In this episode, we take another dive into religious hauntings.

One of our first episodes looked at religion and exorcisms. Today, we explore the infamous sightings of The Virgin Mary at Lourdes in France by Saint Bernadette, who was a local girl thrust into religious cult status after allegedly seeing visions of Mary in a small grotto. This location has since become a site of pilgrimage for Roman Catholics worldwide. Did Bernadette really witness visions of The Holy Mary?

Then we take a brief look at the phenomenon of stigmata and discuss whether devout Christians can really develop wounds in their hands and feet out of thin air that mirror Jesus' crucifixion injuries.

Lastly, we look at the notorious Borley Rectory, England's most haunted location allegedly. We hear about phantom coaches, ghostly nuns and a headless monk as we get back to all things spooky.

In this episode, we're back after a Summer off and we're diving headfirst into all things conspiracy.

We explore musical, outlandish theories, such as the Paul is Dead rumour. Was Paul McCartney of iconic Beatles fame killed in a tragic car accident in 1966 and quickly replaced with a lookalike to ensure the band weren't prevented from reaching global superstardom? Did remaining band members then hide clues to Paul's demise within their music and album artwork?

We then discuss the internet theory that Avril Lavigne actually died in the early 2000s just as her career as a pop punk princess was taking off and was replaced by her lookalike, Melissa.

We finish off with a chat about the conspiracy theory around industry plants within showbusiness, acts manufactured by corporations to earn quick revenue and to potentially keep the youth away from any revolutionary-leaning mavricks.

In this episode, we dive into all things demonic dolls.

Firstly, we discuss why the fear of dolls is such a common phobia. We also look at The island of the Dolls in Mexico, a deserted island made up of terrifying, eerie dolls in their thousands, left abandoned as an offering to the spirit of a drowned girl.

We then tell the tale of Robert the Doll, carefully divulging his tale as not to cause offence to the main man himself. If you offend Robert, he will curse you...so we tread carefully here...just in case.

Lastly, how could we discuss demonic dolls without mentioning the diva herself, Annabelle the doll. This one is well known but still fascinating to discover.

In this episode, we explore the horrifying murders of the Defeo family by one of their own in the notorious Amityville house. We then look at the alleged haunting of the house as experienced by The Lutz family, including demonic pigs and hooded spirits.

Is the Amityville house really plagued by demonic forces? We'll leave that up to you to decide.

In this episode, we explore the theories behind two iconic mysteries.

Firstly, we discuss the missing colony of Roanoke. What happened to these early settlers in the new world? Was it aliens or something far more down to earth that led to their disappearance?

Then, we set sail on The Mary Celeste, debating what fate met the crew and young family of the captain onboard. The ghost ship was found cast adrift with everything left as if the people onboard had just instantly vanished.

We also dive into the folklore surrounding Hell Hounds and their prevalence in British tales.

Finally, we discuss the theory of satanism amongst A-Listers, such as Jay Z, Beyonce and Lady Gaga. Have they made similar deals with the devil to become global superstars?

In the episode, we cover a range of stories from the lore behind Harbingers to world tragedies.

Firstly, we discuss the awful story of The Moorgate Tube crash in the mid 70s, London. We examine reports of those who believe a phantom workman was seen in the days preceding the tragedy. Was this spirit there to warn of the crash.

We then look at the legend of Mothman. In a small town in West Virginia, USA, there is a legend of a moth-like, humanoid creature who has been seen before major tragedies strike. We hear of Mothman being seen before a deadly bridge collapse, at Chernobyl in the days before the infamous nuclear disaster and even in NYC just before 9/11.

We hear of other ghosts too seen just before and after tragic events. Do you believe these creatures are here to warn us?

In this episode of Ghosts, Creatures and Scares oh my, we explore the historical crimes of two of America's alleged first serial killers: HH Holmes and Lavinia Fisher.

In the late 1800s, HH Holmes terrorised the streets of Chicago. Legend says he murdered up to 200 people in his booby-trapped, elaborately sadistic murder house, giving him the moniker of America's first serial killer.

We discuss his crimes and the infamous murder house. Lastly, we explore the story of America's first female serial killer, Lavinia Fisher. Operating from a remote, roadside inn on the back roads of South Carolina in the early 1800s, Lavinia lured many unfortunate travellers to their doom for financial reward. Legend says that her angry spirit still haunts the lonely roads at night looking for her next victim.
