On this Halloween, we'll uncover the true, but almost forgotten, story of corpse stones and corpse roads —ancient paths which reveal the chilling beliefs of medieval England about death, spirits, and the afterlife.
These eerie trails, once used to carry the dead to churchyards, were feared on All Hallows' Eve, as it was believed evil spirits roamed, seeking souls. Learn how Halloween’s dark origins connect with these mysterious stones, where pallbearers would rest, and discover why burial in consecrated ground was vital to prevent souls from becoming restless ghosts.
Join us on this spooky journey through Halloween folklore and ancient rituals for a look at how our ancestors viewed life, death, and the supernatural.
