It's another windy, rainy night by the campfire for us. But there's no better place to tell some spooky stories! That's why so many ghost story podcasts have some kind of 'campfire' name or variation—we may not be the most original, but we have some killer stories this episode. First, we discuss whether ghosts really love chairs as much as they seem to (and why!) and then we move on to a good old fashioned haunted bedroom story. Take a seat, warm your hands, don't get too wet. We're also talking...

The first episode of The Ghoul Club in 2023. We're back, baby! What an amazing time we've had so far—and we're going to see the year out with a couple of our favourite spooky, scary stories. We talk about the 1992 BBC Halloween Special, Ghostwatch, and then reopen one of our bitesize episodes to comb over the story in greater detail. We also discuss wasting ketchup, the sting of betrayal, and the word "slit". We can't wait to see you back in the clubhouse! Don't forget to send your stories or Pa...

The Ghoul Club is back for more in 2023! Join us around the fire for some dark and haunting tales. What would you prefer: A floating shadowy silhouette or an unidentifiable ghostly voice? Don't worry, we've got both. And we're also helping someone tap into the potential of "Sex Magic" in this episode's Paranormal Problem. Make yourself comfortable, toast a marshmallow, and take off your clothes—it's ghoulin' time. Please join us in our clubhouse as well, and send your stories or problems to theg...

Telling a scary ghost story on Christmas Eve is an old tradition that isn't as fashionable as it used to be. That's why we're attempting to revive the old tradition with "Daphne Slits 2 Arrival at Cummington Manor: The Return of Maud." We know you have questions. Is there a "Daphne Slits 1"? No. Has it been inspired by romance novels? Yes, heavily. Will I be scared? You'll have to be the judge of that... Merry Christmas from The Ghoul Club xoxo We're craving your spooky stories at theghoulclubpo...

It's almost Christmas, so here's a festively themed episode. We start off during Christmas of that good old year 1929, when a terrible tragedy struck a small town. Then we take a trip to Canaan, Vermont, where the Cohen family were haunted every Christmas by a mysterious returning spirit. We also discuss having a "horrorsome" Christmas, the difference between "Last Christmas" and "White Christmas", and a black hole where a vagina should be. Join us for some festive cheer! Visit the clubhouse any...

Welcome back to the campfire. We're keeping it brief today with a couple of short but memorable listener stories. Has a ghost ever interrupted you during sex? Have you ever found a demonic children's book that then deleted itself from existence? Probably not, unless you're the two listeners who wrote into us this week. And in this episode's Paranormal Problem, we help someone solve their dry vagina with ghosts. Don't forget to visit the clubhouse and submit your story or Paranormal Problem to th...

We're off to London today, at the suggestion of one of our listeners, to tell you some spooky tales from The Big Smoke. We begin with the story of a succulent scholar who summons the demonic Black Dog of Newgate, then we take one step closer to hell and visit the ghosts of the London Underground. We also talk cow anuses, feeling like a million pounds, and casual sex. Visit us in the clubhouse , and send us your Campfire Ghouls story to [email protected] (or your paranormal problems!)...

Welcome to Campfire Ghouls! We're taking a few tentative steps out of the clubhouse and into the surrounding woodland so that we can set up a campfire and tell some ghost stories and tales of creepy encounters. We're also introducing a new (parody) segment called Paranormal Problems, where we play agony aunts to some spooky, sexy, spectral situations. If you would like to submit a ghost story or a paranormal problem (real or fictional!) please email us at [email protected] — and don'...

Ever been ghosted by a spirit on a Ouija board? We have. One minute it's all fun and games, then it becomes extremely steamy, and then they're gone without so much as a goodbye. But it's the Ouija board that brings us to this episode, which is all about terrifying brushes with the mystic oracle. We kick things off with Zozo, the Ouija Board Demon, and the frightening games he plays; then we move to a story of a brush with something familial but terrifying. We also discuss when it's okay to be "s...

Pizza, pasta, gelato, mozzarella, calzone... Italy is known for amazing foods. Also, is Super Mario considered to be more Italian or Japanese? Sorry, we're getting side tracked. In this episode, we talk about Italian ghosts—from the tragic story of Beatrice Cenci to the dark history of Poveglia Island. There are a lot of dark things to discuss. We also talk about Italian accents, the right circumstances to kill someone, and tiny mouths. Bring something Italian and come join us! You can visit us ...

You take the blue pill: the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill: you stay in the Clubhouse and we show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. And by "rabbit-hole", we obviously mean our sex chimneys. But today we're talking about glitches in the simulation, or breaks in reality that make you question the world we're living in. We also discuss shooting pens out of your anus, letting someone else borrow your body for a day, and Jennie in ...

History is full of terrifying vampires: Dracula, Elizabeth Bathory, Nosferatu, Edward Cullen, The Count from Sesame Street. Even more recently it's been "morbin' time" everywhere you look. But we're talking about some vampires that are a little more… dare we say "ghoulish"? We start off with a story about a vampiric haunting at Highgate Cemetery in London, and then move on to the unbelievable story of Arnold Paole. We also discuss where exactly you're supposed to put a wooden stake, the best pla...

Welcome to The Ghoul Club Hotel. We have an indefinable number of rooms, some colourful live-in guests, and plenty of Demon Juice to go around. We'll sit you down and tell you all about The Witchery by the Castle in Edinburgh, followed by the horrors of The Langham Hotel in London. We also discuss inventive ways to say that you've forgotten something, the meaning of the phrase "open your wee bealey", and of course more hilarious misfired attempts at various accents. We hope you enjoy your stay! ...

Things get sexy, embarrassing, and downright weird in the clubhouse during our second sleepover. We were truly honoured to be joined by the beyond-charming host of Real Life Ghost Stories, Emma, who wasn't afraid to get down and dirty with us. We also talk about ghosts, obviously! And our conversation was full of twists, turns, and eroticism. We just hope Emma didn't leave unsatisfied… Don't forget to visit the clubhouse !

Femme fatales, women who kill, white ladies, killer queens. We're talking about women who are aware enough of their feminine wiles to commit atrocious acts of violence this week—so, basically, we're just talking about Jennie. But we do also talk about the Granny Ripper, which is just as wild and ridiculous as it sounds, and then about the curse of La Sayona, who may be our sexiest ghoul yet. We also talk about sad salads, older women in the porn industry, and supernatural soap operas. People of ...

Happy Halloween! We've got something extra special for you today. Together, we were given the incredible chance to visit a small village in Devon and stay at Tavener House. These days, it's a small, beautiful, unassuming manor house—but it comes with a rich, dark history and more than its fair share of ghosts. We'll tell you all about the tragedies that have befallen this place and maybe, just maybe, catch some spooky ghost activity. Buckle up; it's a wild one. Once we're dead, come find our gho...

HALLOWEEN IS UPON US! Honestly, the ghosts and demons that live in our clubhouse have been acting wild—juices everywhere. And, in the spirit of this time of year, our theme this week is Halloween itself!! We talk about a girly sleepover in the 90s in which a game of The Three Mirrors went horribly wrong, then we move on to a brief story about candy and murder, before finishing up with The Man Who Killed Halloween. We also discuss Halloween costume woes, fingering yourself, and whether déjà vu ap...

It's the spookiest time of year. The veil between our world and The Further grows ever-thinner. And the ghosts that haunt our houses are so close they can almost reach out and touch us. In honour of this F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S time of year, we're taking a step into one of the most classic ghostly themes: haunted houses. We start with the bizarre stories and unusual hauntings of the S.K. Pierce Mansion before moving on to a first-hand account of a woman who grew up in a haunted house, inhabited by the s...

It's the first ever movie night in The Ghoul Club and we've got something a little bit different for you. We're celebrating the 20th anniversary of the release of The Ring . It might be a remake of a Japanese film based on a Japanese novel, but it achieved the impossible by surpassing its predecessors and has become one of the most easily recognisable horror films of all time. Yes, Kyle is writing this and YES, I know I'm biased since it's my favourite horror movie; but also Jennie had never see...

Do you wanna play a game? Well, we love a bit of Scrabble or Uno or Monopoly... but that's not the kind of games we're talking about in the clubhouse this week. We start off with The Midnight Game, in which you summon an evil entity to play Hide and Seek with, and then we go on to talk about The Corner Game, in which an empty room with four corners can become a truly terrifying place. We also talk about being jarred by Jennifer, knuckle jobs, and the choice of tinned spaghetti on a jacket potato...

Ee-eye, ee-eye-oh no! Things are getting pretty spooky down on the farm in this episode. Old MacDonald may not have any cows or pigs, but he certainly has a sex addiction and a demon living in his attic. But we're not talking about that in this episode, we're talking about Burnt House Farm and the twisty-turny events surrounding it, followed by a story about Australia's most haunted house, the Monte Cristo Homestead. We also give you the cringe with our Australian accents and discuss slimy finge...

Well, we're finally hosting sleepovers in the clubhouse, and we're so excited to share the shenanigans with you! Our first ever guest is artist, illustrator, and ceramicist Scotty Gillespie. We discuss a couple of Scotty's paranormal experiences, ask them about their favourite spooky movie and video game, and ask the question on everybody's lips: Have you had—and, if not, would you have—sex with a ghost? We also discuss the antics of nightmarish cartoon lions, the fear instilled in a grown adult...

Have you ever had the itch to discover what dark secrets might lie behind the town you live in? Well, we certainly have. And that's what led us to this week's theme. We start off with Kyle in Falmouth, where we learn about the ghosts of Pendennis Castle; then we go to Dawlish (sort of) with Jennie and learn about the ghosts of Powderham Castle. We also debate Henry VIII's eligibility as the poster-child of "curves = coins", talk about Jennie's place in the LGBTQIA+ community, and reveal the secr...

We're quite literally standing on Autumn's doorstep, which means Spooky Season is well and truly upon us. To celebrate the arrival of our favourite time of year, we're embracing Spooky Season with some Spooky Scary Skeletons that will hopefully send some shivers down your spine. We start this week with a story about a washed-up cabaret singer with some skeletons in her closet, and then go on to talk about a skeletal entity in the woods that might be trying to tell people something. We also talk ...

Aren't children just the worst? Sorry, we mean: adorable. Well, not the ones that we're talking about this week as we delve into some creepy stories centred entirely around children. We start with the story of a family whose children are haunted by a naughty boy, and then move on to the disturbing story of Retta McCabe, one of the youngest murderesses in history. We also revisit the topic of ghost pubes, discuss whether or not a newborn baby could commit murder, and dive into what it looks like ...

Have you ever looked at your bureau and wondered if it harbours an evil spirit? Or felt like there was something demonic watching you from inside your favourite chiffonier? Well, then this episode is for you because we're talking about haunted and/or cursed pieces of furniture! We start off with a green-eyed flame-haloed old woman who terrifies children in their bunkbeds, and then move on to the Dead Man's Chair—an unsuspecting piece of oak furniture that seemingly kills everyone who sits in it....

"Sortes qui facit." — You have sealed your fate. Have you ever felt like you weren't alone in an otherwise empty room? As if unseen eyes were watching you? Or a chill on the back of your neck? Yeah, that was probably a demon. And for our unlucky 13th episode, we're taking a deep plunge into hell and going all demonic. We start with a haunting in Springfield, Louisiana, where a home renovation turns terrifyingly evil and then we move on to a disturbing and deadly possession in Ossett, West Yorksh...

Even ghosts get papped, you know! That's right—not even death can save you from the prying lens of a paparazzo's camera. And that's why, this week, we're looking into curious cases of ghosts caught on camera. We start with an unexpected photobomb in an ultrasound, then move on to a photo of a jealous ghost who just wanted to be included; and we finish with an unwanted visitor in a haunted Toys "R" Us in the 1970s. We also talk about ghost tampons, the missteps of early 2000s fashion, and neglect...

Well, we may not be talking about those urban legends this week, but we've still got some juicy ones for you to sink your razor-sharp teeth into. We start with the one about the breakdown on a foggy country road, and then move on to the one about the liver. But we're not done yet! We also discuss the one about the melon heads and finally the one about the dead children's playground. We al...

We're asking who, what, where, when, and why this week in the clubhouse! That's right, we've stepped away from the ghostly this week to tackle another ghoulish topic... mysterious unexplained and/or unsolved deaths. Get your skin crawling with the story of the Atlas Vampire before learning about a strange toilet-related fatality in the village of Miyakoji. We cap things off with the disturbing Hinterkaifeck murders. We also discuss a preference for au naturel or shaved, tangents into the history...
