We all love a good story about a haunted house ... the scares ... the fear ... the paranoia. Often in such stories, one person in a relationship will see or experience things; whilst the other doesn't, leading to some very tense, awkward, and sometimes destructive moments. However, this Short Haunt is different – both people in this particular relationship do see things ... experience things ... witness things ... at the same time. A multiple witness case is a rare thing, but the following story sent in by Kelly is simply fascinating. So, we invite you to knock at the door … as we face George at No.4...

But during their incredibly dangerous journey, did these early explorers unknowingly invade the territory of a mysterious creature, one that now features in almost all Native American fokelore?Stories and sightings of this mythical beast continue...

The mist seemed to be swirling across the surface of the water at a measured deliberate pace; the woman watched in complete disbelief as it began to form into the shape of a human-like figure with wings.

Amelia's bedroom window gave her an ideal view of the large lawn and the border of trees, which stood between Coglin Grange and the old graveyard; as her eyes scanned the silhouettes and shapes cast by the moonlight, she noticed that two small bright lights had now appeared in the treeline. These lights were moving through the trees and steadily towards the lawn … but what were they? ... Eye shine from an...

Our bedroom was small and narrow, and the door was about six feet from the end of our queen-sized bed. The noise was thunderous, three knocks, rapid and loud. Bang, bang, bang!  ‘Did you hear that?’ I said, ‘Yep,’ Brian responded – his voice weird and bored. I had a moment of surprise and sat straight up in bed. Then it happened again. Bang, bang, bang! This time, I got up immediately and walked quickly to the door, figuring that one of the three kids, probably my seven-year-old daughter, was scared and needed me. I opened it and started to speak, then stoppe...

On the 15th of September 2024, I attended a ghost hunt at the location of this shows very first episode way back in June 2021. That location was of course, Dudley Castle. Since an early age, I’d had a healthy interest in castles, and knowing that one with such great historical significance was just a short drive away from not only where I grew up, but also where I live now, always seemed surreal. But throughout my early years, I never really thought of Dudley Castle as a place where ghosts or the spirits of the dead, would haunt…but how wron...

Episode 56 – Blitz Spirits It’s the morning after the night of 14th of November 1940, Coventry, England – a night seared and synonymous with terror. Walking through the rubble of Coventry Cathedral, stonemason Jack Forbes surveyed the landscape with utter disbelief. Fearing the shock was yet to catch up with him, he walked further forward – with ringing in his ears no doubt from the night before, it was there amid the smoke, the putrid air – bitter with shrapnel and burnt timber from fourteenth-century frames that used to so proudly hold Coventry city up – he saw something rather eerie and unexpected … This is episode 56 of...

Episode 55 – Beasts of the UK Eddie Bell was told about a series of tunnels which ran under the coke works, and it was these tunnels which Eddie felt could have been the ideal place for something like a large predatory animal to hide out in.

Presenting something which sits within the realms of the paranormal or supernatural is naturally going to be hard to present to the scientific community with any type of conviction. Hauntings and their activity are very hit and miss. Sometimes, amazingly reliable and solid witnesses will see something that challenges their beliefs ... whereas other times, a scientific investigation will yield absolutely nothing. So, how do we balance this scale? Can we make a judgement? Join us on this episode, as we aim to draw a verdict on this ever-intriguing case. This is episode 54 of the Haunted UK Podcast – and in this ep...

Short Haunt – Trust Your Instincts Premonitions can be a very frightening subject of the paranormal. We've all read about accounts of everyday people who have seemingly been able to tap into some sort of hidden dimension ... a dimension which seems to be able to feed them images, emotions and other unbelievable details of events which are about to unfold. But these stories just happen to other people ... don't they? Presented by Steven Holloway Produced by Pink Flamingo Home Studios

Episode 52 – Enfield Poltergeist (Part Two) ‘I was standing there looking at the house when all of a sudden, a couple of books came flying across and hit the window. It was so sudden. I heard the noise because it was so quiet, there was no traffic, and it made me jump. Then after a little while, I saw … Janet. I don’t know if there’s a bed underneath that window, but she was going up and down  … in a horizontal position, like as if someone had got hold of her legs and back and was throwing her up and down’.

Episode 52 – Enfield Poltergeist Part One ‘On Thursday 1st September 1977 at approximately 1 a.m., I was on duty in my capacity as a policewoman, when I received a radio message to 284 Green Street, Enfield. I went to this address where I found a number of people standing in the living room. I was told by the occupier of this house that strange things had been happening during the last few nights and that they believed that the house was haunted.’ (WPC Carolyn Heeps) Do you have an interesting story which you'd be willing to share with the show?

Short Haunts – Does Darkness Follow? Is it possible for a person to actually manifest paranormal activity into our dimension, giving spirits or entities the energy they require to break through that thin veil into the world that we share? This Short Haunt shines a light on listener Gary’s experiences – who no matter where he visits and lives, he always seems to encounter an entity. Do people like Gary possess an aura, a strange beacon, invisible to us, but shining as bright as a lighthouse beam to those in the paranormal realm ... and they see it, they flock to it, hoping...

Episode 51 – Don’t Scream Welcome back to Season 6 – and what an episode to start with. This is Libby’s story – when it was first sent to us here at the show, it made us drop everything with fear and urgency – this was a story we had to ell. This is a tale of a happy, loving family who acquired a new yet very old wardrobe – a wardrobe which would house more than just clothes …  but something ‘else’. And that ‘else’ was determined to create chaos, terror … ruining everything they held dear. This is episode 51 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and in this episode, we'll hear...

Our last 'From The Vault' episode before Season 6 launches on Friday 6th September. ‘Making sure their parents were asleep, the two 17-year-olds quietly left their homes with their tent, sleeping bags and other bits and pieces, and drove to a secluded spot. At around midnight, they'd found the perfect place to camp, so began pitching their tent and getting comfortable. It wasn't long after this that they both thought they heard something moving around in close proximity to their tent … They kept still and quiet, and continued to listen, but this was when the sounds of movement changed into the soun...

'Tis the season to be jolly.....and also the season to tell spooky stories, and the cases of the missing 411 are definitely creepy. In America, tens of thousands of people go to national parks to enjoy the scenery, wildlife and the awesome experience of being in the presence of amazing natural beauty. But over the course of over 100 years, many people have simply vanished into thin air whilst visiting these beautiful tourist attractions. Only a handful of bodies have ever been found, and those have some very disturbing and strange facts connected to their discoveries. So with the Christmas holidays...

Episode 50 - Part 4 - Always Remember to Close the Door and other Listeners Stories The dog went everywhere with us, but there was no way we could get her into the van. It was as if she knew something was very wrong. It was a terrifying journey to the rubbish tip, and once we arrived, we energetically began throwing the items into the trash – but as quickly as we were throwing them away, people began pulling the items back out. Even when we tried to warn them about what these things were capable of … we were ignored. Do you have an i...

Episode 50 – Part 2 - Experiences of a Witch and other Listeners' Stories Doors began opening and closing by themselves. Loud banging noises were coming from downstairs, as well as the sounds of footsteps from someone who was clearly walking around the rooms below her bedroom … but it was what happen next, that truly frightened her. As clear as any voice she'd ever heard, someone said the name ‘Azazel’ ... the name from her nightmares, then, as she continued to talk to the Ouija board, the planchette began to move, rapidly spelling out the same name. Julie completely freaked out and threw the planchet...

Episode 50 - Part 1 - The Sinister Flatmate and Other Listeners' Stories Worried she wasn't well, or something had happened to her, I got out of bed and ran down the stairs, calling her name and asking why she'd returned home so soon … only to find no one in the kitchen. The stairs went straight into the kitchen, and her room was next to it; so, I went in looking for her, but already the hairs on the back of my neck were standing on end … This is episode 50 – Part 1 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and it’s time to hear from you...

Episode 49 - Terrifying Attachments While we were all talking, a horrible feeling swept over me ... we had to go back in there. All of our camera equipment was still inside, and we were also key holders, which meant that we were responsible for the building while we were there. We had to lock up and make sure the building was secure. We all agreed to wait a while and then go back to get our things, lock up and leave. After an hour or so, we cautiously walked back to the room to grab our equipment. As we stepped inside...

Episode 48 – Tales from the Emergency Services Part Two ‘We let our control room know that we had hit a dead end – and that we would update them further when someone arrived. Not more than two minutes later, a tall slender gentleman, dressed in navy overalls, a tan undershirt and dirty unlaced boots slowly made his way up the stairs. Matt eagerly jumped up to introduce himself to – who seemed to be – the groundskeeper, as I updated our control room that someone had arrived to help …how wrong we were.’ This is episode 48 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and it's time to return to h...
