This time we return to Derby Gaol, a site of murder, suicide, executions, disease, suffering and despair. I continue by conversation with Richard Felix, and he tells me of an unbelievable occurrence he had at Halloween in front of a group of onlookers. This remarkable display of poltergeist activity was actually filmed by CCTV as well as one of those in attendance, so you can actually see it for yourself, as you’ll hear. Join me and let’s ask together once again, just how haunted is Derby...

In the 21st Patreon bonus podcast you join me once again in the incredible city of York, and this time we spend a night at the original Treasurer’s House. A building dating back to 1080, built on the site of a roman fort. But what would happen when my team and I stepped foot inside this award-winning hotel after dark, and attempted to make contact with the ghosts that stalk the corridors and bedrooms of this grade I listed building, that Is believed to be the oldest continuously occupied...

This time out you join me in the city of Derby which is apparently the best place in the world to drink real ale, it’s the home of Rolls Royce, as well, of course, this episode’s location. Dating back to 1756 this place witnessed the very worst of humanity, and as a result it believed to be home to all manner of things that go bump in the night. Lets’ ask together, as I’m joined by the Richard Felix, who owns this historic landmark, and we ask just how haunted is Derby Gaol? Huge thank you to...

This time you join me in the remote Northumberland countryside, and I literally mean join me, as I recorded this episode on location at the site of the bloodiest battle in the history of England. This loss of life, a little over 500 years ago, appears to have left its mark on this land, as the sights and sounds of battle, and of death, are experienced here all too often. Let's ask together just how haunted is Flodden Field? Support How Haunted? by subscribing and leaving a review. You can...

In the 20th Patreon bonus podcast you join me on location at a 14th century pele tower in Northumberland, constructed during uncertain times when England was at war with Scotland, and being so close to the border required this tower to be fortified. But what would happen when, all alone, I stepped foot inside this tower? Would I hear the footsteps and voices heard here all too often, or perhaps I would be unfortunate enough to encounter the Preston Hound? Also you'll hear all about what...

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...

This time you join me for the final part of our trilogy of episodes situated in Ireland, as we visit a further ten locations in this wonderfully scary county, with stops along our ghost trail including a fort, a castle, a stone circle, a hotel, a cathedral, and even a petrol station. Let's ask together for the third, and final time, just how haunted is County Cork? The service station videos I refer to at the first location in this episode can be found here...

This time out you join me for part two of our trilogy of episodes situated in Ireland, this time we visit a further twelve locations in this most picturesque, yet terrifying, of counties, with stops along our ghost trail including a school, an asylum, a gaol, and if you need a pint of Guiness, or something stronger, to calm your nerves you’ll be pleased to hear we’re stopping at plenty of pubs along our route. Lets’ ask together, once again, just how haunted is County Cork? The video from...

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...

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...

This time out we begin an epic trilogy of episodes in which we’ll head to Ireland and I will lead you across a county as haunted as it is beautiful, and in total we will visit no fewer than 26 places of considerable interest, with locations as varied as castles, an asylum, pubs, churches and cathedrals, a school, and even a river and a lake. And beware as there may well be ghosts, ghouls, poltergeists, and monsters at every turn. Strap in, as this one is most definitely not for the faint of...

In the 18th Patreon bonus podcast we return once more to York, and in particular to a hotel in the shadow of York Minster which was originally built between 1864 and 1865 as three separate dwellings for the Dean of York Minster, to house the Clergy. But what would happen when my team and I stepped foot inside this hotel, which has been labelled the most haunted in York by some, considering that only two weeks before our investigation the hotel had made the local news when a guest was pulled...

This time we head to the theatre where we may very well encounter a plethora of ghosts including that of a Carry On icon who died on stage, a man killed by a cannon ball, and two women who sadly took their own lives. Join me as we return to me native north east, and let’s ask just how haunted are the theatres of Tyne & Wear? Support How Haunted? by subscribing and leaving a review.

This time we head inside the oldest prison in the world. For almost four centuries this place of incarceration in Somerset witnessed disease, violence, and executions. This has created a breeding ground for the spooks and specters that remain here to this day, as it is now a tourist attraction that caters for those with an interest in the paranormal. Let’s step foot inside this 17th century house of correction together as we ask just how haunted is Shepton Mallet Prison? Support How Haunted?...

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.   This was initially only available to Patreons, if you want to get access to Patreon content when it's initially released check out Patreon.com/howhauntedpod    Thank you so much for...

In the 17th Patreon bonus podcast I do something a little different. Following on from episode 69 and 70, in which we looked at some of the most haunted dolls in the world, I buy a haunted doll of my very own and spend some time after dark all alone with nothing but the doll for company.   Tonight, you join me from a hotel room, as I ask the question, just how haunted is my very own haunted doll?   Get access to the full two-hour long episode right now at...

This time we continue to delve into the scary world of haunted dolls, as this week includes arguably the most famous haunted doll of them all, possibly even better known than Annabelle, a whole host of dolls resident to the UK, some dolls based on popular children’s television and film characters, and dolls bought from eBay. Let’s find out all about these seemingly harmless toys as we ask once again just how haunted are these dolls? https://shopkwahs.mybigcommerce.com/  – Link to the Robert...

This time we begin a two-part special in which we look at the favourite toy of many children, all over the globe, a delightful companion that provides many years of companionship in those early innocent years of life. However when we grow older their fixed grin and staring vacant eyes of a child’s doll can be the stuff of nightmares. Films such as Child’s Play and the Conjuring have added to the fear that many people have when it comes to dolls. Let’s find out all about these terrifying...

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...

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...

Join me as I head into the remote Northumberland countryside, and to former hunting lodge built in 1775 that stands in the largest man-made woodland in England at 250 square miles, famed for its dark skies. But what would happen when my team and I stepped foot inside this 18th century castle? 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. Tonight, let us head to the darkest place in England, and ask...

This time I’m joined by Emma from the Weird Wiltshire blog as we continue to explore the mysteries of an unfinished mansion in Gloucestershire. We discuss why it was never finished, we attempt to separate fact from fiction when it comes to some of the darker tales surrounding the building, and Emma will tell us some more of the grand house’s ghost stories. This week we ask once again, how haunted is Woodchester Mansion. Thanks to Emma, and you can check out her blog at...

This time we head to Gloucestershire where we step foot inside a mansion dating from the mid-19th century that was constructed at great cost, but never finished when the builders left refusing the return. It has never been a home, well not for the living anyway, as it appears that the great house which was abandoned from the beginning is home to a number of spirits, some more darker and dangerous than the others. Let’s find out all about this mysterious mansion as we ask just how haunted is...
