Dare to wander the misty roads of Yorkshire, and you might encounter more than just your own footsteps. In this episode, we unravel the chilling legend of Jack-In-Irons—a towering, chain-shrouded giant whose club bristles with the heads of the unlucky. Part phantom, part cautionary tale, Jack haunts the night with spectral wails and a hunger for lost souls, yet rumors hint at an unexpected streak of mercy beneath his iron shell. Is he a cursed blacksmith, a restless warrior, or something stranger still? Join us as we follow the echoes of his chains through the tangled lanes of English folklore and ask: what drives the specter who walks in irons?
