In this episode of the Spectral Asylum Podcast we’re continuing with our Halloween theme where Craig shares his favourite legend and Laura shares her favourite haunting.

 

Craig’s favourite legend is the legend of the Flying Dutchman. He talks about where the legend originated from and its sightings in modern and historical times. What was the Flying Dutchman? Was it a shipwreck or was it a ghost ship?

 

Laura’s favourite haunting is the Lalaurie Mansion in New Orleans, Louisiana. Who was Madame Lalaurie? What happened in her house to cause such a high-profile haunting? What exactly are people seeing and hearing in and around the LaLaurie mansion for the past 100 years?

Episode 36 - Highgate Cemetery & The Highgate Vampire

We’re back after another break, this time it wasn’t our fault, I swear! :) Craig’s laptop died unfortunately but we’re back in action with our regular spookiness! We chat about Poltergeists! What are they? We hear so much about them, especially in Hollywood but where did the term actually come from? Are there any cases of Poltergeist activity that are actually comparable to Hollywood? We delve into some famous cases as well as the origin of Poltergeists! Let us know what you think. Have you ever had an encounter with a poltergeist? We’d love to hear from you!

Episode 34 - Pandemic Panic

Mind control, the government drugging unsuspecting citizens, the CIA dabbling in the use of black magic as a weapon of war; this all sounds like a sci-fi fantasy novel, right? Wrong. This all actually happened in the 1950s, the CIA were testing mind-control techniques in a top-secret project called MKUltra.
In this episode we delve into what MKUltra actually is and gloss over some of the 150 subprojects and its effect on the nation. Also we explore the conspiracies relating to MKUltra. Is this still going on today? Is it REALLY declassified? You decide.

Episode 33 - MKUltra

In Episode 32 we go back to our roots! After a two-parter of Jonestown we decided something a bit more upbeat and more "us". We chat about Djinn/Jinn, the demons of Islamic Folklore. We had no idea that this was so comprehensive until we started looking into it!
As always, it is never our intention to offend or deliberately misrepresent a story, if we get something wrong please let us know!
