About this listen

 Listener Nick, tells Nat about a strange and ghostly experience he had at Coopers Hill in Ampthill, Bedfordshrie back in the early 1980s. Did Nick witness a ghost, a time slip or is there a more rational but equally intriguing explanation for his sighting? With the help of Bryan Bland from Ampthill Ghost Walks, Nat uncovers the strange history of Coopers Hill, or the Firs as locals call it. That history includes, Victorian poachers, Canadian lumberjacks in World War One, and a secret cold war bunker. Musicain Olie Campbell inspired by the stories of Coopers HIll has composed two short songs for this episode as well. Listen until the end to catch a sneak preview of the next episode as well.
