How Haunted? Podcast | Horrible Histories, Real Life Ghost Stories, and Paranormal Investigations from Some of the Most Haunted Places on Earth

Below Edinburgh’s famous Royal Mile lies a historic close that was once a thriving community in it’s own right, open to the skies above, and named, unusually for the 17th century for a woman who was the most successful businesswoman here until her death in 1644. The building of the Royal Exchange in the 18th century spelled the end for this place, and it would be, eventually, buried beneath the city streets, lost and unused. The close became shrouded in myths and urban legends; with terrifying tales of the ghosts that remain at the close they knew so well in life.

When it was opened as a tourist attraction in 2003, it found new levels of infamy, and is now regarded as one of the most haunted places, in an incredibly haunted city.

I investigated this location in 2012 while writing my book Ghosts of Edinburgh. Find out exactly what happened on that dark October evening, as tonight. join me as we once again venture below the streets of Edinburgh.

Let's find out together when we ask How Haunted is Mary King's Close?

One of London’s best-known cemeteries, in fact it’s considered one of London’s magnificent seven Victorian graveyards. Dating back to 1839, there are believed to be around 170,000 bodies buried beneath the ground here. This graveyard has earned a frightning reputation in more recent years with stories of men clad in all black conducting dark rituals here. Spooks and specters flit about quickly between the 53,000 gravestones, and red eyed demons call this place home. Then most famously of all is the vampire that preys on its victims here, in England’s capital.

Let's find out together, when we ask How Haunted is Highgate Cemetery?

Huge thanks to Della Farrant for helping to clarify some aspects of the Highgate Vampire case for me, and talking to me about her research into haunted Highgate.

The only Victorian era prison still standing in the city of Belfast in Northern Ireland, was once known as Europe’s Alcatraz. Dating from 1845, this was a place of incarceration and execution. It closed in 1996 and ever since visitors have reported all manner of paranormal occurrences such as things moving of their own accord, voices from empty cells, and ghosts have been seen and photographed. It is considered one of the most haunted placed in this capital city, but is it worthy of such a reputation?

Tonight, join me as we dare to enter the empty, silent prison of Crumlin Road Gaol.

Huge thanks to Jenny Boanca for telling me all about her visit to the haunted prison in this episode.
