In this episode, we’re sharing real ghost stories sent in by listeners.

It begins with Tonya’s pub story, where her brother’s girlfriend saw a figure waving behind her in an upstairs pub window. She thought it was Tonya’s dad.
It wasn’t.

You’ll also hear from a woman who, on the first night in her new home, felt hands clap right beside her ear while she was alone.

Next is a story shared by MusicLover on TikTok, about their mum’s encounter with a gentle gypsy girl, peaceful but unexplained.

And finally, one of the darkest stories yet. A listener describes an evil man forming within smoke, a presence that felt deliberate and deeply unsettling.

All stories are real. All sent in by listeners.

Alton Towers is known for its rides, its screams, and its crowds.
But long before it became a theme park, this land was already steeped in history.

In this episode of The Darkling Chronicles, we explore the forgotten past of Alton Towers, from its ancient origins and ruined mansion to the ghostly encounters reported by staff and visitors after dark.

You’ll hear a firsthand account from someone who worked inside the Towers during Halloween Scarefest, alongside other unsettling experiences shared over the years. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, these stories raise one question… why does this place feel different once the gates are closed?

Black flies in winter. Footsteps in empty rooms. Medical staff watching a child do something that should not be physically possible. The Ammons “Demon House” case is one of the most modern, most documented, and most divisive hauntings in recent history, with police, child services, doctors, and a priest all pulled into the same nightmare.

In this episode of The Darkling Chronicles, we go through the case like a documentary, not a campfire story. Witness statements, reported incidents, and the uncomfortable analysis in the middle, where it stops being entertainment and starts feeling a bit too real.

If you like your paranormal with evidence, controversy, and the kind of dread that sits in your chest afterwards, you’re in the right place.

Step inside the ancient stone walls of the Tower of London, where every corner holds a story and every shadow feels just a little too alive.

In this episode, we uncover chilling tales from one of the most haunted landmarks in the world, including a true ghost story shared by Colette, a former freelance hairdresser for the Beefeaters' wives. While working near the White Tower, Colette experienced something unforgettable... something she still can’t fully explain.

From centuries of dark history to real-life encounters that will make you sleep with the lights on, this episode takes you deeper into the Tower than most dare to go.

Press play if you’re brave enough. 👻

In this episode, I take a step away from the usual ghostly tales to share something a little more personal: why I first fell into the world of the paranormal. From childhood moments that never quite made sense to the strange, comforting pull of the unexplained, this off-piste detour gives you a glimpse behind the stories and into the heart of why I do what I do. If you’ve ever wondered what draws someone to the shadows, this one’s for you. Turn the lights down, get comfortable, and let’s go back to where it all began.

In this episode, Justin takes us down The Haunted Lanes of Hartland, where he and his mates stumble upon something they’ll never forget. Then we visit The Haunted Cauliflower, where Helen recalls the eerie happenings inside a centuries-old pub that refuses to rest. And finally, Welsh Sarah tells us about The Man on the Stairs - a story that starts with curiosity and ends with a terrifying bang at the door.

These aren’t just stories…they’re experiences that linger long after the lights go out.
