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

Let's begin a journey beneath the streets of England’s capital city and explore the world’s oldest underground railway. A railway system said to be home to the largest concentration of ghosts anywhere in Britain, and when you consider the thousands of accidental deaths and suicides that have occurred here in the 160 years since it first opened, as well as the cemeteries, plague pits, and crypts disturbed during the construction of ...

Let's head to the pub for a few stiff drinks to calm our nerves as we will take a look at an assortment of terrifying taverns, unnerving inns, and poltergeist-infested public houses.

This week we ask just how haunted are the pubs of Tyne and Wear?

Let us head to the south east of England, and in particular to a fortification that has defended the coastline for almost 1000 years. It has witnessed all manner of horrors and as a result is believed to be one of the most haunted castles in Britain. The ghost of a murdered drummer boy is still heard playing his drums on the battlements. The sights and sounds of World War 2 are heard in the secret tunnels that run beneath the castl...

With the 5th of November coming this weekend, we are going to look at the short life of a man who has become immortalised in British history for a failed plot in 1605, which has led to the annual celebration of bonfire night, or Guy Fawke’s Night.

We will look at the life of Guy Fawkes and those places that he is said to haunt in death over 400 years after he was executed.

This week, with the unmistakable smell of bonfires and spen...

Happy Halloween!

Originally released for Patreons in March I hope you enjoy this very special episode.

Constructed upon a street with Roman origins, number 35 Stonegate was built in 1482 and has a fascinating history having been a publishing house, a psychic museum, a haunted house offering self-led tours and overnight paranormal investigations, and now it’s a clothes shop. Believed to be home to 14 spirits, this is one of the mo...

The scariest time of the year is here, when darkness reigns and the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. Tonight, as the moon casts an eerie glow on the world below, and the wind whispers ancient secrets, we venture into a realm where the extraordinary becomes ordinary, and the mundane fades away. But beware, dear listener, as the subject of this year’s Halloween special is most definitely not the faint of heart.

For tonight we ...

Join me this Halloween, as my team I step foot inside an ancient inn, labelled by many as the most haunted in Britain. We would have a night that none of us would ever forget.

But just what happened when my team and I once again headed to York, the most haunted city in the world, and dared to ask just how haunted is the Golden Fleece?

This week we find ourselves in a delightful village with idyllic cottages at every turn, and timber-framed cosy pubs with roaring open fires. A village that, in stark contrast, may to be one of the most haunted in England and we will look at no fewer than 28 reported hauntings as together, we will take to these ancient streets and go in search of those things that go bump in the night.

On the night of the 26th August 2023 I made the short 20 minute drive to the village of Springwell in Sunderland to investigate Bowes Railway Museum.

But what happened when my team and I joined an organised investigation to conduct a ghost hunt in this former railway once darkness fell? In this episode not only will I tell you all about the location and our investigation, but you’ll hear actual audio from the night itself.

This week we return to my native north east and explore a Roman fort dating from the 2nd century where a skeletal Roman warrior still stands on guard, a transport museum where a navy aircraft shudders and shakes for seemingly no reason, a museum where an Egyptian mummy roams after dark, and an old railway where former staff members remain in death.

This week we ask, just how haunted are the museums of Tyne & Wear?

Let's head to Wales and step inside a fortress standing on a site with almost 2000 years occupation. This castle was built in the late 11th century in the centre of this capital city which was grown around it. Today it is a breathtaking place to visit, but is also the haunt of all manner of nightmarish phantoms and creatures.

This time out we head into the heart of a country which has had its history and landscaped shaped by the effect of wars, skirmishes, bloodshed, torture, suffering and death. And its the castles that are our focus, those ancient battle-scarred fortresses that were pivotal to the defence of England’s most northerly county.

In the first of a two-part special let us ask just how haunted are the castle of Northumberland?

This time out we're heading back to Ireland, and to a castle that’s origins are unclear, but it was most likely built in around 1250. There are a huge number of paranormal entities said to call this castle home, which include two little girls called Emily and Charlotte seen running and playing throughout the castle, a Red Lady who was imprisoned here. She was raped and impregnated here, her baby was killed and she took her own life...

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 the Wallace Suite. But there’s so much more.

But what would I experience when my team and I investigated this hotel in the...
