Haunted UK Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Our last 'From The Vault' episode before Season 6 launches on Friday 6th September.

‘Making sure their parents were asleep, the two 17-year-olds quietly left their homes with their tent, sleeping bags and other bits and pieces, and drove to a secluded spot. At around midnight, they'd found the perfect place to camp, so began pitching their tent and getting comfortable. It wasn't long after this that they both thought they heard something moving around in close proximity to their tent … They kept still and quiet, and continued to listen, but this was when the sounds of movement changed into the sounds of very definite footsteps ... there was someone in the forest with them.’

Content warning: Contains distressing details of child abduction cases from the 1960s linked to the area.

'Tis the season to be jolly.....and also the season to tell spooky stories, and the cases of the missing 411 are definitely creepy. In America, tens of thousands of people go to national parks to enjoy the scenery, wildlife and the awesome experience of being in the presence of amazing natural beauty.

But over the course of over 100 years, many people have simply vanished into thin air whilst visiting these beautiful tourist attractions. Only a handful of bodies have ever been found, and those have some very disturbing and strange facts connected to their discoveries. So with the Christmas holidays upon us, lets delve into some of the strange cases of the missing 411.

So, as you'll all be aware, our current season has now come to an end...and what a great season it was...so many amazing stories, and so many fantastic listener contributions.

And whilst we're working hard in the background on the new season, we felt that we didn't want to just leave you all in a paranormal type limbo, so we've decided to pull a few of our most memorable episodes out of the vault...and re-release them...so that all you amazing listeners out there, have something to sink your paranormal, supernatural and even sceptical chops into.

We'll also be releasing a couple of brand new Short Haunts to accompany these re-released episodes...but for now...grab a drink, get comfortable, dim the lights, and enjoy this classic episode.

Welcome to Episode 2 of Pink Flamingos Haunted UK Podcast. In this episode we're going to delve into the history and the ghosts of the infamous Borley Rectory. Was everything really as it seemed at this house, once called the most haunted house in England? Or were hoaxers at work here? Even the great ghost hunter Harry Price got involved with this case, and made a point of even living there for a year. His investigations have drawn criticism as well as praise, but who was telling the truth? Episode 2 is full of the best stories of the paranormal events which plagued the people and the house for over one hundred years. Make your own mind up after listening to this episode, but if you find yourselves in the area of Borley, why not go and pay this legendary location a visit. You never know, the next person who has an experience there....could be you. If you've had an experience or sighting whilst visiting the site of Borley Rectory, or anywhere else in the world, then please email the show at hauntedukpodcast@hotmail.com with full details of your encounter and I will try my best to read out as many listener stories as possible in dedicated listener episodes.

Welcome To Pink Flamingos Haunted UK Podcast. This is episode 1 - Dudley Castle and Zoo In this, our first episode, we'll be delving into some of the ghostly stories, poltergeist encounters and paranormal incidents that make Dudley Castle and Zoo one of the most haunted places in the UK. We'll explore and tell the stories of ghosts and spirits such as The Grey Lady and The Drummer Boys, and also delve into the legend of a very disruptive poltergeist. Thousands of people pass through the entrance gates of Dudley Zoo and Castle every year and almost all of them have no paranormal experiences at all. No sightings, no strange feelings, nothing, but a very small number do have an experience. A small number do see, or in some cases, even photograph a ghost without knowing it. Are these people chosen somehow to have these experiences? Are they more sensitive to paranormal vibrations and happenings, or are they more susceptible to suggestion from the surrounding environment? If you've had an experience or sighting whilst visiting Dudley Zoo and Castle then please email the show at hauntedukpodcast@hotmail.com with full details of your encounter and I will try my best to read out as many listener stories as possible in any follow up episodes that are made. I would genuinely love to to hear from you, so please, get in touch. Similarly, if you feel that you've heard something on this podcast that isn't quite right, then please get in touch with any revisions you feel are needed and I will include them in a future show.  Whilst conducting research for this episode I found the following sources extremely valuable: Dudley Zoo and Castle Wikipeadia Friends Of Dudley Castle Haunted Rooms Birmingham Live Serith.com Richard Felix and on YouTube, Most Haunted Live.

Short Haunts – Something in the Water

Welcome dear listeners, to our series of 'Short Haunts' – a shot of scary ... just for you. So, grab a hot chocolate, maybe a tea, maybe something stronger … because this is Haunted UK Podcast’s 'Short Haunts – Something in the Water'.

As we go about our daily work routines, we rarely think about the environment we're working in as somewhere that is haunted, or as a place which has some sort of paranormal manifestation. Maybe we spend too much time immersed in our work schedules to even notice that strange things are going on around us every day. But that's certainly not the case for the listener who sent in the following story. His experiences, and those of his colleagues, and even the police, couldn't be ignored or simply explained away. And it seems a huge possibility that the site at which the following events took place ... could still have some surprises in store in the future …

Episode 50 - Part 4 - Always Remember to Close the Door and other Listeners Stories

The dog went everywhere with us, but there was no way we could get her into the van. It was as if she knew something was very wrong. It was a terrifying journey to the rubbish tip, and once we arrived, we energetically began throwing the items into the trash – but as quickly as we were throwing them away, people began pulling the items back out. Even when we tried to warn them about what these things were capable of … we were ignored.

Short Haunts: The Shadow in the Cemetery.

Welcome dear listeners, to our series of 'Short Haunts’ – a shot of scary ... just for you. So, grab a hot chocolate, maybe a tea, maybe something stronger … because this is Haunted UK Podcast’s 'Short Haunts: The Shadow in the Cemetery.

As teenagers, many of us have had experiences which have in some way shaped our lives a little. A memorable holiday perhaps, a special friendship, happy memories of those days when you and your friends would gather and spend as much time together as possible ... knowing ... that in a few short years ... you would become an adult ... and everything would change.

But what if one of those memories wasn't entirely happy ... what if it was terrifying? What if you'd experienced something that would end up being so burned into your memory, that you couldn't forget it even if you tried?
