In this episode of Haunted Pub Crawl, we head deep into Wales to explore two eerie and atmospheric haunted inns with chilling reputations of their own. First, we uncover the legend of the Woman in White at Llindir Inn, a tragic tale of betrayal, loss and a spirit said to still linger within the ancient building. Then we travel to Fairy Falls in Trefriw, a pub wrapped in folklore, mystery and ghostly reports that have helped give it a haunted reputation in the heart of North Wales.

n this episode of Haunted Pub Crawl, we head into North Wales to explore two historic pubs with chilling reputations that refuse to fade. First, we step inside The Blue Lion in Cwm, Denbighshire — an ancient inn steeped in folklore, where the ghost of John Henry is said to linger through heavy footsteps, strange noises, and a dark story of violence and disappearance. Then we make our way to The Salusbury Arms in Tremeirchion, a pub with a reputation so intense it has been linked to multiple spirits, eerie sightings, unsettling activity in the cellar, and even claims of an exorcism.

Grab a drink, dim the lights, and join us for another round of Haunted Pub Crawl. www.linktree.com/pursuitoftheparanormal www.pursuitofthepaaranormal.co.uk

In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, we head into Wales to explore two historic pubs with chilling reputations and richly layered pasts: the Prince of Wales Inn in Kenfig and the Black Boy Inn in Caernarfon. First, we uncover the eerie story of the Prince of Wales Inn, a building that began life as Kenfig’s old town hall and has served as a courtroom, market, inquest room and even a mortuary for shipwreck victims. With reports of ghostly organ music, disembodied voices, and alleged recordings made during a 1980s investigation, this is one of the most compelling haunted pub stories in Wales. We then travel north to the Black Boy Inn in Caernarfon, one of the oldest inns in Wales, where guests and staff have reported glasses flying from shelves, strange knocks and bangs, a crying child, and even an old woman appearing at the end of a bed. With over 500 years of history inside Caernarfon’s ancient walls, the Black Boy Inn is steeped in atmosphere and unsettling legend. Join us as we dive into the history, hauntings and public reports surrounding these two remarkable Welsh pubs — and ask whether these are simply stories born of age and folklore, or whether something unseen still lingers within their walls. The exploration of haunted establishments in Wales offers a compelling intersection of history and the supernatural, particularly evident in the narrative surrounding the Prince of Wales Inn, a historical edifice situated in Kenfig. This inn, with its origins as the town hall, encapsulates centuries of human experience, weaving a complex tapestry of civic life, commerce, and tragedy. The haunting claims associated with this venue, including spectral organ music and disembodied voices, are not mere folklore but rather documented occurrences that have intrigued both locals and investigators alike. The interplay between the building's storied past and the eerie phenomena reported provides a fertile ground for discussing the nature of memory and the persistence of human emotions in physical spaces. The haunting at the Prince of Wales Inn transcends simple ghost stories; it invites reflection on the very essence of history, memory, and the traces left by those who once inhabited its walls. Conversely, the Black Boy Inn in Carnarvon presents a different yet equally fascinating narrative. Established in the early 16th century, this inn is steeped in the lore of the region, drawing visitors not only for its historical significance but also for its rich array of haunting tales. The reported phenomena, ranging from moving objects to apparitions, contribute to a vibrant narrative that resonates with both the spectral and the historical. The inn's name itself is shrouded in mystery, with various theories regarding its origin, reflecting the layered complexity of historical narratives in Wales. The haunting experiences recounted by patrons and staff serve to reinforce the idea that these old establishments are not merely venues for hospitality but repositories of stories, emotions, and perhaps even the echoes of those who have come before. Here, the haunting is characterized by a tangible presence, as if the very essence of past visitors lingers in the atmosphere, shaping the experiences of those who pass through today. In synthesizing the experiences from both the Prince of Wales Inn and the Black Boy Inn, one discerns a profound commentary on the nature of hauntings themselves. The former is steeped in a haunting of echoes, where sounds of the past seem to reverberate through the building, while the latter embodies a haunting of presence, marked by the movement and disturbances that suggest an ongoing interaction with the past. These contrasting yet complementary narratives compel us to ponder the broader implications of how we relate to historical places and the stories they harbor. Each establishment stands as a testament to the enduring connections between the past and present, serving as a reminder that history is not...

The podcast delves into the profound journey of Jeremy Spillane, who narrates his experiences following the passing of his mother-in-law, Joan, and father-in-law, Roger. This episode emphasizes the remarkable signs and communications that Jeremy and his wife Caroline believe they received from Joan after her sudden death. Within days of her passing, they noticed inexplicable phenomena, such as televisions turning on unexpectedly, which they interpreted as messages from Joan. This initial experience catalyzed Jeremy's exploration into the world of paranormal investigations, leading him to acquire various ghost-hunting equipment, including a K2 meter, an SLS camera, and an Ovilus device. He recounts the emotional encounters they had with these devices, particularly when they were able to capture Roger’s spirit as a stick figure on the SLS camera, thus affirming their belief in the existence of an afterlife. Throughout the discussion, the themes of loss, the quest for understanding, and the interplay between technology and the spiritual realm are intricately woven together, providing listeners with a compelling narrative that challenges the boundaries of conventional belief.

What happens when centuries of history, tragedy, and human emotion collide in the walls of an old pub? In this episode of Haunted Pub Crawl, we travel deep into North Wales to investigate two historic inns with chilling reputations — places where locals, staff, and guests have reported encounters that defy easy explanation. Our first stop is The Star Inn in Ruthin, a 17th-century pub that sits directly opposite the former Ruthin Gaol, a prison that once held and executed criminals. In 1903, a man named William Hughes was hanged there for murder — a documented execution that still echoes through the town’s dark history. But the story took a strange turn when a photograph taken inside the pub appeared to show a swirling ghostly mist forming behind customers at a table. The image quickly made headlines and triggered a paranormal investigation that reported flickering lights, strange equipment readings, and a chilling phrase captured during a spirit-box session. Then we head into the mountains of Snowdonia, to the village of Beddgelert and the historic Goat Inn, a coaching inn that has welcomed travellers for centuries. Guests here have reported a silent figure standing by the fireplace late at night, footsteps pacing the upstairs corridors, and cold spots that seem to move through the building. Are these experiences simply the atmosphere of ancient buildings playing tricks on the mind… or could something from the past still linger in these historic Welsh pubs? Join us as we explore the stories, the history, and the unexplained phenomena surrounding two of North Wales’ most intriguing haunted pubs. Grab a drink, pull up a chair… and step with us into the shadows of the Haunted Pub Crawl.

Old pubs hit different after dark—low lighting, creaking timber, cellars you don’t want to go down alone… and stories that refuse to die. In this episode we take on a haunted pub crawl across Wales, blending documented history with the legends and witness accounts that keep these places firmly on the paranormal map. We begin at Cardiff’s Rummer Tavern, often cited among the city centre’s oldest pubs, where reports consistently circle the cellar and toilets and a long-running sailor legend still hangs in the air. Next, we travel to Monmouth’s Queen’s Head, a historic inn wrapped in Civil War tradition and Cromwell-era storytelling, with recurring reports of strange presences that have become part of its identity. Then it’s time for the Skirrid Inn—a pub with a dark past and a reputation for intense paranormal activity that’s earned it “most haunted” status in countless retellings. And to round off the night, we stop in Abergavenny at The Duke of Wellington, because no haunted pub crawl is complete without one more old building, one more story, and one more “did you hear that?” moment. Note: We discuss hauntings as folklore and personal testimony rather than confirmed fact.

The haunting at 30 East Drive, a semi-detached council house in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, commenced shortly after the Pritchard family moved in during August 1966. This episode delves into the unsettling experiences the family encountered, attributed to an unseen force which they referred to as Fred, while media dubbed it Mr. Nobody. The narrative escalates with increasingly disturbing incidents, particularly focusing on the youngest child, Diane, who was allegedly dragged up the stairs by this malevolent entity, leaving her with visible marks. The notoriety of this case has rendered 30 East Drive one of the most renowned poltergeist hauntings in England, inspiring literature and various media adaptations, including the horror film "When the Lights Went Out." As we explore the timeline and complexities of this haunting, we invite you to join us in uncovering the mysteries that surround this infamous location. Takeaways:

Today’s discourse navigates the intricate intersections of military experience and the enigmatic realm of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). Our distinguished guest, Michael Selig, a decorated former U.S. Marine Corps combat jet attack pilot, shares his profound insights regarding the covert operations he encountered during Operation Desert Storm. He elucidates the dissonance between the intelligence he received as the squadron intelligence officer and the narratives presented to the public, igniting a critical examination of governmental transparency and the manipulation of information. This episode delves into the broader implications of such experiences, suggesting a looming contact event with extraterrestrial entities by 2027, a prospect that beckons both curiosity and apprehension. As we unravel these complex themes, we invite our listeners to contemplate the profound ramifications of these revelations for humanity and our understanding of our place within the cosmos.

In this engaging episode of the Pursuit of the Paranormal podcast, Ash Ellis and Greg Tomlinson undertake a comprehensive retrospective of the year 2025, particularly focusing on the UFO phenomena that have garnered significant public interest. The conversation unfolds with the hosts reflecting on their personal experiences and observations throughout the year, particularly the emergence of several whistleblowers who have significantly influenced the discourse surrounding UAPs. The hosts dissect the impact of the UAP Disclosure Act, which has faced numerous obstacles within the legislative process, leading to a palpable sense of disillusionment among advocates for transparency. As they grapple with the implications of these legislative failures, they also explore the broader societal perceptions of UAPs and the inherent skepticism that often accompanies governmental disclosures. The episode further delves into the cultural ramifications of UAP sightings, highlighting how mainstream media narratives can shape public perceptions and influence the acceptance of extraordinary claims. The hosts passionately advocate for a more nuanced understanding of these phenomena, urging listeners to remain open to the myriad of possibilities that exist within the realm of the paranormal. They adeptly navigate discussions surrounding the intersection of scientific inquiry and spiritual beliefs, particularly examining the burgeoning interest in consciousness studies and their potential relevance to UAP encounters. This episode stands out as a critical analysis of 2025's developments, serving as both a recap and a thought-provoking invitation for listeners to engage more deeply with the subjects at hand.

Get ready for one of history’s most bizarre and brutally physical UFO cases. In this episode, we revisit the wild 1954 wave in Venezuela, where a Cuban businessman named Gustavo González attempted—with his bare hands—to kidnap a small, hairy alien from a glowing orb. His plan backfired spectacularly when the three-foot-tall creature threw him 15 feet through the air. Over the next 40 days, multiple independent witnesses encountered the same aggressive, rock-collecting “dwarves”—creatures with rhino-like skin, paralyzing rays, and a surprising vulnerability to thrown stones. Backed by police reports, medical exams, and credible testimonies, this isn't a story of lights in the sky, but of mud, blood, and cosmic indifference. What were they doing here? And what does it mean when the universe responds not with wonder, but with a literal slap? Join us as we explore the case where humanity learned the hard way: don’t grab things you don’t understand.

THE TELEPHONE LINE THEORY — A GAME-CHANGER FOR PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION In this episode of Pursuit of the Paranormal, Greg and Sarah from Beyond Our Ordinary take over the epsiode to break down a brand-new way of understanding spirit communication — a concept we call The Telephone Line Theory. This theory suggests that ghosts and spirits don’t just randomly appear…they communicate when people, objects and places align. Just like a phone call, both ends must pick up the line. Is paranormal activity truly random or is it synchronised communication based on People, Objects, and Places finally connecting at the same moment? This episode blends science, psychology, energy, and real-world paranormal evidence to create a framework that could reshape how investigators work. www.pursuitoftheparanormal.co.uk

In the improbably convoluted corridors of cosmic bureaucracy, where advanced civilizations traverse light-years only to suffer from basic provisioning oversights, the 1961 Simonton Encounter stands as a beacon of underwhelming revelation. Joe Simonton, a steadfast Wisconsin plumber and chicken farmer, interrupted his mundane morning chores by a peculiar noise, only to confront a metallic saucer hovering insolently in his yard—not landing with dramatic flair, but lingering aloof like a guest who'd forgotten the invitation. Inside, three five-foot figures in dark uniforms, one bedecked with inexplicable red stripes, wordlessly bartered a two-handled jug for water, offering in return four hot, greasy pancakes—thin discs riddled with holes, prepared on a flameless device that mocked earthly kitchens. Simonton's taste test yielded cardboard blandness, sans salt, prompting a cascade of absurdity: he reported to authorities, surrendering the artifacts to Project Blue Book under Dr. J. Allen Hynek's gaze. Analysis revealed hydrogenated fat, starch, buckwheat, soy, and bran—terrestrial staples with an enigmatic wheat variant, leading to wild speculations of alien dietary woes or frugal foraging. Officially "unexplained," the case evaporated into ridicule, with Simonton regretting his candour amid community scorn, and the pancakes mysteriously "disappearing" from Air Force vaults, a testament to administrative incompetence over conspiracy. This episode of "That Unconventional Ufologist" delves deep into the encounter's satirical splendour: contrasting high-tech levitation with culinary catastrophe, drawing parallels to 1954's "angel hair" filaments (mere spider silk?) and 1965's Valensole soil sabotage. We explore ufology's mundane motifs—ephemeral evidence, behavioural whimsy—and philosophical fallout: if aliens crave unsalted carbs, what does that say about universal evolution? From Hynek's endorsement of Simonton's sincerity to the event's TV adaptation, we unpack how cosmic contact favours slapstick over spectacle, urging listeners to question if the stars hide profound truths or just poorly seasoned snacks.
