'Following the disappearances of several animals, a couple take the investigation of a local legend into their own hands.'

From the team behind the chart-topping horror storytelling podcast The Other Stories comes an ambitious new audio anthology starring the voice of British horror icon Emily Booth, alongside a cast of Hawk & Cleaver regulars.

To celebrate Halloween, The Midnight Macabre Podcast - hosted by Laura Lambton (Emily Booth) - presents a week of daily live broadcasts from Old Mill Lane in Bramshire, a location with a reputation for being one of the most haunted places in Britain.

Each night, Laura introduces a story reconstructed from the gruesome past of the mill, in an effort to unpick the mysteries of its dark history, culminating in a grand finale as Halloween arrives.
