New Ghost Stories
Discover Britain's lost ghost stories. Author David Paul Nixon has spent over a decade collecting supernatural horror stories that have never been told before. Are these tales of madness, lies, or self-deception? Or could they be the real thing? The only way to find out, is to listen. A new uncanny tale lands on the 15th of every month. You can listen to each ghost story in any order, but always reserve your judgement until you've heard all the way to the end.

The New Ghost Stories Podcast is back to dial up the fear this festive season. But it’s a different type of festival chiller this year. A real-time story about how a life fell apart in just a matter of hours. So settle down, treat yourself to a nice warm drink, sit d...
The recording for Sredni Vashar is a few years old, so apologies for the dip in audio quality here.
We come to the end of a long road. Not just in terms of this decade-spanning – or indeed the end of season 4 of the podcast. This is last regular episode of this ghost story podcast. At least for now. Thanks so much for listening. I hope this final horror story has been worth waiting for.
A big thanks to Karyna Collier-Marsh for helping out with these...
What better way to end Season 4 – and this phase of the podcast – by solving the show’s oldest supernatural mystery. In episode 1, we met an uncanny killer, a paranormal entity that kills slowly, tormenting his victims using a rhythm of six knocks.
After that episode, I a...
I’ve moved the annual summer bonus episode up in the schedule to give me more time to work on the season finale. Alas, I’ve only just about managed to put this episode out on time, nevermind start on the next one. Oh well, finger’s crossed things will still stay on sched...
Traditionally, you have to be dead to be a ghost. But today we have new types of ghoul. They’re not supernatural, they’re not paranormal, they’re people who share the same spaces with us, but live in a completely different reality. Where the rules are different, and everything is connected. They’re still aliv...
Ghosts come most often when we’re vulnerable, and there are few times when we’re more vulnerable to the supernatural than when we’re in mourning. When we’re contemplating not just who we’ve lost, but our own mortality. Why wouldn’t we want to reach out to something beyond, and hope that there is an after...
There’s probably never really a good time to come face-to-face with the supernatural, but there are definitely worse times than others. This is a rare ghost story that manages to be both a reminder and a premonition – it reveals a frightening event from the past, and provides a terrifying ...
This unforgettable episode of the podcast is another tale from the weird section of the archive. And it’s one that raises all sorts of questions about time. Is it all laid out before us? Can we change our fate? Or is what’s happening all some clever trick? If the man at the centre of all this has some supernatural gift, how come he’s in this situation, pe...
This classic gothic tale of mad science ended up being a bit of a challenge to complete for the podcast. Not just because of my 'American accent' (ho...
Revenge is a dish best served sweet in this year’s ghost story for Christmas. There is something wonderful about the festive season, the way it helps us to renew connections with the people we care about. But connections can come with baggage. And when it’s family, love can often be tinged with hate. I wish you all a ve...
Many a ghost story revolves around acts of injustice. An act of evil is committed, and then a terrifying, chilling act of supernatural vengeance is enacted to right it. But justice is a slippery thing. We may revel in seeing an act of revenge be carried out, but are we forgetting to ask whether that revenge is appropriate? Did the v...
Welcome to season 4 of this ghost story podcast, and prepare yourself for a chilling walk into the woods… Our first new supernatural case may be modern in terms of its setting, but its themes go back generations. History has a habit of repeating itself. And it can be frightening to consider what t...
While M.R. James may lay claim to being the most influential of the classic ghost story writers, E.F. Benson is by far the most prolific. He penned more than 50 of what he called 'spook stor...
Many old ghost stories have the reputation of being cosy. Stories to tell around the fireside to provide listeners with a pleasant terror. One of the surprises about Edith Nesbit’s stories – an author, let’s not forget, famous for her children’s classics – is that they don’t hold back. He...
- One of the many things that fascinates me about these real-life horror stories is how people come to live with what has happened to them. Regardless of how chilling or traumatising an experience may have been, you’ve still got to go home afterwards, do the shopping, answer your emails. The extraordinary and t...
We’re bringing season three of this supernatural podcast home with an epic two-part horror story. A tale in which speaking truth and standing up for yourself are just as frightening as any paranormal entity. Well… almost. This an uncanny case where one woman goes on a journey and has to face her...
If your home is haunted, are you ever truly alone? If you share your living space with a spirit, what happens to your privacy? What can ghosts see? Supernatural stories often focus on the noises, the shocks, the scares. But what is it really like to live with something paranormal? What does it do to your senses, k...
Rather than a haunting, this is another frightening case from the weird section of my paranormal archive. There’s a long tradition of scary plants in horror. They’re something we can’t control, that creep and grow sometimes where we don’t want them too. Slowly, gradually, they can be destructive. We have to keep them in check...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
