How Haunted? Podcast | Horrible Histories, Real Life Ghost Stories, and Paranormal Investigations from Some of the Most Haunted Places on Earth

In the 25th 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...

This time our we do something a little bit different, as you join me in the remote Northumbrian countryside at a pele tower dating from the 14th century. I join Spiritus Paranormal for a paranormal investigation, and I’m taking you along with me as not only will I tell you all about the history, the legends, and the ghost stories, but I’ll talk you through every aspect of our investigation on that...

This time we conclude our time in the Czech Republic by visiting a place nicknamed the bone church for obvious reasons as the skeletons of up to 70,000 human beings have been used to create all manner of decorative pieces for this church, understandably considered by many to be one of the scariest places on the planet. But are there any ghosts to be found here? Lets’ ask together, just how haunted...

In the 24th Patreon bonus podcast you join me at a magnificent building we visited back in episode 21 of the podcast, but 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...

Originally released for Patreon supporters in September 2023 I hope you enjoy this very special episode.   In the 13th Patreon bonus podcast I make the short 20 minute drive to the village of Springwell in Sunderland to investigate Bowes Railway Museum.   But what would happen when my team and I joined an organised investigation to see what would happen in this former railway once darkness fell? I...

Let us continue our time in the Czech Republic and visit a former prison in the heart of the country’s capital, Prague. This tower is named for it’s first, and most famous, inmate, a man who some believe never left and remains here in death. What will the Director for the Department of Tourism have to tell me when I speak with him about the ghosts of this structure within the Prague Castle complex...

We begin a month of episodes from the Czech Republic, starting at a 13th century castle a little less than 50 miles from Prague, which has been the subject of debate since it was constructed as no one truly understands its purpose. Could this fortress actually be the last line of defense against nightmarish creatures from the depths of hell? Lets’ find out together, as we ask how haunted is Houska...

These were four absolutely incredible locations, and I have covered all four investigations - minus the audio from that night...

This time you join me on location in the wild, remote, Northumberland countryside, and we’re on a monster hunt as I search for an eight-foot-tall creature covered in thick hair, with glowing eyes, who causes the ground to shake whenever it is present. In early 2002 the nation's imagination was captured by the notion that this country park could be home to a bigfoot-type creature. Of course the are...

You join me for a third, and final time, at a 4600 year old site, which contains the largest megalithic stone circle in the world. This time we take a look at one of the largest, and most impressive Neolithic burial sites in Britain. We don’t know how many early humans were buried here, but we do know that this place appears to be haunted. So, lets’ ask together one more time, just how haunted is...

Originally released for Patreons in August 2023 I hope you enjoy this very special episode. A castle built in the 13th century which now operates as a four star hotel is home to all manner of things that go bump in the night. In the Robert the Bruce room people see a figure walking through their room on a spiral staircase which no longer exists, and a shadowy figure which walks through the wall in...

This time you join me, once again, at one of the best known prehistoric sites in Britain, dating back around 4600 years, and containing the largest megalithic stone circle in the world. So large in fact, that today is has a village within it. Emma from the Weird Wiltshire blog joins me once again, so lets’ ask together once more, just how haunted is Avebury? Huge thank you to Emma for joining me,...

This time you join me at one of the best known prehistoric sites in Britain, containing the largest megalithic stone circle in the world. This location is as mysterious, as it is historic, and with the summer solstice on the horizon, let’s deep dive into this location, and seek to find the ghosts that lurk here.

Originally released for Patreons in July 2023 I hope you enjoy this very special episode. A tourist attraction in the heart of one of the scariest cities anywhere on earth, offering frightening fun to families who enjoy ghoulish and gory stories told by actors made up as characters from this city’s dark past. When the public have gone home, and this intentionally creepy building is left empty and...

This time we return to Derby Gaol, a site of murder, suicide, executions, disease, suffering and despair. I continue by conversation with Richard Felix, and he tells me of an unbelievable occurrence he had at Halloween in front of a group of onlookers. This remarkable display of poltergeist activity was actually filmed by CCTV as well as one of those in attendance, so you can actually see it for y...

In the 21st Patreon bonus podcast you join me once again in the incredible city of York, and this time we spend a night at the original Treasurer’s House. A building dating back to 1080, built on the site of a roman fort. But what would happen when my team and I stepped foot inside this award-winning hotel after dark, and attempted to make contact with the ghosts that stalk the corridors and bedro...

This time out you join me in the city of Derby which is apparently the best place in the world to drink real ale, it’s the home of Rolls Royce, as well, of course, this episode’s location. Dating back to 1756 this place witnessed the very worst of humanity, and as a result it believed to be home to all manner of things that go bump in the night. Lets’ ask together, as I’m joined by the Richard Fel...

This time you join me in the remote Northumberland countryside, and I literally mean join me, as I recorded this episode on location at the site of the bloodiest battle in the history of England. This loss of life, a little over 500 years ago, appears to have left its mark on this land, as the sights and sounds of battle, and of death, are experienced here all too often. Let's ask together just ho...

In the 20th Patreon bonus podcast you join me on location at a 14th century pele tower in Northumberland, constructed during uncertain times when England was at war with Scotland, and being so close to the border required this tower to be fortified. But what would happen when, all alone, I stepped foot inside this tower? Would I hear the footsteps and voices heard here all too often, or perhaps I...

Originally released for Patreons in June 2023 I hope you enjoy this very special episode. A grand estate built around a house built in 1693, and destroyed by fire in 1977 is said to be the haunt of shadowy figures belonging to those who knew the building so well in life. The stable block, added in 1811, is one of the more active areas. Why this is the case we’ll likely never know. Phantom lights f...

This time you join me for the final part of our trilogy of episodes situated in Ireland, as we visit a further ten locations in this wonderfully scary county, with stops along our ghost trail including a fort, a castle, a stone circle, a hotel, a cathedral, and even a petrol station. Let's ask together for the third, and final time, just how haunted is County Cork? The service station videos I ref...

This time out you join me for part two of our trilogy of episodes situated in Ireland, this time we visit a further twelve locations in this most picturesque, yet terrifying, of counties, with stops along our ghost trail including a school, an asylum, a gaol, and if you need a pint of Guiness, or something stronger, to calm your nerves you’ll be pleased to hear we’re stopping at plenty of pubs alo...

In the 19th Patreon bonus podcast you join me as I investigate a building dating from 1825, which is today the largest independent library outside of London. This was the first public building lit by an electric lightbulb and in 1830 a mummy from Egypt was unwrapped right here. But what would happen when, joined by fellow Geordie podcaster, Icy Sedgwick, we attended a fundraising ghost hunt at thi...

Originally released for Patreons in May 2023 I hope you enjoy this very special episode. A popular holiday park built around a 13th century castle. This is not your typical location for a paranormal investigation, a holiday park full of luxury caravans and holiday makers spending their weekends boating on the lake, or playing on the arcades and fruit machines. What they’re all blissfully unaware o...
