This Is A Ghost Story – Details, episodes & analysis

In Episode 2 of This Is A Ghost Story, Kathryn and Alison share one of the most unsettling stories they’ve ever been told — a terrifying encounter from the height of the 2020 lockdowns.

Set inside a quiet assisted living residence in a sleepy Home Counties market town in England, “The Lockdown Story” follows the true story of Kathryn and Alison's mum, a care worker who during the Covid-19 pandemic witnessed something disturbing with one of her clients. She and other staff were left shaken. And one chilling phrase still echoes years later…

During a time when the world already felt uncertain, something else may have been lurking behind closed doors.

Producer Andrew also dives into the research behind the case, exploring paranormal theories, crisis hauntings, and why periods of fear and trauma so often seem linked to unexplained experiences.

Expect eerie atmosphere, discussion, and the kind of story that will make you think twice the next time you hear footsteps in an empty hallway.

Headphones recommended.

Episode 1: The Cyprus Story

In 1969, a young British soldier stationed in Cyprus walked into an abandoned hospital… and experienced something he would never forget.

Strange noises.

Swinging doors.

A presence that shouldn’t have been there.

In this debut episode of This Is A Ghost Story, sisters Kathryn and Alison share a chilling account passed down from their late father’s time serving with the 3rd Royal Anglian Regiment. What begins as a routine moment quickly turns into something far more unsettling—an encounter that has lingered for decades.

With research from producer Andrew, we dig into the possible real-life locations behind the story, exploring abandoned military hospitals and forgotten burial grounds that may hold more than just history.

Was it imagination… or something truly unexplained?

In November 1979, three young men stood beside a broken-down car on the outskirts of Paris… and within hours, one of them would vanish without a trace.

A week later, he returned.

But to him, only minutes had passed.

In Episode 3 of This Is A Ghost Story, Kathryn, Alison and producer Andrew dive into one of Europe’s most chilling and controversial alien encounter cases — The Cergy-Pontoise Abduction.

Was Franck Fontaine really taken aboard an unidentified craft? Was it an elaborate hoax? Or did something genuinely unexplainable happen in the freezing darkness outside Paris in 1979?

From missing time and mysterious lights to hypnosis, media frenzy and lingering unanswered questions, the team unravel a story that still divides UFO researchers to this day.

Expect eerie narration, unsettling discussion, and Andrew’s research breakdown into what has been uncovered about the case since it first shocked France.

👽 Missing time. 👽 UFO encounters. 👽 A vanished week nobody could explain.

This… is a ghost story.
