In the 25th Patreon bonus podcast we're doing something a little bit special. In April I found a hard drive containing audio from four investigations that I conducted in 2011 and 2012. Dozens of hours of audio that I lost around a decade ago, and I thought was lost forever. These were four absolutely incredible locations, and I have covered all four investigations - minus the audio from that night - on the podcast previously. So in the Patreon specials across June, July, August, and September I will revisit those episodes and add in the audio, which was seemingly lost forever. I've saved the best until last, and September's Patreon exclusive episode includes over two hours and 15 minutes of audio from that unforgettable night, so you can hear what happened, exactly as it happened.
But what would happen when my team and I descended beneath the city streets to investigate this tourist attraction that has found infamy, since it opened in 2003, and is now regarded as one of the most haunted places, in an incredibly haunted city.
Tonight, let us find out together as we ask the question, just how haunted is Mary King’s Close?

This time our we do something a little bit different, as you join me in the remote Northumbrian countryside at a pele tower dating from the 14th century. I join Spiritus Paranormal for a paranormal investigation, and I’m taking you along with me as not only will I tell you all about the history, the legends, and the ghost stories, but I’ll talk you through every aspect of our investigation on that summer’s night, and you’ll hear the actual audio so you can hear what happened, exactly as it happened. There’s a lot to hear, so this is the first of a two-part special.
So, without further ado lets ask together, just how haunted is Cresswell Pele Tower?

This time we conclude our time in the Czech Republic by visiting a place nicknamed the bone church for obvious reasons as the skeletons of up to 70,000 human beings have been used to create all manner of decorative pieces for this church, understandably considered by many to be one of the scariest places on the planet. But are there any ghosts to be found here?
Lets’ ask together, just how haunted is the Sedlec Ossuary?

In the 24th Patreon bonus podcast you join me at a magnificent building we visited back in episode 21 of the podcast, but we're doing something a little bit special. In April I found a hard drive containing audio from four investigations that I conducted in 2011 and 2012. Dozens of hours of audio that I lost around a decade ago, and I thought was lost forever. These were four absolutely incredible locations, and I have covered all four investigations - minus the audio from that night - on the podcast previously. So in the Patreon specials across June, July, August, and September I will revisit those episodes and add in the audio, which was seemingly lost forever. This time it’s time to head back to York Guildhall. And the episode now includes almost 2 hours and 45 minutes of audio from that unforgettable night, so you can hear what happened, exactly as it happened.
But what would happen when my team and I stepped foot inside this location on a chilly October evening in search of the spirits to be found here, including phantom monks, voices calling out in empty rooms, and a large shadowy man, who’s heavy footsteps are a sure sign of his presence.
Tonight, let us find out together as we ask the question, just how haunted is York Guildhall?

Originally released for Patreon supporters in September 2023 I hope you enjoy this very special episode.
In the 13th Patreon bonus podcast I make the short 20 minute drive to the village of Springwell in Sunderland to investigate Bowes Railway Museum.
But what would happen when my team and I joined an organised investigation to see what would happen in this former railway once darkness fell? In this episode not only will I tell you all about the location and our investigation, but you’ll hear actual audio from the night itself.
Tonight, let us ask, just how haunted is Bowes Railway Museum?

Let us continue our time in the Czech Republic and visit a former prison in the heart of the country’s capital, Prague. This tower is named for it’s first, and most famous, inmate, a man who some believe never left and remains here in death. What will the Director for the Department of Tourism have to tell me when I speak with him about the ghosts of this structure within the Prague Castle complex? And I will read you an email from a listener who visited while on holiday and has a tale to tell that is an incredible, as it is utterly terrifying.
So, lets ask together, just how haunted is Daliborka Tower?

We begin a month of episodes from the Czech Republic, starting at a 13th century castle a little less than 50 miles from Prague, which has been the subject of debate since it was constructed as no one truly understands its purpose.
Could this fortress actually be the last line of defense against nightmarish creatures from the depths of hell?
Lets’ find out together, as we ask how haunted is Houska Castle?

Dozens of hours of audio that I lost around a decade ago, and I thought was lost forever. These were four absolutely incredible locations, and I have covered all four investigations - minus the audio from that night - on the podcast previously. So in the Patreon specials across June, July, August, and September I will revisit those episodes and add in the audio, which was seemingly lost forever, last month I covered Middlethorpe Hall Hotel, and this time out its time to once again enter Edinburgh Dungeon. And the episode now over two hours of audio from that unforgettable night, so you can hear what happened, exactly as it happened.
But what would happen when my team and I investigated a building designed to scare, disgust and terrify. Creepy, lifelike mannequins made up like torture victims, or a cannibalistic feast. Actors telling stories of the darkest periods in the history of this city. However could it actually be haunted? I investigated this location a decade ago, and received the biggest fright of my life.
Tonight, join me as, after dark, we dare to ask just how haunted is the Edinburgh Dungeon?

This time you join me on location in the wild, remote, Northumberland countryside, and we’re on a monster hunt as I search for an eight-foot-tall creature covered in thick hair, with glowing eyes, who causes the ground to shake whenever it is present. In early 2002 the nation's imagination was captured by the notion that this country park could be home to a bigfoot-type creature. Of course the area has a ghost, in the shape of the Bonny Lass of Belsay, and I will tell you of some of the other terrifying creatures that are said to lurk within England's most northern county.
Let's ask together, just how haunted is Bolam Lake Country Park?

You join me for a third, and final time, at a 4600 year old site, which contains the largest megalithic stone circle in the world. This time we take a look at one of the largest, and most impressive Neolithic burial sites in Britain. We don’t know how many early humans were buried here, but we do know that this place appears to be haunted.
So, lets’ ask together one more time, just how haunted is Avebury?
Huge thank you to Emma for joining me, and you can find all of her blogs, including the series about Avebury at www.weird-wiltshire.co.uk/
