Ep 95 - The Christmas Spirits

As we enter December and get ever closer to Christmas, which, for many, is a very, very special time of year. This is the perfect time of year, on this cold, dark, winter’s evening to explore twenty different locations the world over which are said to be the haunt of spooks that only make an appearance at Christmas.
As the snow falls gently outside, and twinkling fairy lights illuminate our homes, let’s gather together around the warmth of the fire to delve into the spectral side of Christmas, and ask just how haunted does it get around Christmastime?

Bonus Episode 15 - The Bedlam Theatre

Originally released for Patreons in November 2023 I hope you enjoy this very special episode.
 
In the 15th Patreon bonus podcast we head to Edinburgh, and to a student-ran theatre which dates from the mid-19th century, and before we spent a cold November night there back in 2012, had never before had a paranormal investigation carried out there.
 
But what would happen when my team and I stepped foot inside this ancient inn? In this episode not only will I tell you all about the location and our investigation, but you’ll hear actual audio from the night itself.
 
Tonight, let us once more visit Edinburgh, and ask just how haunted is the Bedlam Theatre?

In the 27th Patreon bonus podcast you join me on location in October of this year, 2024, in the Scottish borders at a jail built in 1823 that would house the very worst of the prisoners in the area.
What would happen when fellow Geordie podcaster, Icy Sedgwick, and I joined a public ghost hunt at this jail built atop the site of a castle that stood here 400 years earlier?
Tonight lets ask together, just how haunted is Jedburgh Castle Jail?

Ep 94 - The Haunted Hotels of Northumberland

Join me in the most remote county in England, right here in my native north east as we take a deep dive into a trio of hotels you definitely want to avoid if you want a good night’s sleep. However if you’re aim is to seek out those ethereal entities that lurk in such places in the dead of night, then these hotels will be just perfect for your needs.  
So, let’s ask together, just how haunted are the hotels of Northumberland?

Ep 93 - Scarborough's Grand Hotel

Join me on a trip to the seaside, as we head to North Yorkshire and check into a hotel that opened in 1867 as the largest hotel in Europe. The hotel has since seen its fair share of highs and lows, and was even targeted by Adolf Hitler during World War II as being perfect for his base in England. Today the hotel is, sadly, a budget hotel but it is still a popular, historic, retreat for those heading to this delightful town.
And of course it’s rumoured to be haunted, but just what eerie phenomena is said to occur within this once great building?
Let’s head to the seaside and ask together, just how haunted is Scarborough’s Grand Hotel?

Halloween 2024 - Vampire Month: The Vampiric Castles of Transylvania

The culmination of Vampire Month sees us head into the heart of Transylvania, and we will delve deep into the life and death of Vlad III Dracula, a man who undoubtedly influenced Bram Stoker’s decision to place his Dracula here. We will then go in search of ghosts in three gothic castles with ties to not only Vlad, but Dracula himself.
This Halloween night join me in asking just how haunted are the vampiric castles of Transylvania?
Huge thanks to Yvonne and David from the Scottish Ghost Company for talking to me about their night in Bran Castle.

Ep 91 - Vampire Month: Dracula in Whitby

We continue Vampire Month by going in search of Dracula in an English seaside town which has fully embraced its status as the gothic capital of the UK. As we get ever closer to Halloween we will explore in depth why this place is so intrinsically linked to vampires, I will guide you on a tour of the locations with ties to Dracula, and we will look for ghosts and ghouls in some of the town’s oldest, and most iconic, structures.
So lets’ ask together, can Dracula be found in Whitby?

Ep 90 - Vampire Month: The Vampires and Ghosts of New Orleans French Quarter

This time out, we continue Vampire Month by heading across the pond to the oldest neighbourhood in the city of New Orleans, and it’s here we will go in search of those blood sucking creatures who stalk in the dead of night.
Not only will we look at the vampiric connections to this place, but we will, of course, seek out the ghosts and ghouls that may be found here.
So let us ask together, just how haunted is New Orleans’ French Quarter?
