15. The Black Monk of Pontefract

Join us for a jaunt over to merry olde England, to the quaint little town of Pentrefact-. Pontryfact. Pontefricht. Ponte—god, we’re never going to get it right. But there’s a ghost there, and a lot of people call him the most violent ghost that’s ever been documented, which seems like a lie, because it’s not like anyone died. OR DID THEY? Listen to find out! (They didn’t.)

This is the Black Monk of Pontefract. Come for the ghost, stay for really great British accents, Patrick’s desire to squeeze Snack Packs directly into his mouth, the undeniable legacy of Drop Dead Fred, and the most Mary Poppinsish show we’ve ever done.
