In episode 115 we find ourselves in Lancashire at a building dating back to the early 16th century that was a location that a listener requested that I cover, and what a location it is. Considered by some to be one of the most haunted places in the county, and some would even consider it amongst the most active places in all of Britain. But is this truly the case, and who are the, in some cases very high profile ghosts that may be lurking here in the shadows? Let’s find out.

Join me, and Emma from the Weird Wiltshire Blog, and together let us ask, just how haunted is Rufford Old Hall?

Thanks to Emma once again for being such a fantastic polterguest, and don't worry Emma fans, she'll be back later this year. In the meantime be sure to check out her brilliant blog at weird-wiltshire.co.uk

Originally released for Patreons in June 2024 I hope you enjoy this very special episode.

In the 22st 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, starting with this month's episode which was originally released in October 2022, the second ever Patreon episode, which I have rewritten and re-recorded, and now includes almost 1 hour and 20 minutes of audio from that unforgetable night, so you can hear what happened, exactly as it happened.

Join my good friends John and Rich and I in the most haunted city on earth, as we stay overnight at a 17th century hotel. that has accommodated Hollywood stars and royalty. But would we manage to get a good night’s sleep?

Let us find out together as we ask the question, just how haunted is Middlethorpe Hall Hotel?

Episode 114 brings our trilogy of episodes from Edinburgh to a close. Last episode I told you all about the long, bloody, history of Edinburgh Castle, and this time out I am joined by Wayne from the Eerie Edinburgh podcast to discuss the spirits that are believed by some to be found here.

So join Wayne and I and let us ask, just how haunted is Edinburgh Castle?

Enormous thanks to Wayne for being so great across these episodes, and being so generous with his time. Be sure to check out his website at eerieedinburgh.com for links to his blogs, podcast, books and YouTube channel.

In the 36th Patreon bonus podcast you join me and a fellow Geordie podcaster on location at a theatre in Sunderland which, beneath the curtain calls and festival accolades, hides a tangled past of war, transformation, and in more recent times chilling paranormal encounters.

But what would Icy Sedgwick and I experience on this summer’s night when the applause has faded and the shadows take center stage? Would we heard whispers from the dressing room? Would we hear the loud footsteps and banging doors that have been heard from the upper floors? Or perhaps we might be fortunate enough to encounter Alice, the mysterious spirit child said to roam the halls.

Tonight, let us together ask the question, just how haunted is the Royalty Theatre?

Episode 113 sees us continue our time in Edinburgh and we go deep into the history of a structure that has seen it all. Built on volcanic rock, it’s been a royal residence, a military garrison, and a prison. It has held both noble prisoners and common criminals. It’s been a site of public hangings, military sieges, and brutal interrogations.

From medieval torture chambers to the execution of accused witches, this single building has seen more suffering than most cities do in a century.

Tonight, we take a closer look at the dark history of one of the most visited landmarks in the UK.

So join me and let us ask just how haunted is Edinburgh Castle?

Enormous thanks to Wayne. Be sure to check out his website at eerieedinburgh.com for links to his blogs, podcast, books and YouTube channel.

In the 35th Patreon bonus podcast you join me for the second part of a paranormal investigation deep within a vast, dark, forest. Our focus is the site of a former isolation hospital that held those with infectious diseases such as scarlet fever and tuberculosis.

We pick up our paranormal investigation as Tom, John and I enter a building that was once used to wash the bodies of the dead.

So tonight, let us once again ask the question, just how haunted is the Scaffold Hill Hospital?

In this bonus episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with the lovely Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux about their fantastic Three Ravens Podcast, and their brand new book, Three Ravens Folk Tales. We covered all sorts of topics, as you'll hear, including how you could win your very own signed copy of this glorious new 320-page hardback. Quite simply, it's a must-have for anyone seeking the perfect companion to explore the folklore of England's 39 historic counties. Packed with tales of ghosts, mermaids, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and more, it’s an enchanting—and surprisingly hefty—addition to any bookshelf. And it could almost certainly double as a murder weapon, should the circumstances ever require it.*
