New Ghost Stories

He tried to get the ball back. Now he seemed traumatised. What on earth did he find down there?

The supernatural can come in all shapes and sizes. I’ve sometimes been reluctant to publish childhood paranormal cases, as our memories of being young are the most open to distortion. But I was able to prove that both brothers had been very consistent in their telling of their unexpected and unexplained story. So it’s presented here for your consideration.

Work deadlines. Rows with his wife. Baby crying all night. He could just about handle it. Until he realised he was being watched…

This Halloween’s real ghost story is a very modern tale. A haunting true story about someone facing burnout, unable to balance their responsibilities at work and as a parent. It was destined to all fall apart, but not in the way anyone would’ve expected.

Short, sharp and cutting, Saki - aka Hector Hugh Munro - could do more in under three thousand words, than most writers could achieve in 30 thousand. His biting satires would sometimes feature supernatural or uncanny themes as part of his macabre critiques of Edwardian society and culture.

She was only gone 18 months. Why does home feel so different? And why can she hear footsteps in the dark?

We begin season two of this ghost story podcast with a different kind of haunted house story. This supernatural tale is about the way we live today. Many of us have privilege to travel, to make a home for ourselves anywhere. Others are denied that privilege and find themselves unwelcome wherever they try to make their home.

"The first man had his three wishes. Yes," was the reply; "I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death." A special treat to celebrate the first year of the podcast.

For our second classic ghost story reading, we have an uncanny classic by W.W. Jacobs. Jacobs mostly wrote comedies, and has been praised for his well-observed and realistic depictions of working class characters. It’s a measure of the quality of his supernatural fiction, however, that their reputation has outgrown that of his other works.

She could hear it through the walls. She couldn’t hear herself think. And that was just the beginning - it was about to get so much worse.

We end the first season of the New Ghost Stories Podcast with a short, sharp shock. This true-life case is another ghost story about modern living conditions. Where we’re forced to live even closer together, and yet, we know less and less about the people who live around us. These uncanny accounts are only from one person’s perspective. Here there is a second unsettling story that is only hinted at. A story we will probably never know, even though as it played out, other people were only ever just a few feet away.
