Welcome dear listeners, to our series of ‘Short Haunts’ – a shot of scary ... just for you. So, grab a hot chocolate, maybe a tea, maybe something stronger … because this is Haunted UK Podcast’s 'Short Haunts – It’s Not Just a Board Game.’

Stories of interactions with Ouija boards are a fascinating topic of the paranormal. The use of these boards as a method of talking to spirits continues to divide opinion amongst sceptics and believers alike – yet their attraction to many still holds strong. A good deal of people will use the Ouija board and have little to no strange experiences at all, but for others … it’s a whole different story – this is one of them, join us as our listener warns us It’s Not Just a Board Game.

‘One night, in the early hours of the morning, I was suddenly awoken – and believe me I was wide awake – with the realisation that ‘something’ was standing in the doorway of my bedroom. I don't know how I knew this … but I did. If I could describe it better: it was human but much more animal-like … A kind of low-level creature. And obviously, the feeling I got from this thing was not friendly or pleasant …

Welcome dear listeners, to our series of ‘Short Haunts’ – a shot of scary ... just for you. So, grab a hot chocolate, maybe a tea, maybe something stronger … because this is Haunted UK Podcast’s 'Short Haunts – The Room with the Nursery Rhyme Wallpaper’.

Sometimes we get a Short Haunt which just can’t wait, it needs to be heard … this was undoubtedly one of them. When Jackie moved into a 1940s’ home – with a wallpaper to match in the nursery, things felt awry from the start and as she began to look around and delve deeper… she started to wonder if there was a mystery in The Room with the Nursery Rhyme Wallpaper.
