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.
Following on from where episode 7 and 8 leave off, I conducted the only paranormal investigation allowed at the Wheatsheaf pub in the last decade.
This is a sneak peek at the fourth Patreon episode, which includes audio from the actual investigation, so you can hear what happened, as it happened.
You can become a Patreon for £3 a month (which is completely flexible and can be cancelled whenever you choose), and get access to this very special episode RIGHT NOW, as well as early access to all the standard episodes and three other Patreon episodes waiting for you right now.

In a remote location, high above the North Sea, this castle has over 700 years of history, a turbulent past which has left it as a ruinous reminder of the violence and bloodshed that Northumberland has witnessed. This castle is said to be home to a number of spirits that were tied to the building in life, and most famously is the setting of a famous Northumbrian legend of a knight’s quest to save a maiden in distress.
Let's find out together, when we ask How Haunted is Dunstanburgh Castle?

One of London’s best-known cemeteries, in fact it’s considered one of London’s magnificent seven Victorian graveyards. Dating back to 1839, there are believed to be around 170,000 bodies buried beneath the ground here. This graveyard has earned a frightening reputation in more recent years with stories of men clad in all black conducting dark rituals here. Spooks and specters flit about quickly between the 53,000 gravestones, and red eyed demons call this place home. Then most famously of all is the vampire that preys on its victims here, in England’s capital.

Huge thanks to Della Farrant for helping to clarify some aspects of the Highgate Vampire case for me, and talking to me about her research into haunted Highgate.

A building designed to scare, disgust and terrify. Creepy, lifelike mannequins made up like torture victims, or a cannibalistic feast. Actors telling stories of the darkest periods in the history of this city, a city that we’ve visited on two previous podcast episodes. However could it actually be haunted? I investigated this location a decade ago, and received the biggest fright of my life.

In 1867, a psychiatric hospital was opened in Victoria, Australia, and for the next 126 years it would carry out horrendous medical procedures, without consent, or anesthetic.
13,000 died at Aradale, and today there are countless reports of visitors being bitten and scratched by unseen assailants, and disembodied screams and cries are heard along the empty corridors. This location has a terrifying reputation, but is it earned?

In 1985 a tunnel was found by a Scottish international rugby player, that led to an enormous underground complex, that had once been a thriving, lawless, city beneath Edinburgh.
This is a very paranormally active place indeed, with one malevolent phantom in particular being very unappreciative of the visitors who come here daily on tours.
I investigated this location a decade ago, and encountered this foul-mouthed, dangerous entity for myself, in what quickly escalated into the most dangerous investigation I had ever led.
Have the Vaults earned their reputation, as being one of the most fearsome places in Scotland?
Let's find out together, when we ask How Haunted are the Edinburgh Vaults?
