Haunted Places in the UK You Don't Want to Visit at Night... Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

A recent poll has revealed that a third of british people believe in ghosts,
spirits or other types of paranormal phenomena....could that be because they have experienced paranormal activity themselves or have come face to face with an entity?
Well it seems if you live in the U.K the chances are that you have, as there appears to be a ghost or creepy story around every corner, in fact we found so many during our research for our previous haunted UK video that we thought we would make another one, that also includes a personal account of our stay at The Jamaica Inn, in Cornwall. So Hit those lights, sit back and enjoy another helping of Haunted Places In The UK.

CREEPY Cryptids that Might Actually Be Out There... Dec 13, 2021

Show notes

Currently, around 8.7 million known species of eukaryotic have been identified, and that figure is constantly growing, but these are just a fraction of what could be out there, and it is no surprise that people frequently witness creatures they have never seen before. These creatures that are proposed to exist without being formally recognised by science are known as cryptids, but just because they have not been formally recognised... doesn't mean they don't exist! In this video, we will look at five Creepy Cryptids that could actually be living amongst us.

SCARY Poltergeist Horror Stories That Will Make Your Skin Crawl... Nov 29, 2021

Show notes

Since the early Victorian era spiritualists and followers of the paranormal have tried to classify the supposed inhabitants from the world of the supernatural. There are the servants of God and Satan – Angels and Demons. There are ghosts and phantoms, the souls of those who have passed over but are still trapped here on earth for whatever reason. There are ancient ‘elementals’ and spirit animals. Then there are poltergeists. Today we look at five poltergeist horror stories.

TERRIFYING Ouija Board Horror Stories That Will Put You on Edge... Nov 22, 2021

Show notes

Is an Ouija board a harmless family game or is there something more sinister about them? Unless you have experienced anything strange happening to you after playing an ouija board the answer is probably harmless fun.
However there are those that are either susceptible to suggestion or genuinely believe they can contact the other side that will swear that an apparently ordinary piece of wood with numbers and letters on is able to summon up both spirits and demons and that you mess with an Ouija board at your peril... after all dicing with the unknown is always risky, and as this list will prove, there are sometimes disturbing and shocking consequences to those who mess with the power of a spirit board.

The Ghosts of New York City | Documentary Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

With roots dating back to colonial times, and a centuries-long pattern of hosting millions upon millions of people, New York City is not without its paranormal side, either. No city on Earth with a rich history like New York has functioned without a darker underbelly, with stories full of supernatural entities and creepy characters lurking in dark subway tunnels or shadows of a fog-filled alley near the port. They may not be what defines New York City, nor may they be the most documented aspect of its history, but one thing’s for sure; there’s more than one reason why they call it the City That Never Sleeps…
Let’s take a deeper dive into a few of the notable and a few of the lesser-known cases of the Ghosts of New York City.
