Tales From the Dark
Although Halloween has passed, the dark nights are here and although the sunlight is low and blinding, the shadows are long!
Tales From the Dark is a collection of three tales that were amongst those told in the run up to Halloween for the Nottingham Pagan Network on Wednesday 22nd October 2025. For although the spooky season has given way to the build up to Christmas, the dark nights are still prime time for ghostly and ghastly tales to be told…. Tales From the Dark!
