Fright Bites - EP05 - The Last Customer tells the chilling story of a late-night encounter inside a social club in Somerset, where an ordinary closing shift turned into something deeply unsettling. After a busy evening with a live band, Helen and her colleague remained behind to clean up. The building was empty, doors locked, and everything quiet — until she saw an elderly woman slowly crossing the dance floor toward the toilets.

The figure never responded when spoken to and never returned. When Helen and her colleague checked the toilets moments later, they were completely empty. Then came the sound of scraping furniture. Returning to the function room, they discovered a single chair placed in the middle of the dance floor — where nothing had been before. Years later, the manager revealed he had experienced the exact same sequence: an elderly woman walking toward the toilets, followed by a mysteriously moved chair.

This Fright Bites episode explores a classic residual-style haunting set in a quiet Somerset social club. If you’re drawn to true paranormal stories, real ghost encounters, haunted workplaces, mysterious phenomena, and scary stories rooted in witness testimony, The Last Customer delivers a chilling account of something that seemed to repeat the same actions… years apart.

In The Witness Files – Case 02: Behind the Black Windows, a family shares a deeply disturbing true paranormal story from their time living in Tunis, Tunisia, involving shadow figures, oppressive atmospheres, and terrifying unexplained encounters inside a rented house. From the very first viewing, something felt wrong. The windows appeared unnaturally black, like a void, and an overwhelming sense of dread followed them inside.

After moving in, the activity escalated. Mirrors felt dangerous to hang, certain rooms felt suffocating, and sleep became impossible as the witness repeatedly felt something close to her face in the darkness. One day, while alone in the kitchen, she became aware of a powerful presence behind her. Turning around, she saw a large black shadow figure standing inside the house. She fled in terror, only to return to find the hallway freezing cold in the middle of a Tunisian summer.

The haunting intensified with dark figures moving inside the house, pulsing lights, overwhelming fear, and multiple witnesses experiencing the same phenomena. Guests reported seeing shapes moving in the lounge, while a child ran from his bedroom claiming something was crawling over him. The activity left the family emotionally drained and suffering severe anxiety before eventually performing a cleansing and leaving the property.

This episode features a true paranormal encounter, real haunted house story, shadow figures, mysterious phenomena, possible Jinn activity, and chilling first-hand witness testimony.

Fright Bites - EP04 - It Never Stopped Watching tells the chilling story of a teenage encounter that began in a quiet gatehouse and escalated into something far more unsettling. While staying at a friend’s house opposite Strawberry Fields, Jack Henderson experienced strange activity that at first seemed easy to dismiss — footsteps with no one there, noises from the loft, and objects that appeared to move on their own. But everything changed during a summer evening near the abandoned school building nearby.

After racing toward the empty school grounds, Jack fell in the car park and looked up toward one of the upper windows. What he saw was a black shape standing perfectly still, watching him. The figure didn’t move. It didn’t disappear. It simply remained there, creating a moment of intense dread that left him frozen in place. The experience would become something he could never fully explain.

In this episode, we dive into deeply unsettling experiences shared by those who have found themselves awake but unable to move, often accompanied by shadowy figures, oppressive presences, and the overwhelming sense that something is in the room.

In Dark Matters – EP01: The Owlman of Mawnan, we examine one of Britain’s strangest cryptid sightings — a winged humanoid reportedly seen above St Mawnan Church in Cornwall. This chilling case blends true paranormal stories, strange creature encounters, cryptid folklore, and real witness testimony that continues to blur the line between legend and unexplained reality.

Beginning in 1976, multiple witnesses described a large owl-like humanoid with glowing red eyes, massive wings, and clawed hands perched near the church tower. One sighting involved two sisters who later produced a drawing that helped shape the enduring image of the Owlman. Months later, another report described a hissing sound followed by a winged figure lifting into the air and disappearing over the trees. These real unexplained encounters cemented the Owlman as one of the UK’s most enduring paranormal mysteries.

The case is further complicated by connections to Tony “Doc” Shiels, a controversial figure linked to occult folklore, hoaxes, and strange phenomena. This adds another layer to a mystery involving cryptid sightings, winged creatures, British folklore, and a location long associated with eerie atmosphere and unexplained events.

This episode explores a true paranormal case, British cryptid, winged humanoid sightings, mysterious phenomena, and one of the most famous strange creature encounters in UK paranormal history.

After caring for a woman named Doris during her final days, the witness later visits the family home to check on her grieving husband. While sitting in the dining room overlooking the garden, she notices movement outside — and then sees Doris, alive, healthy, and walking through the garden she loved.

The figure was not transparent or shadow-like, but completely solid and lifelike. Doris steps from the greenhouse, smiles, waves toward the house, and walks toward a seating area before disappearing.

The Witness Files – Case 01: Waiting on the Other Side begins a new series exploring deeply personal true paranormal stories centred on presence, connection, and the possibility that love may continue beyond death. Sent in by Jenny, this case spans generations, wartime London, a haunted fire station in Bethnal Green, and a promise made between two people that may never have been broken.

The story begins with Jenny’s mother, who as a young girl in Peckham during the Second World War, experienced unexplained voices in her bedroom — two women speaking in a language she could not understand. Years later, after moving into a fire station flat in 1950s London, further strange activity followed. Objects moved, a man was heard whistling along to wartime songs, and a child described a figure standing at the end of the bed during storms. Even scepticism within the family would later soften when others admitted to sensing a presence in the flat.

The account then moves forward to experiences after Jenny’s father passed away — sightings in a cathedral, an electronic game seemingly playing by itself, and a powerful message delivered through a medium. At the heart of it all is a promise made decades earlier: that whichever one passed first would wait for the other. If you’re drawn to true paranormal stories, after-death communication, spiritual encounters, and emotional witness testimony, The Witness Files – Case 01: Waiting on the Other Side is a moving story about love, memory, and the possibility that some connections never truly end.

In Fright Bites – EP00: The Woman on the Path, a chilling true ghost story unfolds inside a locked botanical garden during a winter evening patrol. A teenage witness accompanies his father, a security officer, as they carry out their routine checks, locking gates and ensuring no visitors remain inside the park. As darkness settles, a torch beam catches sight of an elderly woman walking slowly along the path ahead.

They call out to her, explaining the gates are locked and offering to escort her out. She does not respond. As they move quickly to catch up, she rounds a bend in the path — and disappears completely. The pair search every path and clearing, but the woman is gone without a trace. No footsteps, no movement, no explanation.

Later, the father reveals something even more unsettling. He and other security staff had witnessed the same figure on multiple occasions, always walking the same path and vanishing in the same place. This transforms the experience into a disturbing shared ghost encounter and a possible residual haunting tied to the location.

This episode features a true paranormal story, real ghost encounter, vanishing apparition, haunted park, and chilling first-hand witness testimony. A short, eerie scary story about seeing something that should not exist — and the lasting fear that follows.

In Episode 71 – Near Death Experiences Part 1, we explore chilling real near-death experiences (NDEs) and accounts from people who came dangerously close to death — and claim they saw what lies beyond. These true paranormal stories blur the line between life and death, featuring unexplained consciousness, out-of-body experiences, and encounters described as glimpses of the afterlife.

One of the most compelling cases involves neurosurgeon Eben Alexander, who fell into a deep coma after a rare and devastating brain infection. As his condition worsened, doctors reported no brain activity, no pupil response, and no signs of recovery. Life support kept his body alive, but medically, the outlook was grim. Yet during this period, Alexander later described vivid experiences that he believed took place while he was clinically unconscious — raising disturbing questions about consciousness, death, and what may exist beyond.

This episode examines true near-death experiences, afterlife encounters, out-of-body experiences, real paranormal testimony, and mysterious phenomena reported by people who briefly crossed the boundary between life and death. Are these visions the brain’s final response, or evidence of something beyond physical reality?

A chilling collection of true paranormal stories, NDE accounts, and unexplained experiences from people who came face-to-face with death — and returned with stories they cannot explain.

In The Ghost Within and Other Listeners’ Stories, we share chilling true paranormal stories from listeners who experienced disturbing hauntings, unexplained sensations, and persistent supernatural activity. These real ghost storiesexplore the frightening space where fear, the unknown, and possible poltergeist activity collide.

One of the central accounts, The Ghost Within, follows a witness whose experiences began in the bedroom at night but gradually spread into everyday life. What started as unsettling incidents became a pattern of strange crawling and shuffling sensations, unexplained disturbances, and an overwhelming sense that something unseen was drawing closer. After considering ordinary explanations such as an old house, wind, sleep paralysis, and hypnagogia, the witness was left wondering whether a poltergeist or unwanted spirit was responsible.

What makes this episode especially unsettling is the way fear itself appears to feed the activity. The more frightened the witness became, the worse the experiences seemed to get, turning an already disturbing haunting into something deeply personal and psychologically intense. It is a chilling example of how real paranormal encounters, ghostly phenomena, and unexplained activity can affect both mind and environment.

This episode features true paranormal stories, real ghost encounters, poltergeist activity, hauntings, unexplained phenomena, and chilling listener-submitted scary stories from people who experienced something they still cannot explain.

The Haunted UK Podcast is proud to be involved with this very special 'Podcast Episode Swap' with the excellent Macabrium Podcast.

Macabrium is a podcast for anyone drawn to the dark side of humanity, the shadows of crime, and the legends and ghost stories that blur the line between truth and myth. Every Tuesday we share stories that are as unsettling as they are unforgettable, weaving together fact, folklore, and imagination.

Hosted by artists (actors Megan Alda and Derek Stephen Brown) who wanted a way to connect and share stories that matter and leave an impact, Macabrium is fueled by curiosity and a love of storytelling. These are the tales that stay with us whether they come from old case files, folklore, or histories that don't make it into textbooks. They approach each story with care, honouring the people and experiences at the center of these narratives.

Macabrium is more than exploring the mysterious and the disturbing. It is about the impact stories have on us and the conversations they spark. It is a space for listeners who want to reflect, connect, and perhaps feel a chill or two along the way.

Today, we have episode "115. Treacherous Seas: A Mystery in the Graveyard of the Atlantic"

There are ships that vanish without a trace... and then there are ships that turn up when they shouldn't. The Carroll A. Deering was one of those. A five-masted schooner, found run aground off the Outer Banks in 1921, her crew gone without explanation. No distress call, no goodbye, nothing Some say it was mutiny, others say pirates, and a few still wonder if something far stranger was at play…..

Enjoy the episode, and be sure to follow the Macabrium Podcast - https://macabriumpod.com/ -
