Bonus Episode 7 - 35 Stonegate

Tuesday Oct 31, 2023

Tuesday Oct 31, 2023


Happy Halloween!
Originally released for Patreons in March I hope you enjoy this very special episode.
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.

The scariest time of the year is here, when darkness reigns and the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. Tonight, as the moon casts an eerie glow on the world below, and the wind whispers ancient secrets, we venture into a realm where the extraordinary becomes ordinary, and the mundane fades away. But beware, dear listener, as the subject of this year’s Halloween special is most definitely not the faint of heart.
For tonight we embark on a spine-chilling journey through the haunting streets of Whitechapel, as we unravel the mysteries surrounding one of the most notorious figures in history: Jack the Ripper.
In our quest for truth and understanding, we will walk in the footsteps of Jack the Ripper himself, peering into the shadowy corners where his victims met their untimely demise. And we’ll get to know Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly—the five canonical victims of Jack the Ripper, each murdered in the most horrific manner imaginable.
And we’ll seek out the ghosts of Whitechapel. Reports of ghostly apparitions, eerie footsteps, and mysterious sounds have plagued this area of England’s capital for the last 135 years. Are these spectral echoes the tormented souls of those who met their end at the hands of the Ripper?
Tonight, on the scariest night of the year turn the lights down low, and join me as I guide you through the East End of London as we ask just how haunted is Jack the Ripper’s Whitechapel?

Join me this Halloween, as my team I step foot inside an ancient inn, labelled by many as the most haunted in Britain. We would have a night that none of us would ever forget.
But just what happened when my team and I once again headed to York, the most haunted city in the world, and dared to ask just how haunted is the Golden Fleece?

In this episode we conclude a very special series of episodes as for a third, and final time, you will join me in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, where, in August of this year, 2023, I conducted a paranormal investigation at a former railway.
Not only will I tell you every aspect of what happened throughout the evening, but you’ll hear audio from the night itself, so you can hear what happened, exactly as it happened.
Tonight, in the final part of our three-part special, lets conclude our time in Sunderland and ask just how haunted is the Bowes Railway Museum?

On the night of the 26th August 2023 I made the short 20 minute drive to the village of Springwell in Sunderland to investigate Bowes Railway Museum.
But what happened when my team and I joined an organised investigation to conduct a ghost hunt 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?

This week we return to my native north east and explore a Roman fort dating from the 2nd century where a skeletal Roman warrior still stands on guard, a transport museum where a navy aircraft shudders and shakes for seemingly no reason, a museum where an Egyptian mummy roams after dark, and an old railway where former staff members remain in death.
This week we ask, just how haunted are the museums of Tyne & Wear?

Ep 54 - Cardiff Castle

Friday Sep 15, 2023

Friday Sep 15, 2023

Let's head to Wales and step inside a fortress standing on a site with almost 2000 years occupation. This castle was built in the late 11th century in the centre of this capital city which was grown around it. Today it is a breathtaking place to visit, but is also the haunt of all manner of nightmarish phantoms and creatures.
This week we ask, just how haunted is Cardiff Castle?
