Who Am I And Why?

Hello! I’m Jenny, the host of podcast Folkitory, and I am one of those strange things lurking.

I don’t know where my fascination with history, folklore and the paranormal started, but my childhood seemed to the contain an awful lot of books on ghosts, mythology and historic tales…

So, I suppose it makes sense that I did a degree in archaeology. Although back then I couldn’t find enthusiasm for small pieces of pottery hidden in the ground.

Now, in mid-life and rediscovering my love of history and folklore, I am now in love with finding sea pottery on the beach. If only they’d covered beach combing at university.

As well as spooky history and storytelling, you can check out my novels over at writeintothewoods.com

It's me! Jenny Lewis, in the woods, with my green beanie on, looking over my shoulder where there's an Iron Age fort hidden among the trees.
