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
THE OLD WOMAN AND THE PIG traditional
There was an old woman and she had a little pig
Mmmm
There was an old woman and she had a little pig
Mmmm
There was an old woman and she had a little pig
Didn’t cost much cause it wasn’t very big
Mmmm
Now this old woman kept the pig in the barn
Mmmm
This old woman kept the pig in the barn
Mmmm
This old woman kept the pig in the barn
Prettiest little thing she had on the farm
Mmmm
The little old woman fed the pig on clover
Mmmm
The little old woman fed the pig on clover
Mmmm
The little old woman fed the pig on clover
Till it laid down and died all over
Mmmm
The little piggy died cause it couldn’t get it’s breath
Mmmm
The little piggy died cause it couldn’t get it’s breath
Mmmm
The little piggy died cause it couldn’t get it’s breath
Wasn’t that an awful death?
Mmmm
The little old woman she died of grief
Mmmm
The little old woman she died of grief
Mmmm
The little old woman she died of grief
Wasn’t that a sad relief?
Mmmm
The little old man he sobbed and sighed
Mmmm
The little old man he sobbed and sighed
Mmmm
The little old man he sobbed and sighed
Then he too lay down and died
Mmmm
Well that was the end of the one, two, three
Mmmm
Well that was the end of the one, two, three
Mmmm
Well that was the end of the one, two, three
The man and the woman and the little piggy
Mmmm
The good old book lies on the shelf
Mmmm
The good old book lies on the shelf
Mmmm
The good old book lies on the shelf
If you want anymore you can sing it yourself
Mmmm
There was an old woman and she had a little pig
Mmmm
There was an old woman and she had a little pig
Mmmm
There was an old woman and she had a little pig
Didn’t cost much cause it wasn’t very big
Mmmm
Now this old woman kept the pig in the barn
Mmmm
This old woman kept the pig in the barn
Mmmm
This old woman kept the pig in the barn
Prettiest little thing she had on the farm
Mmmm
The little old woman fed the pig on clover
Mmmm
The little old woman fed the pig on clover
Mmmm
The little old woman fed the pig on clover
Till it laid down and died all over
Mmmm
The little piggy died cause it couldn’t get it’s breath
Mmmm
The little piggy died cause it couldn’t get it’s breath
Mmmm
The little piggy died cause it couldn’t get it’s breath
Wasn’t that an awful death?
Mmmm
The little old woman she died of grief
Mmmm
The little old woman she died of grief
Mmmm
The little old woman she died of grief
Wasn’t that a sad relief?
Mmmm
The little old man he sobbed and sighed
Mmmm
The little old man he sobbed and sighed
Mmmm
The little old man he sobbed and sighed
Then he too lay down and died
Mmmm
Well that was the end of the one, two, three
Mmmm
Well that was the end of the one, two, three
Mmmm
Well that was the end of the one, two, three
The man and the woman and the little piggy
Mmmm
The good old book lies on the shelf
Mmmm
The good old book lies on the shelf
Mmmm
The good old book lies on the shelf
If you want anymore you can sing it yourself
Mmmm
