In our latest Halloween special, we're inspired by the new film Wicker, a dark folk tale that explores love, loneliness, social exclusion and what happens when a community fears something it doesn't understand.
And while the film may be fantasy, the themes running through it are very real. Because for centuries people across Britain genuinely believed that strange beings could be created, enchanted, bewitched, transformed or worshipped.
So join us on a spooky tale that twists and turns through stories of The Wicker Man, Midsommer, and the all too true tale of The Last Sacrifice when fantasy became a gruesome reality.
