Happy Spooky Christmas!

Our bedroom was small and narrow, and the door was about six feet from the end of our queen-sized bed. The noise was thunderous, three knocks, rapid and loud. Bang, bang, bang! 

‘Did you hear that?’ I said, ‘Yep,’ Brian responded – his voice weird and bored. I had a moment of surprise and sat straight up in bed. Then it happened again. Bang, bang, bang! This time, I got up immediately and walked quickly to the door, figuring that one of the three kids, probably my seven-year-old daughter, was scared and needed me. I opened it and started to speak, then stopped when I saw no one was there. I stared into a large, well-lit open area that was completely empty. I could see the stairs ... also empty. My lizard brain hissed softly. ‘Run’ it said.

This is episode 57 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and in this episode, we venture across the Atlantic to hear about a truly disturbing haunting … a Haunting in Oregon.

On the 15th of September 2024, I attended a ghost hunt at the location of this shows very first episode way back in June 2021. That location was of course, Dudley Castle. Since an early age, I’d had a healthy interest in castles, and knowing that one with such great historical significance was just a short drive away from not only where I grew up, but also where I live now, always seemed surreal.

But throughout my early years, I never really thought of Dudley Castle as a place where ghosts or the spirits of the dead, would haunt…but how wrong I was. Every now and then, an article would appear in a local newspaper, or a story would be heard on radio, retold by either the presenter or news reader, or if you were lucky, by the witness themselves.

Was I about to finally witness...something paranormal???

Welcome dear listeners, to our series of ‘Short Haunts’ – a shot of scary ... just for you. So, grab a hot chocolate, maybe a tea, maybe something stronger … because this is Haunted UK Podcast’s 'Short Haunts – Doors, Locks, and Demons.’

What do you do when you find yourself living in a haunted house? Who do you turn to? … What measures do you take, to try and get control of a situation – which many would find completely ridiculous? Find out what measures KG took where she felt the oppressive demonic force in not just one house, but two.

In memory of Mandy.

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 …

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?
