How Haunted? Podcast | Horrible Histories, Real Life Ghost Stories, and Paranormal Investigations from Some of the Most Haunted Places on Earth

Originally released for Patreons in June 2023 I hope you enjoy this very special episode.

A grand estate built around a house built in 1693, and destroyed by fire in 1977 is said to be the haunt of shadowy figures belonging to those who knew the building so well in life. The stable block, added in 1811, is one of the more active areas. Why this is the case we’ll likely never know.

Phantom lights float around the house, and whis...

This time you join me for the final part of our trilogy of episodes situated in Ireland, as we visit a further ten locations in this wonderfully scary county, with stops along our ghost trail including a fort, a castle, a stone circle, a hotel, a cathedral, and even a petrol station.

Let's ask together for the third, and final time, just how haunted is County Cork?

The service station videos I refer to at the first location in this...

This time out you join me for part two of our trilogy of episodes situated in Ireland, this time we visit a further twelve locations in this most picturesque, yet terrifying, of counties, with stops along our ghost trail including a school, an asylum, a gaol, and if you need a pint of Guiness, or something stronger, to calm your nerves you’ll be pleased to hear we’re stopping at plenty of pubs along our route.

Lets’ ask together, o...

In the 19th Patreon bonus podcast you join me as I investigate a building dating from 1825, which is today the largest independent library outside of London. This was the first public building lit by an electric lightbulb and in 1830 a mummy from Egypt was unwrapped right here.

But what would happen when, joined by fellow Geordie podcaster, Icy Sedgwick, we attended a fundraising ghost hunt at this historic location in our ...

A popular holiday park built around a 13th century castle. This is not your typical location for a paranormal investigation, a holiday park full of luxury caravans and holiday makers spending their weekends boating on the lake, or playing on the arcades and fruit machines. What they’re all blissfully unaware of however is the darker side of t...

This time out we begin an epic trilogy of episodes in which we’ll head to Ireland and I will lead you across a county as haunted as it is beautiful, and in total we will visit no fewer than 26 places of considerable interest, with locations as varied as castles, an asylum, pubs, churches and cathedrals, a school, and even a river and a lake. And beware as there may well be ghosts, ghouls, poltergeists, and monsters at every turn. S...

This time out I answer questions from listeners, including:

• Do I get scared on investigations?
• What location or story first piqued my interest in the pararnormal?
• What is my favourite episode so far, and what do I have lined up in the future?

In the 18th Patreon bonus podcast we return once more to York, and in particular to a hotel in the shadow of York Minster which was originally built between 1864 and 1865 as three separate dwellings for the Dean of York Minster, to house the Clergy.

But what would happen when my team and I stepped foot inside this hotel, which has been labelled the most haunted in York by some, considering that only two weeks before our inv...

This time we head to the theatre where we may very well encounter a plethora of ghosts including that of a Carry On icon who died on stage, a man killed by a cannon ball, and two women who sadly took their own lives.

Join me as we return to me native north east, and let’s ask just how haunted are the theatres of Tyne & Wear?

This time we head inside the oldest prison in the world. For almost four centuries this place of incarceration in Somerset witnessed disease, violence, and executions. This has created a breeding ground for the spooks and specters that remain here to this day, as it is now a tourist attraction that caters for those with an interest in the paranormal.

Let’s step foot inside this 17th century house of correction together as we ask ju...

This time we continue to delve into the scary world of haunted dolls, as this week includes arguably the most famous haunted doll of them all, possibly even better known than Annabelle, a whole host of dolls resident to the UK, some dolls based on popular children’s television and film characters, and dolls bought from eBay.

Let’s find out all about these seemingly harmless toys as we ask once again just how haunted are these dolls...

This time we begin a two-part special in which we look at the favourite toy of many children, all over the globe, a delightful companion that provides many years of companionship in those early innocent years of life. However when we grow older their fixed grin and staring vacant eyes of a child’s doll can be the stuff of nightmares. Films such as Child’s Play and the Conjuring have added to the fear that many people have when it c...

Originally released for Patreons in April I hope you enjoy this very special episode.

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 t...

The second annual Nightmare Before Christmas special is upon us, and in this special episode I will read real ghost stories from listeners. Christmas is intrinsically linked with the telling of ghost stories, so it seems like the perfect time to tell these stories of timeslips, premonitions, gifts from beyond the grave, and frightening encounters with the dead.

There’ll also be polterguests dropping by, in the form of authors, podc...

Join me as I head into the remote Northumberland countryside, and to former hunting lodge built in 1775 that stands in the largest man-made woodland in England at 250 square miles, famed for its dark skies.

But what would happen when my team and I stepped foot inside this 18th century castle? 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 itse...

This time I’m joined by Emma from the Weird Wiltshire blog as we continue to explore the mysteries of an unfinished mansion in Gloucestershire. We discuss why it was never finished, we attempt to separate fact from fiction when it comes to some of the darker tales surrounding the building, and Emma will tell us some more of the grand house’s ghost stories.

This week we ask once again, how haunted is Woodchester Mansion.

Thanks to E...
