  • Ep 108 - Bramshill House
    May 30 2025

    In episode 108 we head to a mansion in Hampshire built in the early 17th century. I will tell you all about this building which was the home of aristocracy, and kings and queens for almost 400 years, but now stands silent, empty and abandoned whilst currently up to sale.

    This grand house is infamous as it is believed to be haunted by at least 14 separate specters.

    Let me tell you introduce you to all of them, as you join me in asking, just how haunted is Bramshill House?

  • May Patreon Teaser - Berwick-upon-Tweed After Dark
    May 23 2025

    In the 33rd Patreon bonus podcast I’m back in the Scottish borders, spending some time in the most northerly English town. This is a place that I have a huge fondness for, so much so, that this is a place I took you on a ghost walk last Halloween. You join me spending time here on a bit of a break, but despite this supposedly being a bit of rest and relaxation I couldn’t resist grabbing my voice recorder and a torch and heading off to some of the spookier parts of this historic town after dark. Especially considering that listeners have made me aware of places here that I didn't even know are said to be haunted.

    So join me and let us ask, together, just how haunted is Berwick-upon-Tweed?

  • Ep 107 - Glasgow Necropolis
    May 16 2025

    In episode 107 I head north of the border to a stunning cemetery in Scotland’s largest city. This city of the dead overlooks the city of the living, and its most prominent monument celebrates it’s 200th birthday this year, predating the first burial here.

    With 50,000 of the city’s dead buried here, it comes as no surprise that this place has long been rumoured to be haunted, but the best known supernatural entity said to lurk here in the darkness, is a vampire. A vampire which was so feared in the 1950s that school children descended on the graveyard with all manner of weapons, hell bent on putting an end to the monster.

    Let me tell you all about it, as you join me in asking, just how haunted is the Glasgow Necropolis?

I like the history, the haunting stories and the reasons they couldn't be hauntings as well as them possibly being hauntings. I also like that they are a good length, I hate when a podcast ends after 20 mins. I am very much enjoying this series.
