The Darkling Chronicles - Real life ghost stories

Becky
Society & Culture

Iā€™ve always loved a good ghost story, and apparently, so do all of you because my TikTok blew up with the wildest, creepiest real-life experiences people have shared. This podcast is just me, reading the stories youā€™ve sent in, chatting about the weird stuff that happens when no oneā€™s watching, and maybe freaking myself out along the way. If you love the paranormal, the unexplainable, or just fancy a spooky story while you do the dishes, youā€™re in the right place. Letā€™s get into it.

  • 41 - #041 - The Secret World of Your Dreams | Premonitions, Trance & The Creative Essence šŸŒ™

    What if our dreams are trying to tell us more than we realise?

    In this slightly different episode of The Darkling Chronicles, I sit down with Elliot for a fascinating conversation about dreams, consciousness, premonitions, spirituality and the bigger questions surrounding life and our experiences.

    Elliot explains how he uses trance to explore dreams, going beyond the obvious imagery to search for deeper meaning and consider what our dreams might be showing us about situations we're experiencing in waking life.

    We also explore the idea of connecting with a higher power or deeper source of guidance, particularly when we're facing difficult situations or searching for answers in our lives.

    And the conversation certainly doesn't stop at dreams. šŸ‘€

    We talk about premonitions, aliens, the creative essence, life, spirituality and the teachings of Silver Birch, along with plenty of other wonderfully strange places our conversation takes us.

    šŸ”® DREAM & PREMONITION WORKSHOPS

    Elliot runs workshops exploring dreams and premonitions, including ways of examining your own experiences and considering what they might mean to you.

    If you're curious about your dreams, have experienced something you believe may have been a premonition, or simply want to explore these subjects in greater depth, you can contact Elliot directly to find out more about his workshops:

    šŸ“§ aleph1workshops@gmail.com

    This conversation isn't about telling anyone what they should believe. It's about staying curious, exploring our experiences and being open to asking some very big questions.

    So get comfortable and join us as we explore the secret world of your dreams... šŸŒ™āœØ

  • 40 - #040 -šŸ”„ REAL Ghost Stories by a Crackling Fireā€¦and a haunted doll šŸ˜§

    šŸ”„ The fire is crackling, the lights are low... and I've got some seriously creepy ghost stories for you tonight.

    This week on The Darkling Chronicles, i'm trying another atmospheric soundscape as I settle in beside a crackling fire to read a collection of real paranormal stories.

    And then there's Tapey.

    A terrifying old ventriloquist doll with matted, greasy hair and a broken jaw held together with masking tape. Yes. He is every bit as delightful as he sounds. I thought this only existed in a Goosbumps episode šŸ«Ø

    Tapey features in one of tonight's stories, alongside plenty of other strange, unsettling and downright creepy encounters.

    So get yourself comfortable, stick your headphones in if you fancy it, and enjoy the sound of a crackling fire while I take you through another collection of stories from people who claim to have experienced something they simply couldn't explain.

  • 39 - #039 - REAL Ghost Stories for a Dark & Rainy Night šŸŒ§ļøšŸ‘»

    šŸŒ§ļø Something a little different from me tonightā€¦

    As autumn begins to creep in and the darker evenings return, I wanted to experiment with a different kind of episode.

    So get comfortable, turn the lights down and listen to the rain while I read a collection of real paranormal stories from Alan Tigwell's book, accompanied by a gentle ambient rain soundscape.

    No investigations. No dramatic sound effects. Just the rain, a collection of strange encounters and me telling you ghost stories in the dark.

    Whether you're listening with headphones, winding down for the evening, reading, working or, for the particularly brave among you, falling asleepā€¦ I hope you enjoy this slightly more atmospheric side of The Darkling Chronicles.

    If you like this style of episode, please let me know. I'd love to make more ambient ghost story episodes as we head further into autumn and winter. šŸ‚šŸŒ§ļø

    šŸ“– READ ALAN TIGWELL'S BOOK

  • 38 - #038 - Whatever was beside his bedā€¦ it smelled like it was rottingšŸ«Ø

    Tonight on The Darkling Chronicles, I've got three real paranormal stories for you, and there are some seriously creepy moments in this one.

    We begin with a family who slowly realise that their daughter may have accidentally brought something home with herā€¦ and whatever followed her doesn't seem particularly keen on leaving.

    Then, a childhood sleepover takes a terrifying turn when a boy wakes to something pulling the duvet from his bed. What he sees is bad enough, but it's the rancid smell accompanying the shadowy figure that makes the encounter even more disturbing.

    And finally, imagine seeing your friend, thinking nothing of it, and carrying on with your dayā€¦

    Only to discover that when you saw him, he was already dead.

    Tonight's stories were written by Alan Tigwell, and I'd like to give Alan a massive thank you for allowing me to share them with you. I absolutely loved reading these and we'll definitely be returning to Alan's stories for more episodes.

  • 37 - #037 - Something was waiting for him downstairsā€¦šŸ«Ø

    Tonight on The Darkling Chronicles, we're heading back into the darker corners of the internet for another collection of allegedly true paranormal encounters...and there are some absolute horrors in this one.

    A family laughs about the ghost haunting their apartment until something happens beside their four-month-old baby's cot.

    A man grows up in a house with decades of unexplained activity, including a smiling figure watching from an upstairs window.

    A seven-year-old hears a mysterious voice tell him not to walk down the stairs... moments before something violent happens below.

    And one man meets an old friend for lunch before suddenly remembering one rather important detail...

    His friend is dead.

    We also have shadow figures, apparitions, unexplained voices, a VERY jealous ghost and plenty more things that frankly have no business wandering around people's houses.

    Quick apology from me: the audio and video quality on this episode is so annoying. My Wi-Fi has apparently decided to become a paranormal entity itself, but new Wi-Fi is being installed very soonšŸ˜‚ Thank you for bearing with me!

    ALSO... Alan! šŸ˜‚

    I completely forgot to finish the point I was making about Alan during the episode. I will be reading his book and talking about it properly in an upcoming podcast, so keep an eye out for that one!

    Thank you as always for watching, listening, commenting and sending me your experiences. šŸ–¤

    Now turn the lights down, get comfortable...
