How Haunted? Podcast | Horrible Histories, Real Life Ghost Stories, and Paranormal Investigations from Some of the Most Haunted Places on Earth

April Patreon Teaser - Preston Tower

In the 20th Patreon bonus podcast you join me on location at a 14th century pele tower in Northumberland, constructed during uncertain times when England was at war with Scotland, and being so close to the border required this tower to be fortified.
But what would happen when, all alone, I stepped foot inside this tower? Would I hear the footsteps and voices heard here all too often, or perhaps I would be unfortunate enough to encounter the Preston Hound? Also you'll hear all about what happened to a listener when they visited during the summer of 2023.
So tonight, join me as together we ask, just how haunted is Preston Tower?

Bonus Episode 10 - The Cammo Estate

Originally released for Patreons in June 2023 I hope you enjoy this very special episode.
A grand estate built around a house built in 1693, and destroyed by fire in 1977 is said to be the haunt of shadowy figures belonging to those who knew the building so well in life. The stable block, added in 1811, is one of the more active areas. Why this is the case we’ll likely never know.
Phantom lights float around the house, and whispering is heard deep in the woodland. Dogs howl and bark within the grounds in the dead of night, and can be heard for miles around.
Would I encounter any of these phantoms when my team and I investigated this estate back in the spring of 2012?
Let's find out together.
Tonight, join me for a very special episode, as we return to Edinburgh and ask just how haunted is the Cammo Estate?

This time out you join me for part two of our trilogy of episodes situated in Ireland, this time we visit a further twelve locations in this most picturesque, yet terrifying, of counties, with stops along our ghost trail including a school, an asylum, a gaol, and if you need a pint of Guiness, or something stronger, to calm your nerves you’ll be pleased to hear we’re stopping at plenty of pubs along our route.

March Patreon Teaser - The Lit & Phil

In the 19th Patreon bonus podcast you join me as I investigate a building dating from 1825, which is today the largest independent library outside of London. This was the first public building lit by an electric lightbulb and in 1830 a mummy from Egypt was unwrapped right here.
But what would happen when, joined by fellow Geordie podcaster, Icy Sedgwick, we attended a fundraising ghost hunt at this historic location in our home town. Some have claimed that this building could be the home of 16 individual spirits, including a former librarian who still the flicks through the books after dark.
So tonight, join me as together ask, just how haunted is the Lit & Phil.

Bonus Episode 9 - Haggerston Castle Holiday Park

Originally released for Patreons in May 2023 I hope you enjoy this very special episode.
A popular holiday park built around a 13th century castle. This is not your typical location for a paranormal investigation, a holiday park full of luxury caravans and holiday makers spending their weekends boating on the lake, or playing on the arcades and fruit machines. What they’re all blissfully unaware of however is the darker side of this particular holiday park. The ghosts and ghouls that roam the older parts. These include the Victorian lady who roams the Rotunda, the small child seen within the summer house, and the man seen walking through the Italian gardens.
Would I encounter any of these phantoms when my team and I investigated this holiday park one summer’s night?
Let’s find out together.
Tonight, join me for a very special episode, as in the month that my new book Paranormal Northumberland is released, we head to that very county and turn our attention, rather unusually, to Haggerston Castle Holiday Park.

Ep 74 - The Ghost Trail of County Cork Part 1

This time out we begin an epic trilogy of episodes in which we’ll head to Ireland and I will lead you across a county as haunted as it is beautiful, and in total we will visit no fewer than 26 places of considerable interest, with locations as varied as castles, an asylum, pubs, churches and cathedrals, a school, and even a river and a lake. And beware as there may well be ghosts, ghouls, poltergeists, and monsters at every turn. Strap in, as this one is most definitely not for the faint of heart, as I lead you on one hell of a ghost trail.
Lets’ ask together, for the first time, just how haunted is County Cork?

February Patreon Teaser - Dean Court Hotel

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?

Join me as we return to me native north east, and let’s ask just how haunted are the theatres of Tyne & Wear?
