The ghost of a dearly departed summoned from the grave gives doleful warnings.
A fair maid receives nocturnal visitations from a shape-shifting sea creature.
Plus a serial killer, murder most foul, infanticide, love, lust, betrayal and the mother-in-law from hell!
Not to mention the curious case of the Little Pig.

lyrics
DOWN IN A WILLOW GARDEN traditional
Down in a willow garden
Where me and my love did meet
Twas there we sat a’courtin
My love dropped off to sleep
I had a bottle of burgundy wine
Which my true love did not know
And there I poisoned that dear little girl
Down under the banks below
I stabbed her with my dagger
It was a bloody knife
I threw her into the river
It was a dreadful sight
My father often told me
That money would set me free
If I would murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Ruth Connelly
And now he sits by his own cottage door
A’wipin’ his weepin’ eyes
And now he waits for his own dear son
Upon the scaffold high
My race is run beneath the sun
Cruel hell’s now waiting for me
For I have murdered that dear little girl
Whose name was Ruth Connelly
Down in a willow garden
Where me and my love did meet
Twas there we sat a’courtin
My love dropped off to sleep
I had a bottle of burgundy wine
Which my true love did not know
And there I poisoned that dear little girl
Down under the banks below
I stabbed her with my dagger
It was a bloody knife
I threw her into the river
It was a dreadful sight
My father often told me
That money would set me free
If I would murder that dear little girl
Whose name was Ruth Connelly
And now he sits by his own cottage door
A’wipin’ his weepin’ eyes
And now he waits for his own dear son
Upon the scaffold high
My race is run beneath the sun
Cruel hell’s now waiting for me
For I have murdered that dear little girl
Whose name was Ruth Connelly
