Here at the Haunted UK Podcast we have sifted through hundreds of incredible cases of ghost sightings, strange encounters with mysterious creatures, sightings of dark shadow entities, alleged psychic ability, ancient and modern-day curses, eerie premonitions, haunted houses, poltergeist encounters, time slip stories ... the list goes on ... but there's still one topic of the paranormal which we find absolutely fascinating. One topic, which we've never covered. An avenue of the paranormal which is so strange, and so incredibly rare, that when it happens ... attention is drawn to It ... but that attention rarely seems to make the news. Is it because that the majority of people would find these particular stories too unbelievable ... too far outside the boundaries of what is deemed credible?

This is episode 42 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and in this episode, we go in search of paranormal firestarters.

Over the last few decades, technology has brought almost every corner of our planet to our fingertips. We can ask Alexa what the weather is like in Rome, we can see what the surf is like in Cornwall by logging onto a webcam, and we can even video conference call with loved ones and friends from all over the world on our phones, tablets, Macs and PCs. But whilst all of this technology and connectivity is amazing, the one call or message many millions of us would love to receive will unfortunately never come ... a message or call from a loved one or friend who has passed away. Just to have one last moment ... one final time to hear their voice, or read their words … but this is sadly impossible ... or is it?

This is episode 41 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and in this much called for episode, we'll investigate cases where the dead have seemingly been in touch with the living.

Announcement Regarding Last Episode

This is Steve at the Haunted UK Podcast with a quick message to all of you amazing listeners. If you've already listened to our final Listener Stories Episode - Episode 40 - Flight in Time and Other Listener Stories Part 5 - you may have noticed some strange longer than usual pauses in the narration. Also, many of the sound effects don't seem to be playing in the exact locations.

After listening to this myself and looking into the problem, I noticed an issue on the timing track. I've corrected this, and the episode now plays perfectly. So, if you've already listened, then give it another listen, and it should sound much better. This will be noticeable on Spotify in around 24 to 48 hours, but I'm not sure how long the changes will take to filter down to the other podcast platforms.

So, my apologies for any inconvenience to your listening pleasure, and I assure you all that the problem has now been fixed. Thank you all so much for your continued support...have a great Halloween...and we'll be back very soon.

Episode 40 - Flight in Time and Other Listener Stories Part 5

Woodhall Spa Airfield, early 1940s. ‘They got to the NAAFI and went inside. It was bright, warm and a welcome place to shelter from the cold and wet conditions outside. They each had a cup of tea and a bowl of stew and sat at a table by the window while they ate their food and warmed themselves up. Nothing felt weird and nothing was noticeably amiss. Yet out of the window, they noticed two airmen walking on the airfield, presumably returning from a flight … but was it a flight from the unknown?’

This is Flight in Time, Episode 44 – the fifth and final part of the Haunted UK Podcast’s listeners’ stories … and for the last time (this season) we are going to be amazed, in awe and – let’s face it – frightened to the core by your experiences.

Do you love ghost stories, tales of haunted houses and poltergeist encounters? What about other areas of the paranormal – such as strange creatures, doppelgängers, time slips and even creepy unexplained disappearances? If you do, then you're in the right place — these are the topics which we'll be visiting every two weeks in the many future episodes and seasons of this show. Also … to ensure you get the best immersive listening experience possible, there will be no advertisements in the main content of this episode.

The show's end of season finale revolves around the experiences and stories from listeners just like you … so, if you have had an encounter with any element of the paranormal — and you would like to share your story, then I would love to tell it for you on the Listeners’ Stories finale episodes.

Simply type up your story with the subject title ‘Listener Story’ and email it to [email protected] ...

Episode 40 – The Protector and Other Listeners’ Stories (Part 4)

‘My lungs collapsed, and I required an emergency tracheostomy and multiple surgeries. A number of times my heart stopped for minutes at a time. In one particular incident I was rushed into emergency surgery, my poor mother asked the surgeon if I would survive. As the surgeon took me from my mother, he said, ‘put her son into my hands, and into the hands of fate!’. During this surgery I was about to be pronounced dead before the doctors managed to resuscitate me.

On recovery, I grew healthy and strong … but fast-forward to my travels though … and the strange events start to become apparent …’

Episode 40 – The Staircase and Other Listeners’ Stories Part 3

‘My final experience – and by far the most terrifying and memorable for me in that house – happened the day that we were moving out of the property. The year was 2008 … I was eight years old at the time. I was given the task by my mother of going to the very top floor of the house to get a cardboard box that lay at … the top of the staircase … Call it survival instinct, or knowing what was in that house already, but I never trusted it. Seeing the stairway was clear, I tentatively took the first steps upwards …’

Thank you again for listening to and supporting the Haunted UK Podcast – so until the next episode ... take care … and stay safe.

This was initially a KO-FI subscription episode, but I have decided to release it fully, as a thank you to each and every single one of you who have stood by not only the show, but me, while I have been away.

Thank you all so very much for your continued support and kind words.

So, this episode not only indicates that the show is back, but it is also the beginning of a Haunted UK Podcast packed October Spooky Season.

So...grab a drink...dim those lights...and lock the doors....ebjoy.

F. Scott Fitzgerald once remarked, ‘In a real dark night of the soul it is always three o'clock in the morning, day after day’, and this Short Haunt certainly breathes life into this snippet of fine literary wisdom. So, make yourself comfortable as we journey into the dark night of the soul at 3 a.m. in the morning somewhere, and join our listener Conan where he regales his learnings from sleep paralysis and a battle with an unknown entity …

This is the Haunted UK Podcast’s Short Haunts, and this is … ‘Night Terror’.

Episode 41 – The Living Room Whisperer and Other Listeners’ Stories (Part 2)

One late evening, I was sat downstairs alone, when everyone else had gone to bed. I was watching a movie on the TV, and I wanted to see the end as I wasn't that tired. Out of respect for the others in the house, I'd turned the volume down – to not disturb them – even though they were quite a way up in the house. As I was sat there, I began to feel uneasy, not something I'd ever felt in that house, or anywhere else for that matter. Feeling anxious, I was strangely afraid of making any sudden movement; I felt like I was being watched, I guess … this is when I began to hear something … it sounded like a cat’s bell slightly ringing, just like you'd hear if a cat was scratching itself. Now, they did have a cat, but I was certain that it didn't have a bell on its collar. It only seemed to ring for a second or two before it stopped, and made way for something that made my blood … run … cold …
