Is Conwy the most haunted town in North Wales? In this suitably spooky episode, Chyaz explores some of the most fascinating ghost stories from her childhood holiday town, one of the places she credits with inspiring her love of the paranormal.

In December of 1872, a ship named the Mary Celeste was found adrift in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. When the salvage crew boarded the vessel, they discovered that it was in good shape, yet it was entirely deserted: a true ghost ship. But what on earth happened to the 10 souls who had been on board? And why had they abandoned the Mary Celste so far from shore?

Meet Helen Duncan, the Scottish psychic medium who became one of the most famous séance leaders in the nation…as well as the last person to be imprisoned in Britain under the Witchcraft Act of 1735. But if you thought this incident took place sometime in the 18th century, you’d be mistaken. Would you believe that Helen was actually locked up as recently as 1944? This is just one of the endless bizarre details in this incredibly strange tale, which spans two World Wars and countless scandals. Helen might be one of the most fascinating people covered on the podcast to date… Mental health resources UK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mind.org.uk/ ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Mental health resources Global:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://unitedgmh.org/support/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Where to find us!

The strange and mysterious death of Elisa Lam at the former Cecil Hotel in 2013 went from a local missing person case to a worldwide spectacle in a matter of days. When bizarre CCTV footage of some of Elisa’s movements in the hostel’s elevator went viral, internet sleuths quickly started forming increasingly outlandish theories as to what could have happened to her. But is the truth behind her tragic passing much easier to explain than the online posts would have you believe? In Part 2 of Episode 100, Chyaz explores the facts of this unusual case, addresses and debunks some of the most viral theories and highlights some of the exceptionally weird coincidences linked with the story.

Today, in Part 1 of this landmark 100th episode, Chyaz explores some of the most bizarre stories to emerge from the Hotel Cecil over the past century.

Was a supernatural being, resembling a spaceman, really caught on camera in the Solway Firth area of Cumbria in the 1960s? When firefighter Jim Templeton snapped a photo of his young daughter Elizabeth, he was shocked to spot a mysterious figure in the background of one of the pictures after they were developed. The story quickly caught the attention of paranormal enthusiasts from around the world, but the photo itself is only one part of this incredibly strange story. As it turns out, what happened AFTER the shutter closed only makes this story stranger and more intriguing.

The idea of a young child having vivid memories of a past life they claim to have led sounds like the premise of a supernatural movie. But did you know that a team at the University of Virginia have actually spent decades studying this very phenomenon? In this episode, Chyaz explores some of the most fascinating documented cases of children who say they have been on this earth before, as well as taking a look at the incredible work the university have undertaken. Could reincarnation really be at play here, or does the true explanation lie more in the ‘normal’ than the paranormal?

When 46 year old Urooj Khan, a dry cleaning shop owner based in the US city of Chicago, won $1,000,000 on a lottery scratchcard, he immediately began asking himself the question many of us will only ever daydream about: how should I spend my lottery winnings? But just the day after his winning cheque was posted to him, Urooj tragically passed away after collapsing at home. Was his death as suspicious as his post-mortem testing indicated? Or are there even more mysterious details lurking beneath this unsolved case than we even realise?

Some strange facts are not only utterly fascinating, but completely mess with your perception of time too. Whether it’s finding out that two things you thought belonged to entirely different eras actually briefly existed at the same time or discovering some additional context that totally changes your view of a major historical event or person, these revelations can be truly mind-boggling. In this episode, Chyaz shares some of her personal favourite examples of facts that warp the very idea of time, digging deeper into each tale to uncover just why they’re so endlessly interesting… Mental health resources UK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mind.org.uk/ ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Mental health resources Global:⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://unitedgmh.org/support/ ⁠⁠⁠ Where to find us!

Is the ghost of Anne Boleyn one of the most well-travelled in history? Or is her legend so powerful that it’s inspired the creation of more than just a few myths about her adventures in the paranormal realm?
