This is an enhanced version of episode 10 with actual audio from the investigation.
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.

An impressive castle, which dates back to the early 13th century, has hosted royals and was the sight of a battle. This is a place of myths, legend, curses, and no fewer than nine ghosts. These include the tragic phantom of a woman cruelly left to die by her husband for failing to give him a son, a broken hearted trumpeter, a playful little girl, and the malevolent shade of a murderer hanged in the early 19th century.
Tonight, we head into the wilds of north east Scotland, and ask just how haunted is Fyvie Castle?

A popular railway museum, which opened in 1975, is said to be the haunt of a number of ghosts. Paul, a violent entity who lurks in the ladies toilets, George who remains within the Travelling Post Office, and still takes huge pride in his work, many years following his passing, a tall man in a top hat, a mischievous spirit who likes to mess up the gift shop after dark, the archives has been the scene of terrifying possessions, and a haunted train carriage which was once used as a mobile brother by the Nazis during the second world war.
Would I encounter any of these phantoms when my team and I joined another group to investigate this building after dark?
Let’s find out together.
Tonight, join me for a very special episode, as I once again take on one of the scariest places in York, this time, the National Railway Museum.

Originally built as a children’s orphanage, before becoming a hospital, and then later a lunatic asylum. This building has bore witness to all manner of horrors, including the death of a small unloved child who was locked in a cupboard as a punishment, and forgotten about, only to be found dead later. Today knocking, banging, screaming, and sobbing is heard from within cupboards in that area, which is nicknamed the Naughty Boys Corridor.
It’s stood empty and abandoned for over 25 years, and has a growing reputation which has seen it regularly named in top 10 lists in recent years of the most haunted places to be found in the UK.
Full apparitions, and shadowy figures are seen all too often here and send people screaming in terror. Old wheelchairs and gurneys, remnants of the building’s past, move all on their own. People have reported the feeling of being pushed down and feeling sick and left physically shaking in some areas of this location. Whereas others have simply broken down in floods of tears, feeling utter despair and sadness for no apparent reason.
Tonight, let us head to one of the scariest places in Liverpool and ask just how haunted is Newsham Park Hospital?
Huge thanks to Sabrin Chandler-Lewis for helping enormously with the research for this episode.

A historic inn, in a remote, beautiful location is claimed to be not only the oldest pub in Wales, but the most haunted. This building is said to have been where 182 men, women, and children were trialed and sentenced to death, and their execution was carried out right here, within these centuries old stone walls. There is all manner of paranormal phenomena reported here, attributed to a friendly former barmaid who can be found in one of the bedrooms, a helpful vicar, then there is are more sinister phantoms of a judge and a hangman. And that’s just for starters.
Tonight, let us head to Wales and ask just how haunted is the Skirrid Inn?

A 12th century castle, which has now stood alone, empty, and unused for over 350 years. In a remote valley in the wild’s of Northumberland this ancient fortress has seen reports of dark shadowy figures moving swiftly around the barely standing stonework. Strange glowing lights are seen moving around the ruin, and footsteps are heard walking on floorboards above visitor’s heads, despite there having been no floorboards there for centuries.
Tonight, let us head into the Northumbrian countryside and ask just how haunted is Edlingham Castle?

In episode 29 we began our scary adventure through Cumbria, a picture postcard perfect county. It’s as spooky as it is beautiful, as you’ll see if you head over to howhauntedpod on Instagram and take a look at the locations we dared to explore last week, and those that we’re about to encounter this time out.
Tonight, join me for a very special episode as we ask, once again, just how haunted is Cumbria?

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?
Huge thanks to Karin Beasant of the Jamaica Inn's in-house paranormal team to talking to me.
