For our 100th episode we head to Britain’s most infamous haunted house: 30 East Drive. Said to be plagued by the malevolent spirit known as the Black Monk, this unassuming Yorkshire council house has terrified investigators, inspired books and films, and cemented its place as one of the UK’s most enduring hauntings.

To celebrate 100 episodes of storytelling, we’re joined by a very special guest: Bil Bungay, co-writer of The Black Monk of Pontefract and producer of the chilling feature film When the Lights Went Out. As the current owner of 30 East Drive, Bil brings unparalleled insight into the house’s dark history, its unexplained phenomena, and what it’s truly like to hold the keys to England’s most notorious poltergeist property.

From the original Farrar and Pritchard family hauntings to modern-day encounters, Bill guides us through decades of terror, myth, and mystery; revealing behind-the-scenes secrets, personal experiences, and why the legend of the Black Monk continues to grip the world.

A landmark episode deserves a landmark haunting. Join us as we step into the haunted halls of 30 East Drive… if you dare.

Welcome to the Season Six Premiere of The West London Witch!

This summer has been an explosive one for the paranormal community. The internet has been alight with controversial rumours surrounding famed ghost hunters Ed and Lorraine Warren and their most infamous artifact: the Annabelle Doll.

The drama has been so sensational, confusing, and far-reaching; so much so that I reached out to the Warrens’ grandson, Chris McKinnell, to uncover not only the true origin story of Annabelle but also her enduring legacy.

The time has finally come for the Season Five Finale! As per tradition, we’re closing out with a spine-chilling tribute to Are You Afraid of the Dark? Join us as we dive into a collection of eerie urban legends and terrifying hometown horror stories. Dim the lights, grab a blanket, and prepare to be scared.

There is no place more famous on earth for its connection to witchcraft than Salem, Massachusetts. Today we are hopping on our broomsticks as we dive into one of New England’s most chilling legends—the infamous Curse of Giles Corey.

Viral TikTok sensation and graveyard wanderer Grace, known to her followers as Graves with Grace instagram and Goodnight Grace on Tik Tok, guides us through the shadowy history of Howard Street Cemetery in Salem, Massachusetts—a place steeped in sorrow, vengeance, and whispered curses.

Accused of witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials, Giles Corey met a gruesome end—pressed to death under heavy stones. But before he drew his final breath, Corey is said to have uttered a curse that would haunt Salem for generations. Since then, his ghost has reportedly been seen before major tragedies, and a dark legacy hangs over the very soil where he died.

Join us as Grace unravels the mystery, explores the cemetery’s haunted past, and reveals why Giles Corey's curse may still echo through the cobblestones of Salem today.

We finally did it! After 93 spellbinding episodes, the stars have aligned and the cauldron has bubbled just right: today’s episode is all about witches.

Joining us is the enchanting Feeya from The Witches Tour—a walking tour company that haunts the cobbled streets of London, York, and Edinburgh, uncovering eerie legends and forgotten magic.

In this episode, Feeya conjures a tale drenched in darkness and mystery, a chilling blend of tragedy, deception, conspiracy, and grisly death. It’s a story pulled from the shadowy corners of history, where truth twists like smoke and the macabre dances with the magical.

So light a candle, pour yourself a steaming mug of witches’ brew, and settle in. You’re about to be spellbound by a wickedly enchanting tale you won’t soon forget.

Every now and then, a story grabs me and won’t let go. That’s what happened with the Boulder Jane Doe. After reading about the case and discovering Silvia Pettem’s powerful book, and her appearance in Web of Death on Disney+, I knew I had to speak with her.

Silvia isn’t just a gifted author—she’s a masterful storyteller whose passion radiates both on the page and on screen. Her dedication to giving the Boulder Jane Doe her name back after 50 years of anonymity is nothing short of remarkable.

Please enjoy this beautiful journey to give justice to Someone's Daughter. 

Welcome to the third instalment of my favourite short yet scary stories. I have conducted over 100 interviews for The West London Witch, but not all of those stories fit our structure. So what happened to them? Well, the main reason a story does not make it onto the show is because it is simply too short. However, today I decided it was time to dust off some more of my favourite mini stories. I hope you enjoy this collection of boo moments that were just too spooky to sit hidden away on my hard drive.
