MORE Of Bodmin Jail’s DISTURBING Paranormal Reports
2026/02/03
For nearly 150 years, Bodmin Jail was the kind of place you entered through those imposing gates, and prayed you’d one day leave again. Because not everyone did.
And perhaps this is the reason why the now-luxury hotel and visitor attraction is said to be haunted by former inmates, staff, and possibly… something far darker.

Episode 121: Bodmin Jail Part 1
2026/01/20
Bodmin jail has stood since 1779, and in that time, it saw almost 150 years of suffering before it closed its doors for good.
To this day, people who stay in the now-converted luxury hotel, or visit the attraction, will claim to experience things they can’t explain.
Could it be that the prisoners who never got to leave, are making their presence known?

Episode 120: Listener Ghost Stories Vol. 1
2026/01/13
These are three creepy haunted house stories, told by the people who actually lived there. Each ghost story comes from a real home, with firsthand accounts of experiences they still can’t fully explain.
From shadow figures seen lurking in basements, to unexplained noises echoing through otherwise empty houses, each of these stories centres around a home where something seemed unwilling to leave.
These are not creepypasta or fictional horror stories. Every story in this video comes directly from someone’s own experience. Make of them what you will.

Episode 119: Sandringham House Christmas Special
2025/12/16
Sandringham House is where the Royal Family spend Christmas every year, but underneath their festive traditions, there's a long history of tragedy, and unexplained encounters.
From kings who died within its walls to staff and even royals themselves reporting unexplained activity, could Sandringham possibly be one of the most haunted royal residences in Britain?

Episode 118: RMS Queen Mary Part 2
2025/12/01
The Queen Mary is believed by some to be haunted by up to 600 ghosts…
And while we have historical records for some, other backstories just don’t quite add up.
But from ghostly little girls playing hide and seek, to phantom crew members still doing their jobs long after their shift should have ended, there really does seem to be something paranormal happening on board the Queen Mary.

Episode 117: RMS Queen Mary Part 1
2025/11/25
Before the ghost tours and the paranormal reports, the RMS Queen Mary had already lived through a history so dramatic, that it's no wonder she's said to be haunted.
From a luxury ocean liner, to a WW2 troopship, this legendary ship accidentally sank a Royal Navy cruiser, survived a 92-foot rogue wave, and hosted world leaders, celebrities, and soldiers before her retirement to Long Beach, California.
If you only know of the ghost stories about the Queen Mary, you've only heard half the story!

Episode 116: Leap Castle
2025/11/18
Leap Castle in Ireland is referred to as one of the most haunted castles in the country, with countless ghost stories involving mysterious monks, vengeful ladies, and even a malevolent elemental.
And with a history said to be as dark and violent as this, you have to wonder… is the elemental still roaming the castle, feeding off everything that happens inside?

Episode 115: Highgate Cemetery
2025/11/11
Highgate Cemetery in London is one of the UK's most haunted graveyards, known not only for the famous people buried there, but also the ghosts said to haunt the burial ground.
But in the 1970s, Highgate became the centre of a media storm... because supposedly, there was a vampire on the loose.

Episode 114: Clophill Church Part 2
2025/10/31
The desecrated church in Clophill became a magnet for vandals, morbid thrill-seekers, and possibly even devil worshippers.
But decades later, strange lights, ghostly figures, and an oppressive energy still leave many explorers running for their car.
Are the ghost stories proof of something darker still haunting Clophill, or are they just a product of the satanic panic that overtook the area in the 60s?

Episode 113: Clophill Church Part 1
2025/10/21
In the quiet Bedfordshire village of Clophill sits the ruins of a desecrated church that looks unassuming nowadays, but it has a terrifying past.
In the 1960s and 70s, rumours of devil worship, black magic rituals, and grave desecration spiralled into a full-blown satanic panic that almost destroyed the village rector.
But was it all just bored teenagers and mindless vandals tormenting the village of Clophill, or was something truly evil going on here?
⚠️ This one is very dark, with some pretty graphic descriptions involving animals, as well as mentions of sexual assault and murder. If that’s not your thing, maybe give this one a miss. Look after yourselves 🖤

But are its hauntings just part of the legend of Denbigh Castle, or is something still lingering within its walls?
