This week, we return to the Paranormal with Dr. Robert Gandy as we discuss one of my favourite ghostly subjects, Phantom Hitchhikers. Stories of these ghostly figures span the globe, from the USA, to the UK and South Africa and beyond.
We talk through some of the UK's most unusual and peculiar cases and Dr Gandy discusses his interviews with witnesses throughout the years. We also touch on some well known urban myths.
We cover plenty of cases, but here's some links below in case you want to know more about anything we mention:

For the final show of 2019, we are delighted to welcome back David Weatherly to discuss his latest book, Eerie Companions focussing on the world of Haunted Dolls!
David's book delves into the history of the doll, covering cultures all over the world and how the doll changed from a symbol or warning into a plaything. As the 20th century progressed, several dolls began to gain a reputation of having certain effects on some visitors.
As we know these days, Robert the Doll and Annabelle are probably the most well known, but they are certainly not the only dolls causing the disrepectful to wish they had shown some manners.
Join us for a very creepy converstation and Robert, I meant the situation was weird, not you!

Joining me on the second part of our Halloween special is English author, journalist, lecturer and investigator, Dr David Clarke.
Dr Clarke was the man who got the UK Government to release all its UFO files in the late 90s and early 00s but has covered a wide range of Fortean subjects over the years. We dive into one of the most well known modern ghost stories in the United Kingdom, that of the haunting of Stocksbridge Bypass, near my home town of Sheffield.
Yet the stories didn't begin when the bypass opened, ironically on Friday the 13th in May 1988, they began prior to it opening with construction workers be too scared to work alone or at night and culminated in two police officers having a night they would never forget.
We have exclusive clips from Dr Clarke's interviews with the officers at the time as well as other interviews with additional witnesses over the years. Whilst the modern version of this story seems to be a collection of fabricated experiences, exaggeration, and factually incorrect death tolls, something quite clearly has occurred for some witnesses.
Are you brave enough to separate truth from fiction with us on Halloween?

Would you believe it’s been 34 years since we wrote and recorded the Holidays in Eden album…
Yes of course you can, because you and I both know that a whole heap of stuff had happened since then. But still, 34 years, it does make you stop and think.
Which is of course what I did, when I listened back to it the other day. So for this chapter of TCD (…sorry Lucy) we ar going to talk about side one of HiE heard through ears that are older by three decades and a little more.
And if that wasn’t enough, there is a toe-dipping-opportunity for the non-Purps and a spreadsheet corner update for the rest.

This week, we take a trip back to August 1977 and the beginning of an 18-month nightmare for the Hodgson family, from Enfield in North London.
The Hodgsons found themselves under siege from a malevolent poltergeist who targetted the children and the Enfield Poltergeist case became an overnight sensation. Within days of it starting, SPR member Maurice Grosse arrived and began to record the events.
He would later be joined by renowned poltergeist investigator, Guy Lyon Playfair and together, they would catalogue over 1,500 incidents over a period between September 1977 and April 1979.
We discuss the case, the evidence, the tapes and his new book, "The Enfield Poltergeist Tapes" as well the cases legacy and its place in the pantheon of poltergeist history.
You can purchase the book here:
Alternatively, if you want an autographed copy, you can email [email protected] to enable us to pass on your requests to Dr. Willin.

On this American road trip-themed episode, author Jamie Davis Whitmer takes us from lesser known hauntings in Bisbee, Arizona to her own personal encounter with the spirits of the Stanley Hotel and the Queen Mary. She also lets us in on the dark spiritual encounter that has, at least for now, caused her to step back from writing further books on the paranormal.
Elsewhere, Brennan returns from Minnesota with stories of haunting both there and at home, Ian REALLY likes Red Lobster, and there's a ton of listener mail.
There's also a LOT of food talk.
You can find more about Jamie Davis Whitmer at her blog, "Jamie Davis Writes".

But Phil and Jimmy are about to experience the most terrifying night of their lives, alone in the middle of nowhere.
Is a violent spirit determined to drive them out into the freezing night? Years later, Phil tells Danny Robins his story and about how he researched the house, discovering others had had similar experiences there. What's going on? Danny investigates.

Untimely deaths followed the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter. Coincidence or ancient curse? When the tomb of King Tutankhamun was sealed more than 3000 years ago, it was rumoured to be protected by a curse, which would ruin the life of anyone who disturbed the pharaoh's final resting place. A mere two weeks after the tomb was discovered in 1922, one of the explorers died from a fatal mosquito bite. This wasn't the end of the bad luck, there was more to come... Anthony and Maddy are joined by Egyptologist Campbell Price to unpick fact from fiction, and get to the bottom of one of the most notorious curses in the world.

After a long hiatus The Corpse Cast if finally back for 2025! We're kicking it off with 70's Exploitation Dracleas... I pronounce it that way because back in the 70's I didn't know the difference between Dracula and any Vampires... also I was a child, so I said "Dracleas". Well, it's good I didn't see some of these movies back in the 70's because... well, you know. Anyway, this episode we've got Blood for Dracula (1974), The Satanic rites of Dracula 1973, and Nosferatu, the Vampyre (1979). Come and get it!

In this latest thrilling episode, Mick and Joel pick over the life, loves and legacy of the greatest rock star of them all. The Big Cheese, the full enchilada, the deep-fried cheese burger. Or simply, The King. Elvis Aaron Presley is the pioneer of rock 'n roll. the man who created a road-map for rock stars before rock stars even existed. From a dirt-poor childhood, via a spell as a truck driver and briefly the world's most famous GI, he became the planet's biggest superstar and then its most mysterious recluse. Today, Elvis has taken on such a mythic quality that it's now hard to believe he was actually even a man (and a relatively young one when he died, aged just 42). This is an amazing, but tragic tale; a tale of fierce youth, facile films, fancy jumpsuits, and folly.
