Episode Details

Welcome to Season 4 of Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast for children (and grown ups) of all ages.

It’s our Halloween Special!!!!!! Wooooooo! And we have some treats in store for you – or are they tricks?

As with our previous Halloween shows, Leo is going to tell a story that’s not too scary. And I’ll tell one that is a bit more scary

We also thought we would tickle your funny bone with some spooky Halloween jokes from our listeners! Huge thanks to Marcus Zoe, George, Sharon, Mila, Tom, Will and Jakey!!

Leo's story is a ghost story from England. You can find this story and lots more like it in this excellent book by Margaret Read MacDonald 'When the Lights Go Out!'

Emily's story is from Norway. And many people believe the story is true. There is a lake in Norway called Whale lake 

Because in this lake have been discovered the huge bones of what was once a mighty whale that terrorized the fjords and seas around Norway and greenland 

Hundreds of years ago, sailors would hunt wales for their blubber. They would melt the blubber down into oil that was then used for street lights, cosmetics and explosives. Whale hunting was incredibly dangerous and there are lots of songs about about it – as sailors would spend very long times at sea, making up stories, singing songs and crafting. You can find out more about it HERE.
