Welcome to Episode 4 of Made of Ghosts: “The Attic.”

What happens when the quietest room in the house isn’t empty at all?

In this chilling true story, I share my first experience exploring the attic of my childhood home — a boarded-out room hiding unsettling secrets, including a huge rusted hook, dartboard incidents, and the unmistakable sound of someone laughing when no one was there. 

🕯️ In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why the attic felt wrong from the start
- The moment curiosity turned to terror
- How small details — a hook, a dartboard, a laugh — built a lifelong mystery

In 1984, we moved to a red-brick semi in Chesterfield. It should have been a fresh start. Instead, it felt like the house was waiting for us. In this episode, I share the unsettling moment I stepped into our new home for the first time — and what I heard on the floor above that still gives me chills.

The beginning of something bigger. Something I didn’t yet have the words for.

Two memories. Two stories. Both from early childhood. And both left a mark that’s never quite faded. 

In this opening episode of Made of Ghosts, I share the first paranormal experiences I can remember. One happened in my grandmother’s old house in Ireland—a place shaped by superstition, ritual, and silence. The other took place in a tall Victorian home in Yorkshire, where something unseen seemed to move in the night. These aren’t just stories. They’re fragments of a haunted past I’ve carried for decades. 

I’m Rachel—lifelong sceptic, and accidental experiencer of the strange. This podcast is where I finally start talking about it. Maybe it’ll help you do the same.
