Turns out there really is a conspiracy. They really are out to get you. They know where you live. And they’re coming for you. Traditionally, you have to be dead to be a ghost. But today we have new types of ghoul. They’re not supernatural, they’re not paranormal, they’re people who share the same spaces with us, but live in a completely different reality. Where the rules are different, and everything is connected. They’re still alive, but they’re hard to reach. Because the world they’ve made, casts them as heroes, and the rest of us, we’re the lost and the damned. Patrons help to keep this U ..read more

It’s a family heirloom. Her sister doesn’t deserve it. So she’s keeping it for herself. And it doesn’t matter what the voices say… Ghosts come most often when we’re vulnerable, and there are few times when we’re more vulnerable to the supernatural than when we’re in mourning. When we’re contemplating not just who we’ve lost, but our own mortality. Why wouldn’t we want to reach out to something beyond, and hope that there is an afterlife. And that we don’t just all fade to nothing. Patrons help to keep this UK horror podcast going. If you'd like to become one, just visit https://www.patreon.c ..read more

Never upset a man with a great memory. You’ll never forget what happens next. This unforgettable episode of the podcast is another tale from the weird section of the archive.

If the man at the centre of all this has some supernatural gift, how come he’s in this situation, performing to a hostile audience?

I did a reading recently for The Daily Ghost, who writes a ghost story for every day of the year. He's raising money for First Story, a charity that promotes creative writing in schools. In this story, two ex-soldiers go hunting at night for a vicious beast. Find out more at patreon.com/dailyghost ..read more

“We had now some discussion as to the propriety and feasibility of awakening him; but we had little difficulty in agreeing that no good purpose would be served by so doing. It was evident that, so far, death (or what is usually termed death) had been arrested by the mesmeric process…” This classic gothic tale of mad science ended up being a bit of a challenge to complete for the podcast. Not just because of my 'American accent' (hope it work for you), but also because I got a sore throat soon after I did the recording, and my mic software started playing up. This made it difficult to finish a ..read more

It’s the season of good will. Everyone’s supposed to get along. And not get into arguments. Or settle old scores… Revenge is a dish best served sweet in this year’s ghost story for Christmas. There is something wonderful about the festive season, the way it helps us to renew connections with the people we care about. But connections can come with baggage. And when it’s family, love can often be tinged with hate. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and hope yours doesn’t become as strange and frightening as this one.

A crime has been committed. A guilty man has been identified. But will the punishment fit the crime? Many a ghost story revolves around acts of injustice. An act of evil is committed, and then a terrifying, chilling act of supernatural vengeance is enacted to right it. But justice is a slippery thing. We may revel in seeing an act of revenge be carried out, but are we forgetting to ask whether that revenge is appropriate? Did the victim really deserve what happened to them?
