About this episode

The episode explores the history of Blackbeard and the haunted tales surrounding the Llandoger Trow pub in Bristol.

Before Blackbeard became the terror of the Atlantic, he may have been just another Bristol sailor, walking the old harbour streets and drinking in dockside taverns. The Llandoger Trow has stood since the seventeenth century, gathering stories of pirates, sailors, writers and ghosts.
