This time out rather than look at one location, we’re instead going to take a look at an entire county. A county in the north west of England which has had its history and landscape characterised by invasions, migration and settlement, as well as battles and skirmishes between the English and the Scots. A county steeped in myth and legend, with possible ties to King Arthur, and then there’s the ghosts…..

Constructed upon a street with Roman origins, number 35 Stonegate was built in 1482 and has a fascinating history having been a publishing house, a psychic museum, a haunted house offering self-led tours and overnight paranormal investigations, and now it’s a clothes shop. Believed to be home to 14 spirits, this is one of the most haunted places in York, and one of the phantoms that call this place home is believed to be very, very dangerous indeed.
Would I encounter him, when I led my small team of ghost hunters inside this historic building after dark?
Let’s find out together.
Tonight, join me for a very special episode, as we head to one of the most haunted buildings in York, number 35 Stonegate.

In episode 27 we looked at the Jamaica Inn, the famed smuggler’s inn on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall in the South West of England. A building dating from around 1760 with an incredible haunted heritage, where there are ghosts and ghouls lurking around every corner, even in the newest wing which was added in 2017 there are still things that go bump in the night.
This time out I will talk with Karin who leads the in-house paranormal team at the inn, and knows the ghosts of the Jamaica Inn as well as anyone.
Tonight, join me as we return to the haunted smuggler's inn and ask once again just how haunted is The Jamaica Inn?

A monument to murder stands high above the village of Elsdon, in the remote moorlands of Northumberland. This stands as a reminder of a vicious murder which occurred in 1791, when a defenceless old lady was killed by three criminals who wanted to steal her wares to make some easy money. They were caught, and executed, and one of them had his body hung in a gibbet cage as a warning to others. It’s believed that his ghost wanders the area where his body was picked clean by the wildlife, before his bones were unceremoniously thrown away.
Tonight, join me as we head into the wilds of Northumberland and ask just how haunted is Winter's Gibbet?

A near 600 year old castle stands within a housing estate in Sunderland, in the north east of England. For decades it stood, empty, unused, and famously haunted by the ghost of a young stablehand who was murdered at the hand of his master, the lord of the castle.
Tonight, join me as we go in search of the Cauld Lad, and ask just how haunted is Hylton Castle?

In 1839 work commenced to build a tunnel over two miles long beneath the streets of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the north east of England, this was to get coal to the River Tyne. In later years it would provide shelter to the people of the city during German bombing raids during World War 2. It was then left empty, abandoned, and forgotten, before the damp, dark, eerie tunnel was reopened as a historic visitor attraction in more recent years.
Since reopening however, what it clear is that the tunnel wasn’t as empty as it first seemed, as the ghosts of the past remained underground. Waiting. Shadows are seen, talking is heard, and even a deep, unmistakable growl.
But what would be lying in wait for me, when I led my small team into this unwelcoming Victoria Tunnel after dark?

The most notorious incarnation of the Hellfire Club is undoubtedly that of Sir Francis Dashwood. Shrouded in mystery and superstition and rumours of orgies, satanic worship and human sacrifices. This club met in secret in a cave system that lay 300 metres below a 14th century church, overlooking West Wycombe, and it was here that these unholy acts took place. The club may be long gone, but the ghosts remain, with reports of all manner of terrifying paranormal phenomena.
This week we find ourselves in the lair of one of Britain’s most infamous societies, and ask just how haunted are the Hellfire Caves?

Overlooking Dublin and its surroundings, upon the crest of 1250 foot Hill, surrounded by dense woodland sits an ominous ruin made from the stone of a 5000-year-old grave. This structure is steeped in rumour of satanic worship and human and animal sacrifice. A club, feared by locals met here regularly in the 18th century and indulged in all manner of sordid behaviour.
This has left its mark on the isolated old hunting lodge, which is now considered one of the most haunted locations anywhere on the Emerald Isle.
Let's find out together when we ask How Haunted is the Dublin Hellfire Club.
