Emma has returned! And this week to ease her back into cohosting duties we are becoming paranormal investigators to discuss a potential haunting that took place in South London in 1938. Alma Fielding had it all, a new three bed house, a husband on a good wage and (potentially) a lover that she kept in the shed at the bottom of the garden... though this last one might have been cobblers. But following a bout of kidney trouble she suddenly found herself under poltergeist attack! Luckily for her a paranormal investigator called Nandor Fodor was on hand to help. Prepare for a wild tale of ever escalating paranormal problems, with appearances from Harry Houdini, Bela Lugosi and Sigmund Freud. Guest Host: Emma Heathcote<hr> Hosted on Acast.

The Croydon Poltergeist -  (or) Weird things happen in the suburbs

The British Isles have thousands of years of history, so it's weird that all most people were taught at school was World War Two, how many wives Henry VIII had and that the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 (always worth a try if you are trying to guess someones pin number). If you've always wanted to learn about all the bits between these events, but only if it can be done in a random and eclectic manner why not try Consistently Eccentric History? A podcast where each week you can listen in while I tell one of my friends a story about a lesser known person or event in British history, the weirder and less believable the better. With an archive of over 150 episodes you will never again be short a weird historical fact when trying to impress others.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
