Stay ConnectedWelcome to How Haunted? the paranormal podcast where each episode we explore the horrible history, and terrifying ghost stories of one of the most haunted places on planet Earth.
I’m Rob Kirkup. Author, paranormal historian, and ghost hunter from the north-east of England. Allow me to be your guide as we dare to investigate in depth the, often dark and troubled, history of each location, and of course, the chilling tales of the ghosts that reside within.
Originally released for Patreons in January, I hope you enjoy this very special episode.
Picking up where we left off at the end of episode 18, I head back north of the border to Edinburgh, and once again investigate Mary King's Close.
In this special episode, you'll join me for that investigation in early 2013, and I'll talk you through every aspect of the ghost hunt, and you'll hear actual audio from the investigation, as it happened.
It was one hell of a night.

Nestled on the lush island of Jamaica lies an enigmatic manor shrouded in mystery and macabre tales. A grand hall with elegant Georgian architecture and captivating allure, holds a haunted past that has gripped the imagination of locals and visitors alike. It has earned a fearsome reputation originating from slavery, murder, and rumored witchcraft.
This week we travel to the Caribbean Island nation of Jamaica and ask just how haunted is Rose Hall?

A disused water tower which some claim may now be used as a secret government base, built atop a hill which was a site of importance to the pagans and the Vikings, and may even be the burial site of the most famous of all of the Vikings who ruled Jorvik. This little known site in haunted York, has seen reports of shadowy figures and disembodied footsteps.
So, tonight, join me as we dare to continue our time in York and ask just how haunted is Siward's Howe?

In 1379 a prisoner made their final journey, the longest journey he would ever make, as his destination was the gallows, where, before a crowd could barely wait to see his dangle by his neck until dead. In 1801 these gallows claimed it’s final victim, and in the 422 years in between hundreds of condemned met their end here, including the most famous highwayman that there ever was.
The site where the gallows once stood appears to have been stained by the extreme death and suffering that occurred here, which manifests itself in people being touched by unseen hands, and disembodied voices carried on the breeze.
So, tonight, join me as we head to a grisly monument to death, and ask how haunted is York Tyburn?

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?

One of the most ancient and mysterious places on Earth. This prehistoric monument has been standing for up to 5,000 years and has been the subject of countless legends and myths.

Hear the remainder of my conversation with Emma from the Weird Wiltshire Blog as we explore the secrets of Stonehenge and its haunted reputation.
So, tonight, join me as the Summer Solstice draws ever closer as we once again ask just how haunted is Stonehenge?

With its imposing stones and intricate architecture, this structure has stood as a testament to human ingenuity and skill for millennia. Its construction occurred during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, making it one of the most fascinating, and best known, archaeological sites in the world.
Not only that but is has been intrinsically linked to folklore, myth, and the paranormal since the dawn of its recorded history.
So, tonight, as the summer solstice draws closer join me for the first of a two-part special, and we ask how haunted is Stonehenge?
Thanks so much to Emma for talking with me, you can find her blog at www.weird-wiltshire.co.uk.

Originally released for Patreons in December, I hope you enjoy this very special episode.
Picking up where we left off at the end of episode 7 and 8, I head to the Wheatsheaf pub to conduct the only investigation permitted there in the last decade.
In this special episode, you'll join me for an investigation in early 2015, and I'll talk you through every aspect of the ghost hunt, and you'll hear actual audio from the investigation, as it happened.
It was one hell of a night.

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.
