In the 16th Patreon bonus podcast we head into the remote Northumberland countryside, and to former hunting lodge built in 1775 that stands in the largest man-made woodland in England at 250 square miles, famed for its dark skies.

But what would happen when my team and I stepped foot inside this 18th century castle? In this episode not only will I tell you all about the location and our investigation, but you’ll hear actual audio from the night itself.

Tonight, let us head to the darkest place in England, and ask the question, just how haunted is Kielder Castle?

Christmas is here once again, and in this – the third annual Nightmare Before Christmas special I will once again read real ghost stories from listeners, and there’ll also be a number of very special polterguests dropping by to tell you of their own scary experiences, in their own words.

So, let us get this year’s Nightmare Before Christmas underway.

Thanks so much to Beverley Oxford, Jenny Desira, Richard Knapper, Steve Lindon, Sarah Hions, Emma Johnson, and Kelly for taking the time in send in their stories, as without you taking the time to do this there would be no Christmas special. Thank you.

Also enormous thanks goes to the polterguests who were so generous with their time in speaking to me.

In the 28th Patreon bonus podcast you join me in the remote Northumbrian countryside at a pele tower dating from the 14th century. I join Spiritus Paranormal for a paranormal investigation, and I’m taking you along with me. This is a bumper version of the two-part special which formed episodes 87 and 88 of the podcast back in September. You’re going to hear so, so much more of what happened that night in the longest episode of How Haunted? I’ve created to date.

Tonight lets ask together, just how haunted is Cresswell Pele Tower?
