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

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 silence, could there be more to...

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 yourself, as you’ll hear.

Join me an...

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 bedrooms of this grade I listed ...

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 Felix, who owns this historic landmark...

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 how haunted is Flodden Field?

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 would be unfortunate enough...

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 float around the house, and whis...

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 refer to at the first location in this...

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 along our route.

Lets’ ask together, o...

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 this historic location in our ...

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 of however is the darker side of t...

This time out we begin an epic trilogy of episodes in which we’ll head to Ireland and I will lead you across a county as haunted as it is beautiful, and in total we will visit no fewer than 26 places of considerable interest, with locations as varied as castles, an asylum, pubs, churches and cathedrals, a school, and even a river and a lake. And beware as there may well be ghosts, ghouls, poltergeists, and monsters at every turn. S...

This time out I answer questions from listeners, including:

• Do I get scared on investigations?
• What location or story first piqued my interest in the pararnormal?
• What is my favourite episode so far, and what do I have lined up in the future?

In the 18th Patreon bonus podcast we return once more to York, and in particular to a hotel in the shadow of York Minster which was originally built between 1864 and 1865 as three separate dwellings for the Dean of York Minster, to house the Clergy.

But what would happen when my team and I stepped foot inside this hotel, which has been labelled the most haunted in York by some, considering that only two weeks before our inv...

This time we head to the theatre where we may very well encounter a plethora of ghosts including that of a Carry On icon who died on stage, a man killed by a cannon ball, and two women who sadly took their own lives.

Join me as we return to me native north east, and let’s ask just how haunted are the theatres of Tyne & Wear?

This time we head inside the oldest prison in the world. For almost four centuries this place of incarceration in Somerset witnessed disease, violence, and executions. This has created a breeding ground for the spooks and specters that remain here to this day, as it is now a tourist attraction that caters for those with an interest in the paranormal.

Let’s step foot inside this 17th century house of correction together as we ask ju...

This time we continue to delve into the scary world of haunted dolls, as this week includes arguably the most famous haunted doll of them all, possibly even better known than Annabelle, a whole host of dolls resident to the UK, some dolls based on popular children’s television and film characters, and dolls bought from eBay.

Let’s find out all about these seemingly harmless toys as we ask once again just how haunted are these dolls...
