The Wild Hunt has stalked the folklore of Britain and the wider world for centuries, while a ghostly gallery of lone huntsmen continue to haunt the fields and hedgerows.

 

From prehistory to the modern age, Hugh Williams follows the ride of the Wild Hunt to the Midlands of England where amid its history, traditions and landscape a host of spectral hunters emerge.

 

Perhaps the most infamous spectral hunter of them all is investigated in depth and, using an evidence-based approach, a new origin for this legendary phantom is theorised.
