    Oct 31 2022

    ALL Eps Available on globalplayer.com or download the Global Player app NOW!

    Rachel visits North Wales to spend the night in a haunted hotel. The hotel is a former castle, a place where prisoners were tortured, where countless violent acts occurred. Room 222 is so haunted that a porter is employed on 24 hour watch to move guests in emergencies.

    Can rachel last the night? And what will she see?

    Rachel Fairburn has a lifelong passion: the supernatural. She’s read the stories, seen the horror movies, and been ignored by the iconic ghost hunters, it’s time to really live the supernatural. In her new podcast, Ghoul Guide, Rachel meets a storyteller who will tell her the spookiest stories connected to a location; and then she’ll spend the night in those haunted places. The twist is - only one of the spooky stories is really local folklore, and the other two are scripted inventions by some of Britain’s best horror writers - and it’s down to Rachel and (the audience) to pick which is the real story out of the three chilling tales as the sun rises.
