Episode 56 – Blitz Spirits

It’s the morning after the night of 14th of November 1940, Coventry, England – a night seared and synonymous with terror. Walking through the rubble of Coventry Cathedral, stonemason Jack Forbes surveyed the landscape with utter disbelief. Fearing the shock was yet to catch up with him, he walked further forward – with ringing in his ears no doubt from the night before, it was there amid the smoke, the putrid air – bitter with shrapnel and burnt timber from fourteenth-century frames that used to so proudly hold Coventry city up – he saw something rather eerie and unexpected …

This is episode 56 of the Haunted UK Podcast and in this episode, we go back in time to the 1940s in the UK; during a time when the veil between life and death was at its most fragile, most thin, most hard worn – a time when you never knew when your ‘number was up’ … Join us as we delve into some supernatural tales from the time as we uncover true courage, inspiration and … ‘Blitz Spirits’.

Content warning: The last story does refer to the death of a young child – please take care.

Episode 55 – Beasts of the UK

Eddie Bell was told about a series of tunnels which ran under the coke works, and it was these tunnels which Eddie felt could have been the ideal place for something like a large predatory animal to hide out in. Taking matters into his own hands, he ventured down into a number of tunnels but found nothing ... until, that is, he stumbled upon one tunnel …

This is episode 55 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and in this episode, we'll hear stories about strange and frightening creatures – which are said to be roaming the countryside in the UK.

Happy Halloween!

Presenting something which sits within the realms of the paranormal or supernatural is naturally going to be hard to present to the scientific community with any type of conviction. Hauntings and their activity are very hit and miss. Sometimes, amazingly reliable and solid witnesses will see something that challenges their beliefs ... whereas other times, a scientific investigation will yield absolutely nothing. So, how do we balance this scale? Can we make a judgement? Join us on this episode, as we aim to draw a verdict on this ever-intriguing case.

This is episode 54 of the Haunted UK Podcast – and in this episode of Season 6, we conclude our deep dive into one of the most famous poltergeist cases of all time.

Short Haunt – Trust Your Instincts

Premonitions can be a very frightening subject of the paranormal. We've all read about accounts of everyday people who have seemingly been able to tap into some sort of hidden dimension ... a dimension which seems to be able to feed them images, emotions and other unbelievable details of events which are about to unfold. But these stories just happen to other people ... don't they?

Episode 52 – Enfield Poltergeist (Part Two)

‘I was standing there looking at the house when all of a sudden, a couple of books came flying across and hit the window. It was so sudden. I heard the noise because it was so quiet, there was no traffic, and it made me jump. Then after a little while, I saw … Janet. I don’t know if there’s a bed underneath that window, but she was going up and down  … in a horizontal position, like as if someone had got hold of her legs and back and was throwing her up and down’. Hazel Short ... witness to one of Janet Hodgson’s alleged levitation events. 

This is part two of episode 52 of the Haunted UK Podcast – and in this episode of Season 6, we continue our deep dive into one of the most famous poltergeist cases of all time.

Episode 52 – Enfield Poltergeist Part One

‘On Thursday 1st September 1977 at approximately 1 a.m., I was on duty in my capacity as a policewoman, when I received a radio message to 284 Green Street, Enfield. I went to this address where I found a number of people standing in the living room. I was told by the occupier of this house that strange things had been happening during the last few nights and that they believed that the house was haunted.’ (WPC Carolyn Heeps)

Short Haunts – Does Darkness Follow?

Is it possible for a person to actually manifest paranormal activity into our dimension, giving spirits or entities the energy they require to break through that thin veil into the world that we share?

This Short Haunt shines a light on listener Gary’s experiences – who no matter where he visits and lives, he always seems to encounter an entity. Do people like Gary possess an aura, a strange beacon, invisible to us, but shining as bright as a lighthouse beam to those in the paranormal realm ... and they see it, they flock to it, hoping that the person holding that beacon, can maybe free them ... so they're able to move on to the next world?  This Short Haunt asks … Does Darkness Follow?

Our last 'From The Vault' episode before Season 6 launches on Friday 6th September.

‘Making sure their parents were asleep, the two 17-year-olds quietly left their homes with their tent, sleeping bags and other bits and pieces, and drove to a secluded spot. At around midnight, they'd found the perfect place to camp, so began pitching their tent and getting comfortable. It wasn't long after this that they both thought they heard something moving around in close proximity to their tent … They kept still and quiet, and continued to listen, but this was when the sounds of movement changed into the sounds of very definite footsteps ... there was someone in the forest with them.’
