The Ghoul Club

We're quite literally standing on Autumn's doorstep, which means Spooky Season is well and truly upon us. To celebrate the arrival of our favourite time of year, we're embracing Spooky Season with some Spooky Scary Skeletons that will hopefully send some shivers down your spine. We start this week with a story about a washed-up cabaret singer with some skeletons in her closet, and t...

Aren't children just the worst? Sorry, we mean: adorable. Well, not the ones that we're talking about this week as we delve into some creepy stories centred entirely around children. We start with the story of a family whose children are haunted by a naughty boy, and then move on to the disturbing story of Retta McCabe, one of the youngest murderesses in history. We also revisit the topi...

Have you ever looked at your bureau and wondered if it harbours an evil spirit? Or felt like there was something demonic watching you from inside your favourite chiffonier? Well, then this episode is for you because we're talking about haunted and/or cursed pieces of furniture! We start off with a green-eyed flame-haloed old woman who terrifies children in their bunkbeds, and then move on to...

"Sortes qui facit." — You have sealed your fate. Have you ever felt like you weren't alone in an otherwise empty room? As if unseen eyes were watching you? Or a chill on the back of your neck? Yeah, that was probably a demon. And for our unlucky 13th episode, we're taking a deep plunge into hell and going all demonic. We start with a haunting in Springfield, Louisiana, where a...

Even ghosts get papped, you know! That's right—not even death can save you from the prying lens of a paparazzo's camera. And that's why, this week, we're looking into curious cases of ghosts caught on camera. We start with an unexpected photobomb in an ultrasound, then move on to a photo of a jealous ghost who just wanted to be included; and we finish with an unwanted visitor i...

Have you heard the one about Bloody Mary? Or the one about the licked hand? Maybe the one about Slender Man?  Well, we may not be talking about those urban legends this week, but we've still got some juicy ones for you to sink your razor-sharp teeth into. We start with the one about the breakdown on a foggy country road, and then move on to the one about the liver. But we're not done yet...

We're asking who, what, where, when, and why this week in the clubhouse! That's right, we've stepped away from the ghostly this week to tackle another ghoulish topic... mysterious unexplained and/or unsolved deaths. Get your skin crawling with the story of the Atlas Vampire before learning about a strange toilet-related fatality in the village of Miyakoji. We cap things off with the...

We sense a tall, dark, handsome stranger in your future... or maybe that's just the ghost that lives in the clubhouse? Either way, we're going totally psychic this week. We kick things off with a visit to Boise, Idaho in 1995 and a haunted house with a dark secret, and then we talk about psychic Nancy Weber's efforts to help police track down a serial killer. We also discuss whether...

We're going on a field trip away from the clubhouse today! Hop on a plane with us as we take you to a couple of destinations outside of our comfort zone. We're kicking off our foreign tales today with a look at Normandy's Abbaye de Mortemer and the ghosts that still roam its grounds, and then we're traveling all the way to Japan to talk about an ancient myth and some urban lege...

Don't step on any of the clubhouse's many wayward rusty nails, or we'll have to take you to hospital—and, as we're discovering this week, hospitals can be some of the most haunted places around! We talk about spectral appearances at Barnes Hospital, a haunted lift at St Bartholomew's Hospital, and some chilling tales from Cardiff Royal Infirmary. We also discuss splattered...

The clubhouse is open yet again! And this week we're looking into cases of being murdered by a ghost. We start with the cursed case of Carl Pruitt and the chain of deaths he left in his wake, and then we dive into The Hole in Alcatraz to find out about a deadly encounter with "The Thing". We also discuss ghost poop, Arkansas accents, and the lengths one might go to for a beautiful v...

Welcome back, club members! We've talked a lot about ghosts from the past so far, but not many ghosts in the present. So, we're dragging our butts into the 21st century this week to tell a couple of contemporary ghost stories. We start with the House of 200 Demons in Gary, Indiana before moving on to the ghosts of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. We also talk about supernatural in...

Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble. That's right, we're getting wicked and witchy in the clubhouse this week! We start off with the Pendle Witches; a rivalry between two witching families, and then move on to The Cage; a medieval prison for witches that became one of the most haunted houses in Britain. We also discuss sexual laxity, dem dykes, and naughty beas...

Let's get this weekly meeting of The Ghoul Club started! The conclusion of our spooky tour of England's South West brings us to the county of Somerset. We start with the disturbing tale of the Yatton Demon before moving on to a (sexy) ghostly hitchhiker, and then finish with a sinister murder plot at Farleigh Hungerford Castle. We also discuss gangbangs, divine slaps, and baking your dea...

Welcome back to the clubhouse! If you're new here: we love spooky stuff. And in this episode, we're talking about hauntings in our home county of Devon. Starting with a pair of sexy hairy hands that are out to kill you, and then moving on to the twisted tale of Chambercombe Manor. We also talk about the Devil's digits, topless massages and corpse robbery; come on in and take a liste...

Welcome to the Ghoul Club! In our first ever episode, we're talking about Cornish ghosts—from the haunted ruins of Kennall Vale's gunpowder factory, to the tragic spirits of Bodmin Jail. We also discuss body-positivity, dogs and child murder; we can't wait for you to join us. Come in to the clubhouse ; you're our newest member. Please send your spooky stories to theghoulclubpod...
