Season 8 - Episode 8

Greetings, my spectral spectators!

Yes, that’s right—it’s Series 8, Episode 8.

This week, I channel my inner news anchor, kicking off the episode with a rundown of the headlines. Expect chaos, confusion, and at least one mention of paranormal parking violations.

🧑‍🍳 Back in the studio, Linda (begrudgingly!) tells us all about retro cooking—dishes like fish, mash and parsley sauce that haven’t seen the light of day since the 80s school dinner tray.

Naturally, this opens the floodgates for Clinton’s Retro Food Hour, as we go full Delia meets Derek Acorah.

👂 Then we get into it:

• Whispered Warnings – a woman hears ghostly messages before disaster strikes.
• Pub Spirits – the classic tale of a haunted local. Grab a pint and prepare for goosebumps.
• Vicky Leith – who INSISTS her story isn’t spooky. Spoiler: it is. We investigate in two parts, and it gets… tense.
• The Ghost Called John (and the Mystery of the Parking Space) – possibly the most British haunting ever.

🔮 We hit the Problem Pages, tackling paranormal conundrums with the usual spiritual sass.

🏛️ I speak to Marie Claire from Ilkley’s Kings Hall, who shares a haunting that might make you think twice before ignoring creaky floorboards.

🐞 Then: a story of the Death Watch Beetle (not a goth band—though it should be), and we catch up with Sam Redmond from Factory Live for more strange goings-on.

There’s retro nonsense, ghostly warnings, and haunted parking bays... and if that doesn’t tick all the boxes, I’ll eat my ectoplasmic hat.

Listening now... if you dare.
