The Lady Lovibond: Love, Jealousy & a 50‑Year Haunting

This spectral vessel is said to host endless celebrations, crewed by the transformed dead and captained by sea‑spirits who don’t believe in closing time.

Suffolk’s Storm‑Caller Fisherman
Closer to home, they explore eerie folklore from the Suffolk coast, including the chilling tale of Lowestoft’s ghostly fisherman.
