Pluckley is in the Guinness Book of records as it is reputed to be the most haunted village in Britain. It is reputed to have twelve (possibly thirteen or fourteen) ghosts. So I actually found a ghost tour that is offered here and if it's ok with you I’d like to take you guys on a lil tour of Pluckley but from over a podcast (because of corona)! We’re really excited for this very haunted episode so we hope you enjoy it!

Stay safe out there.

In all, it was revealed that she had killed four husbands, two children, her sister, her mother, two grandsons, and a mother-in-law. Basically Nannie was just a really wild gal... so join us for this crazy story!

The Flannan Isles Lighthouse is a lighthouse near the highest point on Eilean Mòr, off the west coast of mainland Scotland... and while it is a beautiful little island, it is best known for the mysterious disappearance of its keepers in 1900. The first record that something was wrong on  Flannan Isles was when the steamer Archtor was on a trip from Philadelphia to Leith on December 15th, 1900 . The ship noted in the log that the light was "not operational in poor weather conditions." On December 26th, a relief team was sent to the lighthouse, and that's when they noticed some really weird things. Did the keepers just get caught in a freak storm or was there something more at play...

Joshua Maddux was born on March 9th, 1990, and he went missing in 2008 and seven years later, was found in the chimney of a cabin just two blocks from his home. The question is, how did he get there? When Joshua's body was found 7 years later, there were some very odd things about it... namely that Joshua was found in the fetal position but with his legs over his head. Eventually, on the 28th September 2015, after failing to find any rational cause, Al Born  made a ruling of “Accidental Death”. And he suggested that Josh had climbed down the chimney and become lodged in the brickwork. He concluded the most likely cause of death was Hypothermia, as the temperature around the time of his disappearance had dropped to -6 Celsius at it’s coldest. So this story definitely leaves you thinking... who did it? or was it really just an accident. I don't think we'll ever know...

Stay safe out there.

There actually aren’t that many stories about the Brown Lady. The most commonly known story is about the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall, who is one of the most famous ghosts in Great Britain. According to legend, she is the ghost of Lady Dorothy Walpole who lived from 1686 to 1726, and the controversy around her arises when you look at her death: was it murder or was it just due to the medicine available at the time? We also looked at the mystery of the Brown Lady of Chowan University, and how Halloween marks a very important night for this particular ghost... so sit back and get ready for a couple of spooky ghost stories!

Stay safe out there.

Welcome back to the first episode in our second year of podcasting - we made it to week 53! This week we're talking about a very interesting type of ghost... the Gray Lady is a ghost of a woman who died violently for the sake of love or through the actions of their family. And they usually haunt houses and castles in the hopes that they will reunite with their loved ones. Out of all of the types of ladies, these ghosts are considered tragic figures (linked to tragedy) and often portray loneliness or loss. They are called gray ladies because they often wear gray clothing, but also because they have what I can only describe as a gray aura. This means that a Gray Lady can be wearing clothes of a different color, but can still be considered a Gray Lady simply because she has the gray vibes that correspond to loss, loneliness, and the desire to be reunited with a loved one. So bundle up and grab some spooky snacks as you join us through this collection of ghost stories!

Stay safe out there.

First of all, we just wanted to say happy 1 year anniversary! We can't believe it has already been a whole year of telling stories on this podcast and we just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has listened and followed along with us! 🥳🥳

Today's episode is another in our series on ghosts... this week we're talking about the Red Lady. A Lady in Red or Red Lady is a type of female ghost that is very similar to the White Lady. According to legend though, she is more specifically defined as having a jilted lover, being a prostitute killed in a fit of passion, or woman of vanity. She is usually a victim of objectification. And in all cases, she is wearing a scarlet or blood red dress. There have been reports of the Red Lady across numerous college campuses in the US, Canada, UK, and Asia, and we hope you like this collection of short stories!

So, there are a bunch of different urban legends about female ghosts. And this series is gonna talk about the types of ghosts that have been spotted as well as a couple of legends from all over the globe! Welcome to the first episode of our Halloween Ghost Special! Today we're talking about the white lady - she is a type of female ghost usually seen in rural areas and often associated with some sort of local legend or tragedy. White lady legends are actually told all over the world, regardless of culture or religion. They tend to be associated with the theme of loss or betrayal and they are similar to a Banshee in that they are said to be an omen of death. In fact, she may even appear in photos taken just before or just after someone dies and is commonly thought to be the spirit of deceased ancestors... We really hope you like this short series and we just wanted to wish you all a happy Spooky Season!

Stay safe out there.
