Bonus Episode 10 - The Cammo Estate

4/19/2024
Originally released for Patreons in June 2023 I hope you enjoy this very special episode. 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 whispering is heard deep in the woodland. Dogs howl and bark within the grounds in the dead of night, and can be heard for miles around. Would I encounter any of these phantoms when my team and I investigated this estate back in the spring of 2012? Let's find out together. Tonight, join me for a very special episode, as we return to Edinburgh and ask just how haunted is the Cammo Estate?

March Patreon Teaser - The Lit & Phil

3/23/2024
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 home town. Some have claimed that this building could be the home of 16 individual spirits, including a former librarian who still the flicks through the books after dark. So tonight, join me as together ask, just how haunted is the Lit & Phil. Get access to the full episode, which is over an hour long, right now at https://www.patreon.com/howhauntedpod.

Bonus Episode 9 - Haggerston Castle Holiday Park

3/22/2024
Originally released for Patreons in May 2023 I hope you enjoy this very special episode. 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 this particular holiday park. The ghosts and ghouls that roam the older parts. These include the Victorian lady who roams the Rotunda, the small child seen within the summer house, and the man seen walking through the Italian gardens. Would I encounter any of these phantoms when my team and I investigated this holiday park one summer’s night? Let’s find out together. Tonight, join me for a very special episode, as in the month that my new book Paranormal Northumberland is released, we head to that very county and turn our attention, rather unusually, to Haggerston Castle Holiday Park.

To celebrate the first birthday of How Haunted? on the 2nd September, I've revisited the first ever episode and added a little over 15 minutes of audio from the investigation I conducted at the Covenanter's Prison, a place so dark and dangerous that no one else has ever been allowed to investigate here.

We'll delve into the history the ghost stories, and what would happen when Rob was able to spend some time all alone in the Black Mausoleum, the site of over 4000 physical attacks by the violent phantom?

Bonus Episode 8 - The National Railway Museum

12/29/2023
Originally released for Patreons in April I hope you enjoy this very special episode. A popular railway museum, which opened in 1975, is said to be the haunt of a number of ghosts. Paul, a violent entity who lurks in the ladies toilets, George who remains within the Travelling Post Office, and still takes huge pride in his work, many years following his passing, a tall man in a top hat, a mischievous spirit who likes to mess up the gift shop after dark, the archives has been the scene of terrifying possessions, and a haunted train carriage which was once used as a mobile brother by the Nazis during the second world war. Would I encounter any of these phantoms when my team and I joined another group to investigate this building after dark? Let’s find out together. Tonight, join me for a very special episode, as I once again take on one of the scariest places in York, this time, the National Railway Museum. To get episodes such as this sooner, you can become a Patreon for £3 a month, and get yourself early access to episodes, and more exclusive episodes where Rob will conduct ghost hunts and you'll hear the audio from the night.

The Nightmare Before Christmas 2023

12/22/2023
The second annual Nightmare Before Christmas special is upon us, and in this special episode I will read real ghost stories from listeners. Christmas is intrinsically linked with the telling of ghost stories, so it seems like the perfect time to tell these stories of timeslips, premonitions, gifts from beyond the grave, and frightening encounters with the dead. There’ll also be polterguests dropping by, in the form of authors, podcasters, bloggers and YouTubers, and they’ll tell you of their own scary experiences in their own words. Two of these stories are accompanied by audio recordings which are most definitely not for those of a nervous disposition, as they appear to capture the voices of the dead. You have been warned. Huge thank you to Carole, Dorothy, Karen, Craig, Barney, Jim, and 'Michael' for sending in their stories for me to read. And an equally enormous thanks to my polterguests, Emma, Rob, Icy and Nicky, who contributed to this Christmas special. You can find Icy Sedgwick's podcast at https://pod.co/fabulous-folklore-with-icy Her Halloween special, which is a chat with me about ghosts while we sat inside Newcastle's oldest building is at https://pod.co/fabulous-folklore-with-icy/two-ghost-hunters-in-conversation-at-newcastle-castle And Icy's website is at https://www.icysedgwick.com Emma's blog is at https://weird-wiltshire.co.uk Rob's frightfully good YouTube channel is at https://www.youtube.com/@DeadAirTV And Nicky and Charles Wright's new podcast, The World's Most Haunted, is going to launch in early 2024. You can find out more at their website https://theworldsmosthaunted.com/ or their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@TheWorldsMostHaunted Thanks to you for listening to How Haunted? this year.
