week on Time Between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton, we’re staying close to home as we climb one of the most atmospheric roads in South Wales…

    The lonely Bwlch Road between Baglan and Cwmavon.

    Many of us have driven this road countless times. We’ve watched the mist roll over the mountain, felt the wind buffet the car, and admired the breathtaking views across Port Talbot and the Afan Valley. But what if this ancient pass remembers far more than it reveals?

    Local legend speaks of a mysterious figure standing beside the old mine workings high on the mountain. Silent. Motionless. Forever pointing into the darkness beneath the earth.

    Who is he?

    A miner who never returned home?

    A guardian watching over those still resting beneath the mountain?

    Or a warning to those who venture too close to forgotten places?

    In this new episode, I weave together the history of the Bwlch, the rich mining heritage of the Port Talbot area, and one of its most intriguing ghost stories into a tale of memory, mystery and the enduring spirit of our Welsh landscape.

    If you’ve ever travelled the road between Cwmavon and Baglan, this story may make you see it in a very different light.

    So dim the lights, settle by the fire, and join me as we journey once more into the Time Between Times…

  • The Fairy Funeral

    This week on Time Between Times Storytelling with Owen Staton, we leave the well-worn paths behind and climb into the lonely Welsh hills, where the veil between our world and the Otherworld is said to be at its thinnest.

    When an old shepherd hears the distant ringing of unseen bells, he finds himself standing before a silent funeral procession unlike any ever witnessed by mortal eyes. Drawn towards a tiny white-thorn coffin carried by the mysterious Tylwyth Teg, he uncovers an ancient truth about memory, loss, and the stories that refuse to die.

    Inspired by the rich folklore of Wales, The Fairy Funeral is an original tale of haunting beauty that explores the hidden roads of the Fair Folk and reminds us that every name remembered keeps a light burning against the darkness.

    So dim the lights, settle by the fire, and join me for another journey into the places where myth lingers in the mist and every whisper on the wind carries the echo of an older world.

    Welcome… to The Time Between Times.

  • High above an ancient Cornish church, something waits in the gathering dusk.

    In 1976, terrified witnesses reported seeing a towering winged figure perched upon the church tower at Mawnan Smith. With glowing eyes, vast feathered wings, and a shape that seemed both human and owl, the creature would become one of Britain’s most enduring modern mysteries: the Owlman of Mawnan.

    Join Owen Staton as we journey into the shadowed woodlands of Cornwall, where ancient trees crowd forgotten paths and old stones hold older secrets. Together we’ll explore the chilling encounters, the folklore of the night, and the unsettling feeling that sometimes, when darkness falls, something may be watching from above.

    So settle by the fire, listen to the wind beyond the window, and keep your eyes on the sky.

    Because tonight, we enter the woods beneath the church tower… and search for the Owlman.

    Welcome to The Time Between Times.

    Take care

  • The Red Lady of Paviland.

    Friends, tonight I’m taking you to a place where the land falls away into the sea, where the wind howls across the cliffs of Gower and the waves whisper against ancient stone. Hidden there is a cave that kept its secret for more than 33,000 years.

    In the latest episode of The Time Between Times, we journey deep into Ice Age Wales to uncover the extraordinary story of the Red Lady of Paviland — one of the oldest ceremonial burials ever discovered in Western Europe.

    This is a story that has everything I love: mammoths wandering across frozen landscapes, ancient rituals lost to time, archaeological mysteries, and a remarkable discovery that challenged everything people thought they knew about the distant past.

    Who was the young man buried beneath a blanket of red ochre? Why was he laid to rest with such care? And what can his grave tell us about the beliefs, hopes and dreams of people who lived tens of thousands of years ago?

    It’s a tale of wonder, mystery and deep human connection — a reminder that even across unimaginable stretches of time, the people of the past are never quite as distant as they seem.

    So pull up a chair by the fire, settle in, and join me as we step beyond history and into deep time itself.

    I can’t wait for you to hear this one. Welcome… to The Time Between Times.

  • The Death Messenger of Mellincourt

    Three knocks.

    A cold winter night.

    And a visitor who never arrives by chance.

    In this haunting journey into the folklore of the Neath Valley, Owen Staton ventures deep into the shadows of Welsh belief to uncover the chilling tale of The Death Messenger. Drawn from the pages of nineteenth-century folklore, this unforgettable story tells of Modryb Nan of Mellincourt, an old woman who receives a mysterious midnight visitor dressed in black. A figure whose face is never seen. A figure everyone knows, yet nobody dares name.

    As the fire burns low and moonlight spills across the mountains, a young man witnesses a terrifying encounter that will stay with him forever: a dance with Death itself.

    Rich with atmosphere, ancient superstition, and the wild beauty of the Welsh landscape, this episode explores one of Wales’ most unsettling traditions—where Angau, the personification of death, is not an idea but a presence that walks the lonely roads between worlds.

    So settle beside the fire, listen for the wind beyond the door, and pray you do not hear three knocks in the darkness.

    Because some visitors arrive only once.

    And when they leave, they never travel alone.

  • On a wild and windswept night in Cornwall, the distant cry of hounds carries across the moor.

    They are searching still.

    In this episode of Time Between Times, we delve into the chilling legend of Dando, the hunting priest whose thirst, pride, and reckless words led him into the company of the Devil himself. What began as a Sunday hunt through the Cornish countryside became a ride into darkness from which there could be no return.

    Join Owen Staton beside the fire as we journey through ancient valleys, moonlit rivers, and haunted moorlands where the Wild Hunt still rides. Hear of spectral hounds with burning eyes, a mysterious stranger bearing an infernal drink, and a cursed priest condemned to an eternal chase beneath storm-filled skies.

    This is a tale of temptation and damnation, of loyalty beyond death, and of the terrible price paid by those who follow their desires too far.

    So settle back, listen to the wind outside your window, and ask yourself…

    If you heard the baying of hounds in the darkness, would you dare to follow?

    Some hunts end at Sunset and some hunts never end .

  • In the lonely marshlands and mist-soaked valleys of Wales, strange lights have long been seen drifting silently through the darkness.

    Pale flames moving along forgotten roads.

    Lanterns with no hand to carry them.

    Omens of death.

    Tonight, storyteller Owen Staton invites you into the haunting world of the Canwyll Corph — the Welsh corpse candles — where grief walks beside love, where ancient superstition lingers beneath chapel bells and sea mist, and where a young doctor discovers that some lights are not meant to be followed.

    Rich with folklore, melancholy and eerie beauty, The Grim Lights is a deeply atmospheric tale of loss, longing and the flickering boundary between this world and the next.

    So settle beside the fire, listen to the wind at the window… and if you glimpse a pale flame moving in the darkness beyond the glass…

    Don’t follow it

  • Deep in the haunted hills of Ireland lies a grave that, according to legend, must never be opened…

    In this chilling new episode of Time Between Times, storyteller Owen Staton journeys into the ancient darkness of the Abhartach legend — the terrifying tale many believe inspired Dracula himself.

    Long before vampires stalked the pages of Gothic fiction, there was Abhartach. A cruel chieftain. A sorcerer. A thing that rose from the grave demanding blood from the living.

    Beneath storm-dark skies and among the lonely thorn trees of old Ireland, Owen weaves a rich and atmospheric retelling of one of Celtic folklore’s most unsettling revenant tales. Expect ancient burial rites, moonlit terror, windswept hills and the dreadful sound of knocking at the door after midnight…

    Perfect for listeners who love:

    Dark folkloreCeltic ghost storiesAncient vampire legendsSupernatural horror told by candlelight

    So settle by the fire, keep the curtains closed, and listen carefully…

    Because some things buried in the old earth do not sleep easily.

  • Tonight, Time Between Times journeys into the haunted coastal shadows of Cornwall for a chilling encounter with one of Britain’s most unsettling pieces of folklore — The White Hare of Looe.

    When an old fisherman shares a tale whispered for generations along storm-lashed cliffs and moonless lanes, storyteller Owen Staton is drawn into a world where the boundaries between beast, spirit and human begin to dissolve.

    A lonely cottage.A village paralysed by fear.And a pale creature seen watching from the edge of the dark before every tragedy strikes.

    As the sea crashes beneath the cliffs of Looe, an ancient terror returns beneath the moonlight — silent, patient and waiting.

    Because in Cornwall, some stories are not merely told.

    They are remembered by the land itself.

  • Tonight, on The Time Between Times Storytelling Podcast, Owen Staton journeys deep into the haunted hills of old Wales to uncover one of the most chilling and forgotten fairy legends ever told.

    Two men walk home beneath the moonlight after a fair in Bala. Only one returns.

    The other has vanished amongst the standing stones after hearing impossible music drifting across the dark hills…

    Soon whispers spread through the valley. Murder is suspected. Friend turns against friend. And the lonely road through the Berwyn mountains becomes a place of dread.

    But months later, the missing man returns with a terrible tale:of silver-eyed dancers…golden halls beneath the earth…and an evening of revelry that lasted far longer than any mortal night.

    In this dark and atmospheric retelling of a rare nineteenth-century Welsh fairy legend, Owen Staton brings to life the eerie beauty of the Tylwyth Teg and the ancient belief that some roads in Wales do not entirely belong to our world.

    So dim the lights, stir the fire, and listen carefully…

    Because if you hear music upon the hills after midnight, you must never follow it.

  • There are some houses that remember…

    And there are some that refuse to forget.

    This week on Time Between Times, storyteller Owen Staton invites you to step beyond the threshold of Burton Agnes Hall, where beauty and terror have walked hand in hand for over four hundred years. In this chilling new episode, Owen breathes life into the legend of Anne Griffith—the young woman who loved her home so fiercely… that even death could not take her from it.

    Beaten on a lonely road and carried back to the house she adored, Anne’s final words would echo through the centuries: she would never rest unless part of her remained within those walls.

    What followed is one of England’s most unsettling hauntings.

    A skull hidden deep within the fabric of the house.

    Footsteps in empty corridors.

    And a silence that only holds… so long as she is obeyed.

    With his signature blend of warmth, wit, and creeping dread, Owen Staton weaves history, folklore, and atmosphere into a tale that lingers long after the final word is spoken. Expect candlelit corridors, echoing chambers, and a story that tightens slowly… before refusing to let go.

    Perfect listening for dark evenings, long journeys, or those quiet hours when the house around you begins to feel… just a little too still.

    Dare you listen?

  • The Man Who Walked Behind Himself

    There are some things in Welsh folklore that do not scream… do not chase… do not haunt in the way we expect.

    They simply wait.

    In this chilling episode of Time Between Times, storyteller Owen Staton invites you into the shadowed churchyard of St Digain’s Church—where an ancient yew tree has watched centuries pass… and where one man, walking home from a wake, encountered something far more terrifying than a ghost.

    He saw himself.

    Not as he was…

    …but as he would be.

    Drawing on the deeply unsettling Celtic belief of the fetch—a living person’s double, seen only before death—this episode weaves atmosphere, folklore, and quiet dread into a tale that lingers long after the telling.

    Because in Wales, the land remembers…

    …and sometimes… it shows you what’s waiting ahead.

    Listen closely. Walk carefully.

    And whatever you do—

    Do not let it turn.

  • A simple hunt.
    A quiet vigil in the branches of an ancient oak.
    And then… a sound.

    ā€œOh… Ohā€¦ā€

    What follows is a story of stillness… of fear… and of something that waits in the darkness, not to strike… but to watch.

    So settle in, lower the lights, and let the world fall away for a while…
    as we step together into that thin place between night and morning…
    where not everything that walks the woods belongs to the living.

    Time Between Times — where stories linger… long after the telling… and the silence that follows is never quite empty.

  • Tonight, we ride into the haunted heart of the Vale of Neath.

    Into a land of black cliffs, hidden waterfalls and ancient forests where the mist curls through the trees like the breath of something old and watching.

    In this episode, we follow the shadowed trail of Gwyn ap Nudd, the wild and terrible king of Annwn, as he rides through the valleys above Pontneddfechan with the Cŵn Annwn at his heels. We stand beneath the towering rocks of Craig y Ddinas, where fairy music was once said to drift from hidden caves, and where the people of the valley believed the Tylwyth Teg still danced beneath the moon.

    This is a journey into the old Wales. Into the Wales of sleeping kings beneath the hills, phantom hunts in the darkness and ancient landscapes where the veil between worlds grows thin.

    So light the fire. Listen to the wind in the trees. And if, somewhere in the distance, you hear the cry of hunting horns… perhaps do not answer.

    The Wonder of the Wollaton Gnomes

    There are places in Britain where the world feels… softer. Thinner. As though reality itself loosens its grip just enough for something older — something stranger — to slip through.

    On a September evening in 1979, in the shadowed woods of Wollaton Park, a group of children stumbled into just such a moment.

    What they encountered has never been explained.

    Tiny figures. No taller than a child’s knee.

    Pointed hats. Long white beards.

    And impossibly… small, silent cars gliding through the twilight.

    They came in numbers. Dozens of them.

    Moving like a procession from another world.

    Watching. Playing. Chasing.

    For fifteen minutes, the ordinary world slipped away.

    And when it returned… nothing was ever quite the same again.

    In this episode, we step into the hush of evening, into the smell of wet earth and the deepening shadows, and we ask:

    What did those children really see? Was this imagination… or encounter and why do stories of ā€œlittle peopleā€ echo across centuries of British folklore?

    This is not just a story.

    It is a glimpse… into the time between times.

  • There are moments in this world… when something slips through.

    Something ancient. Something uninvited. Something that does not belong to the neat, ordered version of reality we have built for ourselves.

    And this week… I find myself standing at the edge of one of those moments.

    šŸŽ™ļø Time Between Times Storytelling Podcast

    This week’s episode walks into the shadowed forests of Northern California… and into one of the most haunting mysteries ever captured on film—

    the Patterson–Gimlin film.

    For nearly sixty years, that brief, flickering footage has held its ground. A figure walking between worlds. A presence that should not be… and yet is.

    But now…

    There are whispers.

    Claims.

    Voices saying that the film—the legend—is about to be debunked.

    And I’ll be honest with you…

    That thought carries a quiet sadness.

    Because if this story falls… then something else falls with it. Something harder to name. Something we rarely admit we still need.

    Wonder.

    So before the light becomes too harsh…

    before the mystery is picked clean…

    Come with me.

    One last time.

    Back to Bluff Creek.

    Back to the silence of the forest.

    Back to that moment… when something turned… and looked back.

    Because perhaps the truth is not the point.

    Perhaps the value lies in the question itself…

    And what it awakens in us when we dare to believe…

    even just for a moment…

    that the world is still wider… deeper… and far more mysterious than we can ever truly know.

  • Time Between Times – The Spectral Lady of Waterston Road

    There are roads we travel every day…

    and then there are roads that remember us.

    This week on Time Between Times, we journey deep into the quiet, coastal heart of Pembrokeshire… to Waterston Road — a place where the hedgerows whisper, the night air thickens… and something walks when it should not.

    Locals speak in hushed tones of the Waterston Lady — a lone, spectral figure drifting along the roadside beneath the moon. Those who have seen her describe a pale glow, a chilling silence… and the dreadful feeling that they were not alone, even after she vanished.

    But she is not the only presence bound to this lonely stretch of road.

    Because sometimes…

    when the mist rolls in from the Milford Haven Waterway…

    a phantom carriage is heard before it is seen.

    Hooves striking the tarmac.

    Wheels creaking through the dark.

    A journey that has never truly ended.

    Is Waterston Road haunted by a restless spirit… or is it something older?

    A place where the past bleeds into the present…

    and the veil grows thin.

    Step carefully…

    and join me.

    The Death of Dic Penderyn

    In this powerful and deeply moving episode of Time Between Times, Welsh storyteller Owen Staton journeys into the fiery heart of industrial Wales to tell the tragic and haunting story of Dic Penderyn.

    Travel back with Owen to the iron town of Merthyr Tydfil in 1831, where furnaces roared day and night and thousands of workers laboured in smoke and hardship beneath the shadow of powerful ironmasters like William Crawshay.

    When poverty, injustice and desperation finally erupted into rebellion during the Merthyr Rising, a quiet young labourer from the village of Penderyn would find himself caught in the brutal machinery of power and politics.

    Accused of stabbing a soldier during the uprising, Dic Penderyn was tried in Cardiff, condemned to death, and hanged outside the walls of Cardiff Gaol in 1831.

    But was he guilty?

    Or was he sacrificed as a warning to the working people of Wales?

    In this atmospheric twenty-minute story Owen brings the past to life with passion, history and heart. From the blazing furnaces of Merthyr to the lonely scaffold in Cardiff, and finally to Dic’s resting place at St Mary’s Church, this is a tale of rebellion, injustice and the echoes that still linger in the valleys of Wales.

    And as always in the world of Time Between Times, the story does not end with death… because some say the spirit of Dic Penderyn still walks beneath the mist of the mountains.

    So dim the lights, settle in, and join Owen Staton for a story of courage, tragedy and memory.

    Episode: The Black Nun of Llangrannog

    On this episode of Time Between Times, Owen takes you back to the windswept cliffs of west Wales… and to a childhood memory that still sends a shiver down the spine.

    As a boy in the 1980s, Owen travelled to the great Welsh youth camp at Urdd Gobaith Cymru Llangrannog Centre, a place of laughter, adventure, and independence for generations of young people through Urdd Gobaith Cymru.

    But when darkness fell, the dormitories told a different story.

    Whispers moved from bed to bed…

    Footsteps seemed to echo in the corridors…

    And somewhere in the shadows walked a figure dressed entirely in black.

    The Black Nun.

    In this deeply personal and atmospheric episode, Owen shares his own childhood terror of the mysterious figure said to haunt the camp. Where did the legend come from? Is it simply a story passed between generations of children… or does the land above Cardigan Bay remember something far older?

    Expect wind off the sea, creaking corridors, childhood fears, and a haunting figure who may still walk the halls long after lights out.

    So settle in, turn the lights down low… and join Owen as we return to Llangrannog, where the line between memory and myth grows wonderfully thin.

    Time Between Times is a podcast for lovers of folklore, ghosts, myth and the quiet magic of the landscape… told in the old storytelling tradition.

  • šŸ”„ Time Between Times Podcast šŸ”„

    Tonight… we walk north.

    Out beyond the edge of comfort. Beyond the lamplit villages and into the wind-torn silence of the Farne Islands. Where the tide gnaws at black rock. Where seabirds wheel against a bruised sky. Where a shepherd boy once saw angels and followed that vision into eternity.

    In this episode of Time Between Times, I tell the story of Cuthbert of Lindisfarne— monk, hermit, healer, bishop… and the quiet flame of the North.

    We journey from his childhood vision of angels carrying the soul of Aidan of Lindisfarne, through his years preaching across wild Northumbria, to the solitude of Inner Farne where he stood waist-deep in freezing water praying beneath the stars.

    You’ll hear of:

    🌊 The otters who warmed his feet

    šŸ¦… The eagle who brought him food

    ✨ The healings that followed him like a second shadow

    āš”ļø The Viking storms that forced monks to carry his body across a shattered land

    ⛪ And the great shrine that rose at Durham Cathedral, where pilgrims still walk in hushed reverence today

    This is not simply the story of a saint.

    It is the story of solitude and service.

    Of wilderness and unity.

    Of a man who chose stillness in a restless age — and whose legacy still whispers in the northern wind.

    So leave your worries at the door. Draw closer to the fire. Let the sea breathe in… and out…

    And step with me, into the thin places.
