That evening my two colleagues had gone back to the room and I got chatting to the night manager who was probably in his 80’s at the time. He was ex-servicemen with a lot of stories, and his family apparently used to own the whole estate, but he sold it and just stayed on when his wife passed away. After a few drinks and a chat, I had told him about what had happened in our room the previous night. What he told me sent shivers down my spine. This is Episode 70 – Part 4 – of our listeners’ storie...

On the 6th of September 2025, I was given exclusive access to one of the most notorious and historically charged locations in Britain… Oxford Castle & Prison.A site that has stood for nearly a thousand years. A fortress. A prison. A place of execution. And, according to many who work within its ancient walls, a place where the past may not be entirely at rest. After sitting down for interviews with members of the team, hearing firsthand accounts of unexplained experiences from those who know...

“When I was in my teens, one of my friends lived in an old farmhouse on a road named after the original owner, Seth Morehouse. One evening, we were in her room and the radiator started gurgling. My friend said, “Seth is here.” The words were barely out of her mouth when her closet door opened. She told Seth that it was ok, that he could come out, and the door swung shut. Her closet was located in the eaves of the old house; it was fairly large and ran in a narrow space parallel to her bedroom wa...

Most of these events occurred in my bedroom at night, but increasingly I had minor experiences out and about in daytime, such as faint crawling and shuffling sensations on my head and face. I tried on all the ‘normal’ explanations – creaking old house, wind, sleep paralysis, hypnogogia, etc. – but none of them were a fit for most of what I experienced. I was left to conclude that I had a poltergeist. Believing that ghosts or unwanted spirits were the cause of the problem and watching ghost-relat...

‘Dad was moved into a private room as he was declining in health. Due to the medication being administered, he was sleeping more and more.

A bead of sweat careered down the dome of his forehead like a wet cockroach. Slapping his head and rubbing frenziedly, he squeezed his eyes tight shut and groaned quietly. What to do? What to do? When he re-opened his bleary eyes, his heart lurched. In wiping the sweat from his brow, he must have caught the curtains, and they had parted more widely. A good six or seven inches. Blinking his vision back into focus, he saw the dark invaders stop dead where they were; a tableau from some obscene pan...

After a few seconds, we all decided it was time for bed. The next morning, we went for breakfast in the restaurant – which was on the floor above the bar and directly over it. I quickly established that the restaurant and the kitchen adjoining it were indeed sited directly above the bar so the noises must have come from there. One of the waitresses saw me looking closely at doors and ceilings, she stopped what she was doing, smiled and said, ‘ You ’ re looking for our poltergeist aren’t you? ’ …...

It was then that Colin noticed that the aerial lead to the television was moving – not just small movements either – but as if someone had physically took one end and whipped it up and down. This went on for a short while, leaving an already frightened Elaine, totally terrified ... then everything stopped as quickly as it had started. C...
