The Outer Realm has been so honoured and privileged over the years, to have interviewed so many AMAZING guests. People from all over the world, who have been versed in many topics/platforms. Charles Christian was without a doubt one of those people, who was a joy to interview. He was full of knowledge, and had a multitude of amazing stories to tell. In fact, at one time he had a show right here on the United Public Radio Network Charles passed away at the end of September-beginning of October 2022 This show is being re-aired in honour of Charles, who was kind enough to do two episodes with us before he passed. with a third booked, to which he never made. This was the FIRST show he did with us! "If you are fascinated by the weird, the unexplained and the bizarre, join author Charles Christian on a fascinating road trip around what he calls the Wold Newton Triangle, where rather odd events have occurred, unmatched anywhere else in Britain. He will talk about werewolves, zombies, vampires, green skinned fairy folk, headless ghosts, screaming skulls, ancient warlords, a Parkin-eating dragon, and so so much more" Who Was Charles: Charles Christian was an English barrister and Reuters correspondent turned writer, podcaster, award-winning tech journalist, and sometime werewolf hunter. He now writes, talks and makes videos mainly about folklore, urban myths, history, and the weird. And yes, an English Fleet Street newspaper once did commission him to go on a werewolf hunt on the night of a full Moon. Spoiler alert: he didn't find one. Or the werewolf didn't find him! He was born a \u2018chime child\u2019 with a caul so, according to legend, cannot drown at sea but can see and talk to ghosts and fairy folk without fear of coming to harm \u2013 allegedly! Skeptic or Believer? Does Charles Christian personally believed in ghosts, the weird and the paranormal? His answer was the same as the celebrated ghost and supernatural horror writer M. R. James gave in the preface to a collection of his short stories about 100 years ago: \u201cI am prepared to consider the evidence and accept it if it satisfies me.\u201d He was the author of "A Travel Guide to Yorkshire\u2019s Weird Wolds: The Mysterious Wold Newton Triangle\u201d and \u201cSaints & Sinners in Dark Age England\u201d.
