In 1985, nineteen-year-old SUNY Geneseo student Chris Di Cesare began hearing his name called inside room C2D1 of Erie Hall. What followed, according to Chris and those around him, developed into apparitions, unexplained movements, attempts at communication with a presence they called Tommy, alleged physical attacks and a blessing performed by a Catholic priest. Unlike many campus ghost stories, the case was documented while it was still unfolding through journals, photographs and witness accounts, although the identity of “Tommy” remains unresolved.

In August 1981, a family home in Bournemouth, England became the centre of a short but intense poltergeist case involving moving furniture, flying household objects and repeated disturbances witnessed not only by the family, but by neighbours, police officers and a retired clergyman. The case later drew in mediums, newspaper reporters and psychical researcher Cyril Permutt, yet the activity stopped almost as suddenly as it had begun.

For generations, people in rural Thailand have told stories of the Krasue, a woman whose head leaves her body after dark with her internal organs hanging beneath it as she travels in search of blood, carrion and filth. Strange red, green and orange lights seen moving above fields have repeatedly been linked to the creature, and remarkably, alleged sightings continue today, with reports from Ratchaburi and Lopburi in 2023, Surin and Buriram in 2024, and Phetchabun as recently as February 2026.

In this special episode, I'm joined by writer and screenwriter Thom Burgess for a chat about ghost stories, folklore and a lifelong fascination with the supernatural.

Thom talks about growing up surrounded by the ghostlore of Kent, from the phantom bride of Bluebell Hill to the stories that first frightened and fascinated him as a child, and how that interest eventually found its way into his own writing and the Paramount horror film Passenger.

Along the way, we get into M. R. James, haunted pubs, phantom hitchhikers, the strange ways folklore has moved online and, inevitably, those deeply unsettling Cat in the Hat videos. Thom also shares a couple of his own unexplained experiences, including a very strange night in a Seattle hotel.

We also talk about City of Ghosts: The Canterbury Ghost Story Festival, taking place in Canterbury on 3 October, which brings together more than 300 years of ghost stories, folklore, literature, film and the supernatural.

From Kuebiko, the ancient Japanese scarecrow god said to know everything in the world, to harvest rituals, rice-field spirits and the one-eyed Dorotabō rising from the mud, scarecrows have long occupied a strange place between the practical and the supernatural. We also visit Nagoro, where hundreds of life-sized scarecrows now outnumber the living, before turning to reported encounters involving scarecrows that appear to move, watch, multiply overnight and, in one modern case, vanish from a field altogether.

In 1892, a farm worker near Salem, Oregon, returned to a cultivated field after supper and claimed to encounter a pale woman standing beside his plough. When he tried to strike her, the blows passed straight through her, and she chased him across the field towards the farmhouse. Locals connected the apparition to an older story of a pioneer woman whose grave had once been avoided by ploughmen before its location was forgotten and crops began growing over the place where she lay.

In 1710, strange disturbances began inside Knowehead House on the Islandmagee peninsula in County Antrim. Stones appeared from nowhere, bedclothes were arranged into the shape of corpses, and a ragged childlike figure was seen moving through the house before apparently predicting the death of its elderly resident, Ann Haltridge. After Ann died, eighteen-year-old Mary Dunbar arrived and soon began suffering violent fits, claiming invisible women were attacking her and producing pins, feathers and other objects from her mouth. Her accusations eventually sent eight women to prison for witchcraft and drew a ninth person into a case that became Ireland’s last major witch trial.

For much of the nineteenth century, people travelled across Ireland to seek the help of Biddy Early, a famous County Clare healer and clairvoyant. She was purported to 'know' why visitors had come to see her before she was ever told. Stories claimed that Biddy could see future events through a mysterious bottle, cure illnesses blamed on the fairies and even take the form of a hare. Though she was eventually accused of witchcraft, the case against her collapsed, and then after her death in 1874 the stories about her only continued, including the belief that her strange bottle had never really belonged to her at all.

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.

High in the hills of Shimla, India, an old roadside water source known as Chudail Baudi has been feared since the British Raj. Drivers say their vehicles slow down as they approach, before a woman with long hair and backwards feet appears beside the road asking for a lift. Refuse her, and according to the legend, she may just appear inside the car anyway. We explore the stories surrounding the Witch’s Well and the much older folklore of the chudail.

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.

On 15 September 1875, seventy-nine-year-old Ann Tennant left her home in the Warwickshire village of Long Compton to buy a loaf of bread. Minutes later she was attacked by agricultural labourer James Haywood, a neighbour who had become convinced that Ann and a number of other villagers were witches. His extraordinary claims would follow him from the harvest fields of Long Compton to the courtroom at Warwick and eventually to Broadmoor.

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.

Season of the Witch – Archive Note:

As part of this year’s Season of the Witch, we’re bringing our two-part Charles Walton case back into the feed. Charles Walton’s story connects with some of the new cases we’re covering this season, so we thought it was the perfect time to revisit it.

Patreon and Apple subscribers can listen to Charles Walton Parts One & Two and our new Ann Tennant episode now. For everyone else, Charles Walton Parts One & Two will be released on Friday and Saturday, followed by Ann Tennant on Sunday.

The Charles Walton episodes were originally released around 14 months ago and have been refreshed with our current music.

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.

Above the Warwickshire village of Long Compton stands one of England's strangest prehistoric landscapes. According to legend, the Rollright Stones are a king and his army turned to stone by a witch, while generations of local people told stories of bleeding elder trees, fairies dancing around the stones, impossible stone counts, shape-shifting witches and ancient monuments that moved after dark. Even into the twentieth century, Long Compton retained its extraordinary reputation as a village where the influence of witches was said to come and go like the full moon.

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.

During the bitter winter of 1698, Moll Dyer was driven from her home in St Mary’s County, Maryland, after local people blamed her for sickness and misfortune and accused her of witchcraft. According to the legend, she escaped her burning cabin only to freeze to death beside a large rock deep in the woods, leaving behind the impression of her hand and a curse upon those responsible. More than three hundred years later, Moll’s rock still exists, while stories of strange lights, sudden fog, shadowy figures and Moll herself continue along the road and woodland that carry her name.

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.

Late on 8 January 2004, a woman calling herself Hasumi began posting to the Japanese message board 2channel after her usual train travelled far beyond its normal route and stopped at a deserted station she had never heard of. Over the next four hours, strangers online followed her journey through tunnels, distant drums, a terrifying encounter and finally a ride with a mysterious man, until Hasumi posted one final message and disappeared from the thread. Her story would become one of Japan’s most enduring internet legends and inspired an entire genre of mysterious “otherworld stations.”

In the spring of 1897, newspapers in Potter County, Pennsylvania began reporting encounters with a bizarre creature described as tall, hairy, upright and armed with long tusks. But the Nondescript was only one of many strange stories to emerge from these remote forests. From an earlier “Wild Man” near Galeton to unexplained screams, mysterious figures, phantom hitchhikers, strange lights and local monster legends, this episode explores the unsettling folklore surrounding one of Pennsylvania’s wildest and most isolated regions.

High above Baguio City stands the ruined former Diplomat Hotel, a building that began life as a Dominican retreat house before becoming a wartime refuge, a Japanese stronghold and later a hotel operated by controversial faith healer Tony Agpaoa. Since its abandonment, visitors have reported footsteps, voices, wartime apparitions and mysterious religious figures moving through its empty corridors, giving Dominican Hill a reputation as one of the most haunted places in the Philippines.

In 1816, snow fell in June, crops failed across Europe and North America, and thousands feared the end of the world. Known as the Year Without a Summer, this extraordinary period was caused by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Tambora a year earlier, although nobody at the time knew the true reason. As famine spread and old superstitions resurfaced, a group of writers trapped by the relentless storms at Lake Geneva created Frankenstein and The Vampyre, changing horror literature forever.

For decades, people along Arkansas’s White River reported seeing an enormous grey creature moving beneath the muddy water. In 1937 the sightings sparked a full-scale monster hunt involving armed patrols, a professional diver and hundreds of spectators, before the creature returned more than thirty years later and Arkansas created an official refuge to protect it.

For more than a decade, the Procter family and their visitors reported footsteps, violent knocking, moving beds and apparitions inside their home beside Willington Mill in Northumberland. The haunting became so notorious that sceptical surgeon Edward Drury spent the night there in 1840, only to leave after an encounter with a grey-clothed woman that he recorded in writing just days later.

Before electric light reached the villages of rural Kerala, travellers were warned to examine every animal waiting beside the road.

Every year, as Hungry Ghost Month begins, millions of people across Asia follow traditions that have been passed down for centuries. Offerings are left beside roads, front-row seats remain empty for unseen guests, and children are warned never to whistle after dark. In this episode, we explore the urban legends that surround the seventh lunar month, from ghostly getai audiences and spirits lurking beneath the water to the mysterious sound of marbles rolling across apartment floors in the middle of the night. These are not forgotten folktales from the distant past, they are stories that continue to be told in some of the world's most modern cities.

For sailors travelling under canvas, the doldrums were among the most feared waters on Earth. Ships could remain trapped for days or weeks beneath an unmoving sky as water spoiled, sickness spread and frightened crews searched for supernatural explanations. This episode explores the dark folklore of the dead calm, including wind-calling rituals, cursed “Jonahs,” Neptune’s equator ceremonies, phantom ships, the albatross and the terrifying delirium known as calenture.

Deep in the Wayanad district of Kerala stands a massive banyan tree wrapped in heavy iron chains. According to local legend, the spirit of the tribal guide Karinthandan haunted the mountain pass after he was betrayed and murdered, until a local priest chained his restless ghost to the tree. Today, visitors still leave offerings, report strange experiences, and wonder whether the spirit ever truly found peace.

After George Reeves, television’s original Superman, died in his Benedict Canyon home in 1959, the official ruling was suicide.

Crater Lake in Oregon is one of America’s most beautiful natural wonders, but its history is filled with darker stories. Formed inside the collapsed remains of Mount Mazama, the lake is tied to Klamath sacred tradition, stories of Llao and Skell, vanished aircraft, an unsolved double murder, and the strange floating figure known as the Old Man of the Lake.

In 1968 and 1969, Scottish newspapers reported that a haunted floating island on Loch Garry had broken loose and become wedged against a Bailey bridge near Greenfield. Known locally as Children’s Island, it was tied to an old kelpie legend in which seven children were carried into the loch by a water horse, and their red hearts were later said to have appeared on the winter water.

When Poltergeist was released in 1982, it became an instant horror classic. But in the years that followed, stories of real human skeletons, tragic deaths, on set accidents and whispered blessings gave rise to one of Hollywood's most enduring legends. This week, we explore the making of the film, the strange stories that surrounded it, and the curse that many believe still lingers over the franchise.

In 1958, the Herrmann family’s ordinary suburban home in Seaford, Long Island, became the centre of one of America’s most famous poltergeist cases. Bottles popped open, liquids spilled, objects flew, police investigated, reporters watched overnight, and even a priest was called in before the disturbances suddenly stopped.

A church in Texas where thousands looked into the sky in 1988. A theory that time moves towards rupture. A machine beneath Europe that became, for some, a symbol of a universe disturbed. And ordinary people, scattered across the internet, trying to explain why their lives feel as though they continued after something else ended.

Perhaps nothing happened. Perhaps the feeling is memory, grief, fear, nostalgia, or the strange dislocation of living through years that change too quickly.

But for those who believe they remember the other world, the question remains. If reality did shift, would we know? Or would we simply wake the next morning, make a cup of tea, answer our messages, go to work, and spend the rest of our lives wondering why home no longer feels like home?

On Christmas morning 1964, residents of Warminster, Wiltshire, were disturbed by strange sounds moving over the rooftops.

In 1986, blood began to rise from the floor of a family photography shop in La Plata, Argentina, drawing police, priests, believers and frightened neighbours to a house suddenly treated as both crime scene and shrine. Less than a year later, in Atlanta, Georgia, another ordinary home became known as the Blood House when human blood appeared across its floors and walls, with no body, no injury, no break-in, and no explanation.

A 1918 newspaper clipping preserves an older tale of Knighton Gorges, where a vanished house seemed to return in ghostly light, music, voices, dogs, and a spectral Christmas gathering.

On the Isle of Wight, only fragments remain of the old estate, but the stories continue: rattling chains, phantom revels, strange lights, and a house said to appear again when the conditions are right.

Before the 1890 Morfa Colliery disaster, miners claimed they heard strange sounds in the four-foot seam, including doors opening and slamming in the darkness, and some believed the pit was warning them of fire or explosion. When the mine later exploded and dozens of men and boys were killed, those ghost stories entered the inquiry itself, turning Morfa into one of Wales’s most unsettling haunted mining legends.

First responders answer calls that become impossible to explain: a figure moving through smoke during a fire, a gunshot and scream in an empty parking lot, and a pale woman outside a grocery store who may already have been dead. Drawn from 50 Real Ghost Stories of First Responders by Eve S. Evans, these accounts ask what happens when those trained to face danger encounter something beyond it.

In the small Somerset village of Sidcot, George Beacham was remembered as a cattle doctor, a conjurer, and a man with knowledge of the old ways. When his final burial wish was ignored, the story says his widow’s cottage erupted with moving furniture, falling household goods, and the sound of the dead man’s boots coming slowly down the stairs.

In 2009, Bobby, Sherilynn and six-year-old Madyson Jamison drove into the Sans Bois Mountains to look at land for a new off-grid life and vanished, leaving behind their truck, their dog, their phones, their IDs and $32,000 in cash. But before they disappeared, the family had reportedly spoken of hauntings, spirits, demons, apocalyptic fears and a spooky warning painted on a shipping container: “Witches don’t like their black cat killed.”

Deep in the Central Highlands, on the lonely shore of Loch Ericht, Ben Alder Cottage has held a haunted reputation for decades. Old newspaper clippings, bothy folklore, and modern overnight visitors tell the story of Joseph McCook, strange noises in the dark, doors crashing open, objects moving, and the uneasy feeling that this remote shelter is not always empty.

A small 1994 newspaper clipping from The Scotsman we came across writes about a skull being uncovered on the island of Coll, in a place long known as Hangman’s Hill and of the islanders frightened enough to ask the church to bless the ground. Behind the discovery lies an older Maclean clan tradition of murder, revenge, execution, unconsecrated burial, and the belief that some dead do not rest quietly.
