How Haunted? Podcast | Horrible Histories, Real Life Ghost Stories, and Paranormal Investigations from Some of the Most Haunted Places on Earth

In Patreon Bonus Episode 51, you join me in Stockton-on-Tees, inside Elmwood House.

It's just after ten o'clock at night. The doors have been locked, the staff have gone home, and for the next eleven hours I'll be completely alone inside this Victorian building.

Around me are multiple audio recorders, a night vision observation room, motion sensors, cat balls, and a few experiments I've never attempted before.

Over the coming hours, I'll attempt to discover why so many people leave Elmwood House convinced they've experienced something they can't explain.

This episode was recorded entirely on location, live inside the building itself.

So what happens when you spend the night completely alone inside one of the North East's most talked-about paranormal locations?

Let's find out.

Tonight, join me as we find out just how haunted is Elmwood House?

In episode 148, our journey through Touched by the Dead continues as we turn our attention to physical traces.

Throughout history, people have reported discovering marks they believed could not be explained through ordinary means. Burned handprints. Unexplained scratches. Marks appearing on religious objects. Statues said to weep tears or blood.

A sighting lasts a moment.

A physical trace remains.

Tonight we'll travel from Rome to Japan, explore some of the world's strangest claims and ask a simple question, can the dead leave their mark?

In episode 147, our journey through our Touched by the Dead series continues as we turn our attention to objects.

Most of us own something we could never throw away. An old watch, a piece of jewellery, a favourite book. Usually they're reminders of the people we've lost. Sometimes they're said to be something more.

A doll blamed for strange events. A chair linked to death. A box people claim should never be opened.

Tonight we'll explore some of the world's most infamous haunted and cursed objects and ask a simple question:

Can an object really become haunted?

Spooky Season is finally here!

In episode 146 we enter spooky season and begin a brand new five-part series, Touched by the Dead. Throughout October we'll explore the many ways people claim the dead leave evidence of their continued existence. From haunted objects and mysterious scratches to Electronic Voice Phenomena and possession.

Tonight we begin with perhaps the most famous form of paranormal evidence of them all. Photographs. We'll explore the origins of spirit photography, examine some of the most famous ghost photographs ever taken, including the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall, Freddy Jackson's Ghost, the Tulip Staircase Ghost and the Newby Church Monk, and ask why almost all of these famous images come from the distant past.

So let's ask together, can the dead be photographed?
