That's a wrap for this week! See you on Monday, when we'll look at an unusual ghost story. In the meantime, the Bee Gees go rockabilly!
The thing that struck me most about St Anne's Limehouse was the height of the risers on the winding staircase; climbing it must have been tough but descending downright dangerous! The article on vampires and garlic makes sense. I would vote for porphyria rather than rabies, though, since rabies kills people off relatively swiftly. And a very interesting discovery in Norway; the Old World has all the good fortune in long-buried gold and silver artifacts.
