Eerie Encounters

It has taken us a little while to edit but we got there! We are so sorry this is late we have had to deal with some illness (Alfie the one eyed wonder dog has been unwell) and family dramas. This week we delve into another prison with a number of executions and some interesting ghost stories.

Sorry this is a little late we had some technical issues.

We may have found something that creeps Nic out - Aliens and UFOs! This one is a long episode but Sarah does a deep dive into the strange and unexplained sightings that have been spotted in the air, and it is not just from drunk Dave on the Basingstoke Canal! Listen if you dare but Sarah may be a little traumatised after researching, recording and editing this episode.

We are going back underground but this time with trains! Delve into the subterranean goings on. Millions of people have passed through the stations associated with network and the environment itself is spooky.

The ghost stories are about 1hr into the episode.

Come underground with us to the London Tombs. A plague pit was discovered on the site after some building work for Cross rail now known as HS2. This tourist attraction is not for the faint of heart with paranormal activity, shadowy figures and poltergeist activity this surely has to be on the list of places to visit.
