In 1985 a tunnel was found by a Scottish international rugby player, that led to an enormous underground complex, that had once been a thriving, lawless, city beneath Edinburgh.
This is a very paranormally active place indeed, with one malevolent phantom in particular being very unappreciative of the visitors who come here daily on tours.
I investigated this location a decade ago, and encountered this foul-mouthed, dangerous entity for myself, in what quickly escalated into the most dangerous investigation I had ever led.
Have the Vaults earned their reputation, as being one of the most fearsome places in Scotland?
Let's find out together, when we ask How Haunted are the Edinburgh Vaults?
There is an enhanced version of the podcast on Patreon, which includes audio from the investigation.

Part two of a two-part special sees us return to the Wheatsheaf public house in West Boldon, Tyne and Wear made news worldwide in late 2004 when a psychic night for charity was the catalyst for a series of events so incredible, and horrifying, that the Discovery Channel turned it into an episode for their “A Haunting” series, which was watched by over 20 million people.
The pub, which was named the most haunted in the UK in the same year, following these events, held a secret that had been locked away for a century, until Suzanne walked into the pub that night, and blew the whole thing wide open, much to the displeasure of a malevolent spirit which then threatened to kill her.
You'll hear the rest of the horrifying chain of events directly from Suzanne Gill, the psychic at the centre of the events, in the first part of an interview I conducted with her all about that night at the Wheatsheaf, and the weeks and months that followed.
What's more, you'll hear two very scary EVPs which appeared on our Zoom call, just after Suzanne had been telling me how the threatening ghost of Joseph had said he was going to kill her, when the audio wasn't heard at the time, but later was heard on recording equipment. Is this something explained away as a glitch on the audio, or something far darker?
Let's find out together, when we ask How Haunted is the Wheatsheaf pub?
Thanks so much to Suzanne Gill for taking the time to talk to me, you can contact Suzanne and find out more about her books she's written all about the horror at the Wheatsheaf over on her website at https://suzanne-gill-spiritualist.org

An 800-year-old former-inn regularly placed at the top of lists of the most haunted places in the world. A place so dark and dangerous that the once Bishop of Gloucester, the Rev John Yates, is said to have tried and failed to exorcise the building and was quoted in the Western Daily Press as saying it was "the evilest place I have ever had the misfortune to visit.”
A building constructed atop a 5000-year-old Pagan burial ground, and the skeletal remains of a woman and child were found beneath the floor of the inn, along with an iron dagger, leading to suspicions these unfortunate souls may have been killed as human sacrifices. The building is home to all manner of things that go bump in the night, but does it live up to its infamous reputation?
Let's find out together, when we ask How Haunted is the Ancient Ram Inn
Huge thanks to Emma Heard from https://weird-wiltshire.co.uk for joining me to talk about her investigation at the Ancient Ram Inn back in May 2022. You can read her blog all about her night, and see the photos she refers to at https://weird-wiltshire.co.uk/2022/05/24/the-ancient-ram-inn and contact her on Twitter at @WeirdWiltsBlog.

Dating back almost 2000 years, the Colosseum stands today as one of the new "Seven Wonders", and is one of the most recognisable, and most visited, landmarks on earth.
For five centuries men, women, and animals were brutally killed in front of a crowd of up to 80,000 in gladiator battles, animal hunts, and executions. Around 400,000 humans and over a million animals were slain here, all for the entertainment of the people of Rome.
Its undeniable that this much bloodshed has forever left its mark on the Colosseum, which is today considered the most haunted building in Rome, if not all of Italy.
Together let's look at the history and hauntings, and find out if it deserving of it's reputation of being a hive of paranormal activity?
Let's, together, ask the question, How Haunted is the Roman Colosseum?

One of the best-known landmarks in England, The Tower of London is famed for the Crown Jewels, the Beefeaters, and the Ravens that have stood guard for centuries. It's also famous as being a prison, where torture and execution took place. Left in it's wake is a cast of celebrity ghosts, including Guy Fawkes, Anne Boleyn, a grizzly bear, and something called the Nameless Thing.
Let's together look at the history and hauntings, and ask just How Haunted is the Tower of London?
