Charles Christian is an English barrister and Reuters correspondent turned writer, podcaster, award-winning tech journalist, and sometime werewolf hunter. He now writes, talks and makes videos mainly about folklore, urban myths, history, and the weird. And yes, an English Fleet Street newspaper once did commission him to go on a werewolf hunt on the night of a full Moon. Spoiler alert: he didn't find one. Or the werewolf didn't find him! He was born a ‘chime child’ with a caul so, according to legend, cannot drown at sea but can see and talk to ghosts and fairy folk without fear of coming to harm – allegedly!


Skeptic or Believer? Does Charles Christian personally believe in ghosts, the weird and the paranormal? His answer is the same as the celebrated ghost and supernatural horror writer M. R. James gave in the preface to a collection of his short stories about 100 years ago: “I am prepared to consider the evidence and accept it if it satisfies me.”


He is the author of "A travel guide to Yorkshire’s Weird Wolds: The Mysterious Wold Newton Triangle” and “Saints & Sinners in Dark Age England”. His latest book is “Shuckland: Weird tales, ghosts, folklore and legends from East Anglia’s Waveney valley” – volume one of a new haunted landscapes series – and he is currently writing an almanac of real witches and sorcerers, along with other practitioners of magic – black and white, from earliest times through until the modern era.
