The Mudding Of The Somerset Gimp
Season 8
Episode 27
Published 2 years, 8 months ago
Description
Many areas around the UK have their own tales of a costumed resident - some are just harmless eccentrics, whilst others do it to send some goodwill out or to raise money for good causes.
And then some, as the odd title of the episode will come to explain, and how the North Somerset area came to know from 2018 onwards, have a stranger reason - for the simple reason of instilling fear.
The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
