The Haunted UK Podcast has teamed up with Northumbria University who are interested in sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is when people wake up and are unable to move and often see vivid experiences. We would particularly like to hear from people who are over eighteen years old and have paranormal experiences during sleep paralysis.

We are proud to be a part of this fantastic study, and we'd love for all of you listeners to get involved if you've had any experience with sleep paralysis ... no matter how small.

‘Mum and Dad met at the Bakehouse on Baldwin Street in Bargoed in 1965 soon after she left school.  They dated for three years and married at the Cardiff Register Office in April 1969.  After they were married, Mum and dad didn't get a place of their own, they continued to live at Gladstone Villa with my grandparents.  Mum told me that nothing paranormal occurred until after I was born in 1969, and that the activity … started in the attic …’

This is episode 60 – part 4 – of the Haunted UK Podcast, and it’s time for us to delve once more … into your listeners’ stories.

We have yet another fantastic collection of stories here, which I have no doubt you’ll all enjoy … so with that said … let’s get started and cross the threshold of an old Welsh house as we face The Haunting of Gladstone Villa and Other Listeners’ Stories …

‘One night, in the early hours of the morning, I was suddenly awoken – and believe me I was wide awake – with the realisation that ‘something’ was standing in the doorway of my bedroom. I don't know how I knew this … but I did. If I could describe it better: it was human but much more animal-like … A kind of low-level creature.  And obviously, the feeling I got from this thing was not friendly or pleasant …

This is episode 60 – Part 3 – of the Haunted UK Podcast, and we’re back again – full to the very rafters with your incredible stories … so join us – but proceed with caution – and maybe find somewhere to hide now … because we are about to come face to face with The Thing and Other Listeners’ Stories …

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 – The Room with the Nursery Rhyme Wallpaper’.

Sometimes we get a Short Haunt which just can’t wait, it needs to be heard … this was undoubtedly one of them. When Jackie moved into a 1940s’ home – with a wallpaper to match in the nursery, things felt awry from the start and as she began to look around and delve deeper… she started to wonder if there was a mystery in The Room with the Nursery Rhyme Wallpaper.

‘As I was coming down the road, I saw what I thought were the lights of an oncoming car, so I stopped to let it pass. After a few moments I flashed my lights but got no response so, thinking the car may have broken down in the snow or got stuck; I walked into the woods towards the lights to help. As I neared, I saw there had been an accident and ran to the car which had struck a telegraph pole, knocking it into the woods. I pulled the car door open …’

This is episode 60 – Part 2 – of the Haunted UK Podcast, and we’re back with another jam-packed episode of listeners’ stories – hold tight because this is The Crash and Other Listeners’ Stories.

As usual, the response from all of you fantastic listeners has been phenomenal. So many stories, so many experiences, so many elements of the paranormal ... and all brilliant. A huge thank you to each and every single one of you who have taken the time out to type your stories up and send them in to the show. And let’s remember it’s never easy to share a story about the supernatural – it takes courage and some vulnerability. Some of these experiences have unsettled some of our listeners in this episode – troubled them even; so, to come forward and entrust us with their stories – well, it’s massively appreciated. So, with that said, it’s time to dim the lights, time to get comfortable, and time to listen … to your stories.

My grandfather, being the gentleman he is, graciously offered to give them a lift. He drove the women home and, in true Irish fashion, they invited him in for a cup of tea to say thanks. My grandfather accepted their offer and went into the house for a cup of tea. Upon entering the house, my granda instantly felt a heaviness in the air, a feeling he had never felt before …
