The Beast of Brassknocker Hill

About this episode

The episode explores the eerie events surrounding the sightings of a shadowy creature in Brassknocker Hill, England, during the summer of 1979.

👣 In the summer of 1979, a wave of fear swept through the hills outside Bath, England. Strange cries in the night, frightened animals, damaged trees, and sightings of a shadowy creature turned Brassknocker Hill into one of Britain’s most eerie lesser-known cryptid cases. Matt Wilson, Juniper Ravenwood, and Chris Beach dig into the witness fear, the folklore, and the question of whether something real was moving through the Somerset dark. 🔗 More episodes & merch: shadowfrequencypodcast.com 🕒 Runtime: 23m 14s | 📅 Air Date: APRIL 22 2026
