Ep 103 - The Odstock Curse

In episode 103 we welcome Emma from the Weird Wiltshire blog to the podcast to tell us all about a curse dating back over 200 years, which would see anyone who should lock the door of a church drop down dead. 
So join Emma and I, and let us together find out all about the Odstock Curse.
Thanks so much to Emma for joining me once again, be sure to check out her blog at https://weird-wiltshire.co.uk
As I said in the introduction I have decided to learn to play the ukulele and the one I picked came to me from www.enyamusic.co.uk. Check them out for all of your musical instrument needs.

Bonus Episode 18 - Dean Court Hotel

Originally released for Patreons in February 2024 I hope you enjoy this very special episode.
 
In the 18th Patreon bonus podcast we return once more to York, and in particular to a hotel in the shadow of York Minster which was originally built between 1864 and 1865 as three separate dwellings for the Dean of York Minster, to house the Clergy.
But what would happen when my team and I stepped foot inside this hotel, which has been labelled the most haunted in York by some, considering that only two weeks before our investigation the hotel had made the local news when a guest was pulled out of bed by his feet by unseen hands.
Let us together ask the question, just how haunted is the Dean Court Hotel?

Ep 102 - Cairndhu House

In episode 102 we go to Northern Ireland and visit a once great house just a short 30 minute drive from Belfast. Built in the mid 1870s as a summer retreat, this mansion has been a home, a hospital, it aided the war effort during World War 2, and now it is sadly a ruined, vandalised, shadow of its former grandeur, facing an uncertain future. And it’s considered potentially the most haunted house in Northern Ireland.
So join me and let us ask together, just how haunted is Cairndhu House?
Thanks so much to Haunted Tour Team NI for joining me to tell us of their experiences in Cairndhu House, check out their Facebook group at www.facebook.com/people/Haunted-Tours-NI-page/100089679175680/

February Patreon Teaser - Seven Nights in a 15th Century Castle Part 2

In the 30th Patreon bonus podcast we continue our adventure in North Yorkshire, back in the late summer of 2024, when I lived in a haunted castle for seven days and nights.  
Last time out we had a sample of what this 15th century castle had to offer, but in the final four nights of my time here, things are about to get far more scary.
Tonight, let us once again ask the question, just how haunted is the undercroft of a 15th century castle?

Ep 101 - Bellver Castle

In episode 101 we head overseas to the beautiful Balearic island of Mallorca. And just 3km from Palma, the capital of Mallorca, we find a castle as well preserved as it is haunted.
Let us escape the British winter and head to sunny Spain, and let’s ask together how haunted is Bellver Castle?

Bonus Episode 17 - 48 Hours Alone With a Haunted Doll

Originally released for Patreons in January 2024 I hope you enjoy this very special episode.
 
In the 17th Patreon bonus podcast I do something a little different. Following on from episode 69 and 70, in which we looked at some of the most haunted dolls in the world, I buy a haunted doll of my very own and spend some time after dark all alone with nothing but the doll for company.
Tonight, you join me from a hotel room, as I ask the question, just how haunted is my newly purchased haunted doll?

Ep 100 - The Haunted Coastline of North Tyneside

In episode 100 you join me on location here in the north east as I give you a tour along a beautiful stretch of coast visited by around 6 million people each year, but what almost all of those visitors won’t know is just how many supposedly haunted spots there are here just waiting to be explored. Wrapped up against the British winter I will brave the elements to tell you about these locations, and a couple of polterguests will pop by too.
So, join me in asking just how haunted is the coastline of North Tyneside?

Ep 99 - The Ghost Trail of Teesside

In episode 99 we spend some more time in the north east of England, and look at a region known for it’s industrial heritage, and perhaps not known quite so much for the plethora of phantoms that lurk within this region.
So, let us ask together, just how haunted is Teesside?

Ep 98 - Listeners' Questions III

In episode 98, we kick off 2025 by once again delving into the mailbag of questions sent in from listeners and I will answer questions including what I'm most proud of since launching the podcast, the scariest thing I've ever experienced on an investigation, where do I think is the most haunted place in Britain, and where would be my dream location to investigate.
