The Ghoul Club

Isn't it great when you're left at home alone and can do whatever you want? Why not put on that horror video game that your friends have been begging you to try. Actually, maybe it's best not to, since apparently it's going to summon something unpleasant to shatter your alone time into a million pieces. Instead, why don't you go and stay with your grandma for the evening?...

What goes bump in the night? Well, hopefully it's your bed as you and a ghost have the most intense night of passion you've ever experienced. And that's the whole vibe of this episode as we step a little further into the smutty world of ghost sex. First, we discuss one woman's opportunity to passionately reconnect with her late husband; then we go on to discuss a woman whose op...

It's another windy, rainy night by the campfire for us. But there's no better place to tell some spooky stories! That's why so many ghost story podcasts have some kind of 'campfire' name or variation—we may not be the most original, but we have some killer stories this episode. First, we discuss whether ghosts really love chairs as much as they seem to (and why!) and then...

The first episode of The Ghoul Club in 2023. We're back, baby! What an amazing time we've had so far—and we're going to see the year out with a couple of our favourite spooky, scary stories. We talk about the 1992 BBC Halloween Special, Ghostwatch, and then reopen one of our bitesize episodes to comb over the story in greater detail. We also discuss wasting ketchup, the sting of bet...

The Ghoul Club is back for more in 2023! Join us around the fire for some dark and haunting tales. What would you prefer: A floating shadowy silhouette or an unidentifiable ghostly voice? Don't worry, we've got both. And we're also helping someone tap into the potential of "Sex Magic" in this episode's Paranormal Problem. Make yourself comfortable, toast a marshmallow...

Telling a scary ghost story on Christmas Eve is an old tradition that isn't as fashionable as it used to be. That's why we're attempting to revive the old tradition with "Daphne Slits 2 Arrival at Cummington Manor: The Return of Maud." We know you have questions. Is there a "Daphne Slits 1"? No. Has it been inspired by romance novels? Yes, heavily. Will I be scar...

It's almost Christmas, so here's a festively themed episode. We start off during Christmas of that good old year 1929, when a terrible tragedy struck a small town. Then we take a trip to Canaan, Vermont, where the Cohen family were haunted every Christmas by a mysterious returning spirit. We also discuss having a "horrorsome" Christmas, the difference between "Last Christm...

Welcome back to the campfire. We're keeping it brief today with a couple of short but memorable listener stories. Has a ghost ever interrupted you during sex? Have you ever found a demonic children's book that then deleted itself from existence? Probably not, unless you're the two listeners who wrote into us this week. And in this episode's Paranormal Problem, we help someone s...

We're off to London today, at the suggestion of one of our listeners, to tell you some spooky tales from The Big Smoke. We begin with the story of a succulent scholar who summons the demonic Black Dog of Newgate, then we take one step closer to hell and visit the ghosts of the London Underground. We also talk cow anuses, feeling like a million pounds, and casual sex. Visit us in the clubhouse...

Welcome to Campfire Ghouls! We're taking a few tentative steps out of the clubhouse and into the surrounding woodland so that we can set up a campfire and tell some ghost stories and tales of creepy encounters. We're also introducing a new (parody) segment called Paranormal Problems, where we play agony aunts to some spooky, sexy, spectral situations. If you would like to submit a ghost...

Ever been ghosted by a spirit on a Ouija board? We have. One minute it's all fun and games, then it becomes extremely steamy, and then they're gone without so much as a goodbye. But it's the Ouija board that brings us to this episode, which is all about terrifying brushes with the mystic oracle. We kick things off with Zozo, the Ouija Board Demon, and the frightening games he plays;...

Pizza, pasta, gelato, mozzarella, calzone... Italy is known for amazing foods. Also, is Super Mario considered to be more Italian or Japanese? Sorry, we're getting side tracked. In this episode, we talk about Italian ghosts—from the tragic story of Beatrice Cenci to the dark history of Poveglia Island. There are a lot of dark things to discuss. We also talk about Italian accents, the right ci...

You take the blue pill: the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill: you stay in the Clubhouse and we show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. And by "rabbit-hole", we obviously mean our sex chimneys. But today we're talking about glitches in the simulation, or breaks in reality that make you question the world we're li...

History is full of terrifying vampires: Dracula, Elizabeth Bathory, Nosferatu, Edward Cullen, The Count from Sesame Street. Even more recently it's been "morbin' time" everywhere you look. But we're talking about some vampires that are a little more… dare we say "ghoulish"?  We start off with a story about a vampiric haunting at Highgate Cemetery in London, and t...

Welcome to The Ghoul Club Hotel. We have an indefinable number of rooms, some colourful live-in guests, and plenty of Demon Juice to go around. We'll sit you down and tell you all about The Witchery by the Castle in Edinburgh, followed by the horrors of The Langham Hotel in London. We also discuss inventive ways to say that you've forgotten something, the meaning of the phrase "open...

Things get sexy, embarrassing, and downright weird in the clubhouse during our second sleepover. We were truly honoured to be joined by the beyond-charming host of Real Life Ghost Stories, Emma, who wasn't afraid to get down and dirty with us. We also talk about ghosts, obviously! And our conversation was full of twists, turns, and eroticism. We just hope Emma didn't leave unsatisfied… D...

Femme fatales, women who kill, white ladies, killer queens. We're talking about women who are aware enough of their feminine wiles to commit atrocious acts of violence this week—so, basically, we're just talking about Jennie. But we do also talk about the Granny Ripper, which is just as wild and ridiculous as it sounds, and then about the curse of La Sayona, who may be our sexiest ghoul...

Happy Halloween! We've got something extra special for you today. Together, we were given the incredible chance to visit a small village in Devon and stay at Tavener House. These days, it's a small, beautiful, unassuming manor house—but it comes with a rich, dark history and more than its fair share of ghosts. We'll tell you all about the tragedies that have befallen this place and...

HALLOWEEN IS UPON US! Honestly, the ghosts and demons that live in our clubhouse have been acting wild—juices everywhere. And, in the spirit of this time of year, our theme this week is Halloween itself!! We talk about a girly sleepover in the 90s in which a game of The Three Mirrors went horribly wrong, then we move on to a brief story about candy and murder, before finishing up with The Man Who...

It's the spookiest time of year. The veil between our world and The Further grows ever-thinner. And the ghosts that haunt our houses are so close they can almost reach out and touch us. In honour of this F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S time of year, we're taking a step into one of the most classic ghostly themes: haunted houses. We start with the bizarre stories and unusual hauntings of the S.K. Pierce...

It's the first ever movie night in The Ghoul Club and we've got something a little bit different for you. We're celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of The Ring . It might be a remake of a Japanese film based on a Japanese novel, but it achieved the impossible by surpassing its predecessors and has become one of the most easily recognisable horror films of all time. Yes,...

Do you wanna play a game? Well, we love a bit of Scrabble or Uno or Monopoly... but that's not the kind of games we're talking about in the clubhouse this week. We start off with The Midnight Game, in which you summon an evil entity to play Hide and Seek with, and then we go on to talk about The Corner Game, in which an empty room with four corners can become a truly terrifying place. We...

Ee-eye, ee-eye-oh no! Things are getting pretty spooky down on the farm in this episode. Old MacDonald may not have any cows or pigs, but he certainly has a sex addiction and a demon living in his attic. But we're not talking about that in this episode, we're talking about Burnt House Farm and the twisty-turny events surrounding it, followed by a story about Australia's most haunted...

Well, we're finally hosting sleepovers in the clubhouse, and we're so excited to share the shenanigans with you! Our first ever guest is artist, illustrator, and ceramicist Scotty Gillespie. We discuss a couple of Scotty's paranormal experiences, ask them about their favourite spooky movie and video game, and ask the question on everybody's lips: Have you had—and, if not, would...

Have you ever had the itch to discover what dark secrets might lie behind the town you live in? Well, we certainly have. And that's what led us to this week's theme. We start off with Kyle in Falmouth, where we learn about the ghosts of Pendennis Castle; then we go to Dawlish (sort of) with Jennie and learn about the ghosts of Powderham Castle. We also debate Henry VIII's eligibilit...
