In the heart of London, somewhere inside the bell tower of a church rests the mummified remains of a mystery man: Jimmy Garlick. No one knows who he was, but we know how he ended up there.  This month, I'm telling you the story of Jimmy Garlick, the Mummy in the City. Each episode, Claudia tells you the story of a legend, a mystery or a myth born on this good ol' England. Her favourite topics? Folklore, fairytales, unexplained mysteries, occult secrets and other ghost stories. Instagram: @theblackbirdtales Music: Ula Taylor-Reilly Contact: bigsmokeblackbird@gmail.com
