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 3 leaves off, I conducted another paranormal investigation at Chillingham Castle in January 2015, and what a night we had!
This is a sneak peek at the first ever Patreon episode, which is over 90 minutes long, and 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.
