When you’re getting ready to go to the airport, the last thing you need is an unexpected knock at the door. And a stranger who refuses to leave. There’s probably never really a good time to come face-to-face with the supernatural, but there are definitely worse times than others. This is a rare ghost story that manages to be both a reminder and a premonition – it reveals a frightening event from the past, and provides a terrifying warning of what might happen if one family can’t find a way to change.

Never upset a man with a great memory. You’ll never forget what happens next. This unforgettable episode of the podcast is another tale from the weird section of the archive. And it’s one that raises all sorts of questions about time. Is it all laid out before us? Can we change our fate? Or is what’s happening all some clever trick? If the man at the centre of all this has some supernatural gift, how come he’s in this situation, performing to a hostile audience? Or must he follow his path just like the rest of us, forced to face whatever horrible fate he knows awaits him? Patrons help to keep this English gothic podcast going.

“We had now some discussion as to the propriety and feasibility of awakening him; but we had little difficulty in agreeing that no good purpose would be served by so doing. It was evident that, so far, death (or what is usually termed death) had been arrested by the mesmeric process…” This classic gothic tale of mad science ended up being a bit of a challenge to complete for the podcast. Not just because of my 'American accent' (hope it work for you), but also because I got a sore throat soon after I did the recording, and my mic software started playing up. This made it difficult to finish and it did need extra mixing to help make all the bits of the audio match up. Fingers crossed this won't be very noticeable, and you'll be carried along by, what I think, is one of Poe's best and most underrated chillers. Patrons help to keep this English gothic podcast going.

It’s the season of good will. Everyone’s supposed to get along. And not get into arguments. Or settle old scores… Revenge is a dish best served sweet in this year’s ghost story for Christmas. There is something wonderful about the festive season, the way it helps us to renew connections with the people we care about. But connections can come with baggage. And when it’s family, love can often be tinged with hate. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and hope yours doesn’t become as strange and frightening as this one.

A crime has been committed. A guilty man has been identified. But will the punishment fit the crime? Many a ghost story revolves around acts of injustice. An act of evil is committed, and then a terrifying, chilling act of supernatural vengeance is enacted to right it. But justice is a slippery thing. We may revel in seeing an act of revenge be carried out, but are we forgetting to ask whether that revenge is appropriate? Did the victim really deserve what happened to them?

It’s a section of road that’s lethal to the local wildlife. Not the sort of place where you’d want to find yourself stranded, and alone. Welcome to season 4 of this ghost story podcast, and prepare yourself for a chilling walk into the woods… Our first new supernatural case may be modern in terms of its setting, but its themes go back generations. History has a habit of repeating itself. And it can be frightening to consider what the future might have in store for you.

"Yes, you did well to awake," he said. "That warning came from your subconscious self, which never wholly slumbers, and cried out to you of deadly danger. For two reasons, then, you must help me: one to save others, the second to save yourself." While M.R. James may lay claim to being the most influential of the classic ghost story writers, E.F. Benson is by far the most prolific. He penned more than 50 of what he called 'spook stories', and like James, his gothic tales also tend to centre on bachelors, who have the time to indulge their interests, usually to their detriment. Unlike James, however, his creepy tales can take place in society rather than in isolated churches or libraries. And he tends to place his tongue firmly in cheek.

"They do say, as on All Saints' Eve them two bodies sits up on their slabs, and gets off of them, and then walks down the aisle, in their marble" Many old ghost stories have the reputation of being cosy. Stories to tell around the fireside to provide listeners with a pleasant terror. One of the surprises about Edith Nesbit’s stories – an author, let’s not forget, famous for her children’s classics – is that they don’t hold back. Her stories aren’t guided by a Victorian sense of justice and morality, of righting wrongs and punishing hubris. Innocent people get hurt; happy couples are torn apart. Her stories are written not just to offer chills but to deliver a shocking blow at their climax. Patrons help to keep this UK horror podcast going.

It’s not her battle, but it doesn’t matter. A score needs to be settled. And the only way to get her life back is to fight. - One of the many things that fascinates me about these real-life horror stories is how people come to live with what has happened to them. Regardless of how chilling or traumatising an experience may have been, you’ve still got to go home afterwards, do the shopping, answer your emails. The extraordinary and the ordinary end up living side by side. Terrifying, life-changing events are tempered by the comfortable, frustrating sense that everything must inevitably, somehow go back to normal. Patrons help to keep this English gothic podcast going.

A ghost who cleans up after you isn’t so bad. But one that goes through your wife’s underwear, that’s a step too far... If your home is haunted, are you ever truly alone? If you share your living space with a spirit, what happens to your privacy? What can ghosts see? Supernatural stories often focus on the noises, the shocks, the scares. But what is it really like to live with something paranormal? What does it do to your senses, knowing that you’re living with something unexplained, that you can’t understand or predict. Can you ever really feel at home there? Can you ever truly feel safe? Patrons help to keep this British uncanny podcast going.
