Episode 64 – Take Care, Caretaker ‘I took a huge breath and walked through the door. I found nothing … no one. A very cold and dark feeling swept over me. I grabbed my bag, went back into the hall, closed the window at the back of the stage, switched the lights off, made sure the kitchen lights were off, and got outside. It was still daylight, and the mood was so much lighter, but I had no idea what I’d just experienced in that community hall.’This is episode 64 of the Haunted UK Podcast, and in this episode, we’ll be taken to a haunted … community centre – but isn’t this kind of haunted place so much worse than castles, manor homes and remote deserted cabins in woods? – because it’s a place most of us know, a place which is typical in so many towns in the UK … a place we’ve been to for parties, weigh-ins, jumble sales. You know it well: a place where chairs are stacked to the side for events, with a small stage and musty curtains; a kitchen with a tea urn and serving hatch. Pantomimes at Christmas, committee meetings on Tuesdays. All very tame, all very everyday. But this story is not everyday … and it’s not tame.Get yourselves ready as we unlock the secrets of this not-so-everyday community centre and warn, ‘Take Care, Caretaker’ …Do you have an interesting story which you'd be willing to share with the show?
