On the night of the 26th August 2023 I made the short 20 minute drive to the village of Springwell in Sunderland to investigate Bowes Railway Museum.
But what happened when my team and I joined an organised investigation to conduct a ghost hunt in this former railway once darkness fell? In this episode not only will I tell you all about the location and our investigation, but you’ll hear actual audio from the night itself.
Tonight, let us ask, just how haunted is Bowes Railway Museum?

May Patreon Teaser - Grays Court

This time out you join me in the city of Derby which is apparently the best place in the world to drink real ale, it’s the home of Rolls Royce, as well, of course, this episode’s location. Dating back to 1756 this place witnessed the very worst of humanity, and as a result it believed to be home to all manner of things that go bump in the night.
Lets’ ask together, as I’m joined by the Richard Felix, who owns this historic landmark, and we ask just how haunted is Derby Gaol?

Ep 78 - Derby Gaol Part 1

This time you join me in the remote Northumberland countryside, and I literally mean join me, as I recorded this episode on location at the site of the bloodiest battle in the history of England. This loss of life, a little over 500 years ago, appears to have left its mark on this land, as the sights and sounds of battle, and of death, are experienced here all too often.
Let's ask together just how haunted is Flodden Field?

Ep 77 - Flodden Field

In the 20th Patreon bonus podcast you join me on location at a 14th century pele tower in Northumberland, constructed during uncertain times when England was at war with Scotland, and being so close to the border required this tower to be fortified.
But what would happen when, all alone, I stepped foot inside this tower? Would I hear the footsteps and voices heard here all too often, or perhaps I would be unfortunate enough to encounter the Preston Hound? Also you'll hear all about what happened to a listener when they visited during the summer of 2023.
So tonight, join me as together we ask, just how haunted is Preston Tower?

April Patreon Teaser - Preston Tower

Originally released for Patreons in June 2023 I hope you enjoy this very special episode.
A grand estate built around a house built in 1693, and destroyed by fire in 1977 is said to be the haunt of shadowy figures belonging to those who knew the building so well in life. The stable block, added in 1811, is one of the more active areas. Why this is the case we’ll likely never know.
Phantom lights float around the house, and whispering is heard deep in the woodland. Dogs howl and bark within the grounds in the dead of night, and can be heard for miles around.
Would I encounter any of these phantoms when my team and I investigated this estate back in the spring of 2012?
Let's find out together.
Tonight, join me for a very special episode, as we return to Edinburgh and ask just how haunted is the Cammo Estate?
