Ghoul Gang

This Halloween, the Ghoul Gang are heading into the woods to investigate somewhere with a seriously strange history...

Hidden away in North Wales is Talacre Abbey, an abandoned former home of Benedictine nuns, and a wonderfully bizarre 19th-century grotto built by the wealthy Mostyn family. Think creepy stone carvings, skeletons, a cyclops and even a stone lion designed to breathe fire.

But there's more to this place than its unusual history. Local legends tell of ghostly nuns, phantom voices and mysterious figures wandering the grounds and surrounding woodland.Armed with our ghost-hunting equipment, we set out to investigate. And things got interesting...

Our voice recorder picked up some very strange sounds, our EMF reader started going wild in the overgrown cemetery, and we found ourselves repeatedly drawn back to one particular grave: that of Sister Anna Hickey.

Then, just when we thought things couldn't get any stranger, our phone signal disappeared in the woods...

Were we picking up something paranormal, or is there a perfectly reasonable explanation for everything we experienced?We're approaching this investigation with an open mind and a healthy dose of scepticism, but some of the things we captured have certainly left us with questions.

Join Laura and Mel for a special Halloween edition of Ghoul Gang Investigates as we explore Talacre Grotto, uncover the history of the nuns and investigate the strange things lurking in the woods.

What do YOU think we captured on our voice recorder? And are the nuns pro or anti-ghost hunters? Let us know in the comments.

If you love creepy history, spooky adventures and mysteries that blur the line between myth and reality, you're one of us.

👻 Join the Ghoul Gang and uncover the strange, spooky and unexplained.

Some sounds are easy to explain.But what happens when you hear someone calling your name… and nobody's there?In this episode of Ghoul Gang Unheard, we're diving into four real stories of unexplained sounds, from voices coming from empty rooms and footsteps heard deep beneath Edinburgh, to chairs being dragged across an empty kitchen and someone who saw a PERFECT double of a person who was somewhere else entirely.We've organised the stories into an iceberg, starting with the incidents that might have a perfectly reasonable explanation… before descending into the ones that become much, much harder to explain.👻 Did you hear that?The stories in this episode were sent in by members of the Ghoul Gang. If you've got a strange, spooky or unexplained experience of your own, we want to hear it.If you love creepy history, spooky adventures and mysteries that blur the line between myth and reality, you're one of us.👻 Join the Ghoul Gang and uncover the strange, spooky and unexplained.TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ourghoulgangInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ourghoulgang

Welcome to Ghoul Gang Unheard.

This time, we're hearing four terrifying stories sent in by real people - and each one gets progressively worse.

From a hotel room where every drawer mysteriously opened while the door was locked, to a strange black figure repeatedly appearing in a care home, these are the kinds of encounters that are difficult to explain away.

Then there's a shadow that seems to follow one man wherever he goes… and finally, a terrifying encounter on an isolated road involving strange lights, flickering trees and a figure bigger than the car.

The stories are original, they're completely unexplainable, and as far as we're concerned, they're 100% true.

So, are you ready to hear what happened?

Join the Ghoul Gang… if you dare.

Welcome to the very first episode of Ghoul Gang: Investigates.

This time, we're travelling to Boggart Hole Clough in Manchester to investigate one of Britain's strangest supernatural legends: the Boggart.

Described as "Britain's most understudied supernatural creature", the Boggart has been blamed for everything from poltergeist activity and strange noises to terrifying encounters in the woods. For centuries, parents warned their children that if they wandered too far into the Clough, the Boggart would steal them away.

But where did these stories come from?

We visit the locations at the heart of the legend, speak to local author Philip Simpson, dig through 19th century newspaper archives, explore local folklore, and try to separate historical fact from supernatural fiction.

Did we find evidence of a child-snatching monster? Or is there another explanation behind one of northern England's creepiest legends?

Join the Ghoul Gang and investigate with us.
