This Is A Ghost Story

Episode 27 – The Ghost Plane of Bleaklow

✈️👻 A ghostly aircraft, a tragic wartime crash, and a mystery that refuses to fade…

High on the windswept moors of the Peak District lies Bleaklow, a remote and unforgiving landscape with a haunting history.

In November 1948, an American B-29 Superfortress bomber, Over Exposed, crashed into the hillside, tragically claiming the lives of all 13 men on board. The wreckage remains scattered across the moor to this day, serving as a poignant reminder of those who lost their lives.

But could something else still linger among the wreckage?

In this week's episode of This Is A Ghost Story, Kathryn and Alison explore the eerie legend of the Ghost Plane of Bleaklow, where reports of unexplained aircraft sounds, strange sightings and unsettling experiences have added a supernatural dimension to an already tragic location.

We also share an eyewitness account from Daniel James, whose experience on Bleaklow raises some intriguing questions about what might still haunt these lonely hills.

Was it simply the imagination playing tricks in an atmospheric location, or could the echoes of the past still be heard across the moors?

Join Kathryn and Alison for the story, before Producer Andrew delves deeper into the history, evidence and possible explanations behind this fascinating mystery.

Episode 26 — THE GHOSTS OF WOODFIELD HOUSE

In September 1947, eight people gathered inside Woodfield House in Bedfordshire for a séance that would become part of the area’s paranormal history.

Among those present were a councillor, a psychologist, a journalist, a professional medium and a 24-year-old man who would later become one of Britain’s best-known ghost hunters.

As midnight approached, the group sat in complete darkness, joined hands and waited for something extraordinary to happen.

But what really took place inside Woodfield House that night?

In this episode of This Is A Ghost Story, Kathryn and Alison explore the mysterious history of Woodfield House, the people involved in the investigation and the strange events that brought them together.

Andrew delves into the research behind the case, separating the documented history from the paranormal claims.

Was Woodfield House genuinely haunted? Or could there be a more earthly explanation for the events of that September night?

Join us as we uncover The Ghosts of Woodfield House.

THIS IS A GHOST STORY

Episode 25 — THE THING IN TRING 🛸

A deserted road. A mysterious object. And a brand-new car that suddenly refuses to accelerate…

In the early hours of 9th February 1962, 34-year-old Ronald Wildman was driving a new Vauxhall from Luton towards Swansea when he encountered something extraordinary on Ivinghoe Road, near Aston Clinton.

Hovering just feet above the road was a huge, oval-shaped object, estimated to be up to forty feet across, with strange dark markings resembling portholes.

As Ronald approached, his car mysteriously began losing power. The object moved ahead of him, seemingly following the road, before disturbing frost-covered trees and disappearing into the night at incredible speed.

Moments later, his car returned to normal.

But this wasn’t the end of the story.

Police became involved, and UFO investigators subsequently visited the location, interviewed Ronald and conducted tests for radiation and magnetic disturbances.

What did Ronald Wildman really encounter that freezing February morning?

In this week’s This Is A Ghost Story, Kathryn and Alison revisit one of the area’s most intriguing UFO encounters, while Producer Andrew explores the original 1962 investigation, contemporary reports and possible explanations behind the mysterious sighting.

Was it a case of mistaken identity, an unexplained natural phenomenon… or something truly out of this world?

Join us for Episode 25 — The Thing In Tring.

And no, it’s not quite Tring… but The Thing Near Aston Clinton doesn’t have quite the same ring to it!

#ThisIsAGhostStory #TheThingInTring #UFO #ParanormalPodcast #BritishUFOs

👻 EPISODE 24 – THE POLTERGEIST OF WILDEN MANOR

Deep in the Bedfordshire countryside lies the quiet village of Wilden. But behind its peaceful rural setting is a strange tale of unexplained disturbances, mysterious happenings and an alleged poltergeist that has become part of the area’s paranormal history.

Our story takes us back to the 19th century, when reports of unsettling events and an extraordinary encounter on a lonely country road would leave more questions than answers.

What really happened in Wilden? Were these events the work of something supernatural, or could there be a more earthly explanation?

Join Kathryn and Alison as they explore the story, while Andrew digs into the research behind this fascinating slice of Bedfordshire’s haunted past.

This episode also draws upon research featured in Damien O’Dell’s book Paranormal Bedfordshire, which we recommend to anyone interested in discovering more about the county’s strange and mysterious history.

Was something truly haunting Wilden Manor? Or has time transformed an unusual series of events into something far more sinister?

🎧 Turn down the lights, settle in… and join us for another episode of This Is A Ghost Story.

THIS IS A GHOST STORY – Real stories. Unexplained mysteries.

#ThisIsAGhostStory #WildenPoltergeist #BedfordshireGhosts #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories

It’s just after four o’clock in the morning.

Ken Monger is awake and making his way downstairs towards the kitchen.

But when he reaches the door, something is wrong.

The kitchen has been completely turned upside down.

And this would be far from the last strange event to trouble the Monger family.

In 1980, Ken and Jenny Monger temporarily moved into a council house in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, while their usual home was being modernised.

Almost immediately, unexplained things began to happen.

Objects moved. Strange noises were heard. The family experienced disturbances they simply couldn’t explain.

And before long, whatever was responsible had been given a name:

Barney.

This week on This Is A Ghost Story, Kathryn & Alison tell the strange story of the Berkhamsted Poltergeist — a case that became serious enough to attract the attention of the local press.

Then Producer Andrew digs into the research, including contemporary newspaper reporting from November 1980, to find out what we can establish about the Monger family, their temporary home and the strange events said to have taken place there.

Who — or what — was Barney?

And what really happened inside that ordinary Hertfordshire house more than 45 years ago?

👽 EPISODE 22 — THE A70 UFO CASE

On a cold November night in 1992, two men were driving along Scotland’s remote A70 road when they encountered something they could not explain.

What began as an ordinary journey home would become one of Scotland’s most intriguing UFO cases.

As Garry Wood and Colin Wright travelled through the dark countryside near Edinburgh, they spotted a strange object hovering above the road ahead. Moments later, their memories seemed to stop.

When they came to, they were still in the car — but something was wrong.

They were much further along their journey than they should have been.

And more than an hour of their lives appeared to be missing.

What happened during those lost minutes would only emerge later, when hypnotic regression reportedly uncovered disturbing memories of a terrifying encounter.

But what really happened on the A70 that night?

Was it an alien abduction? A strange psychological experience? Or could there be another explanation entirely?

Kathryn and Alison tell the extraordinary story of The A70 UFO Case, before Andrew digs into the research, the investigation that followed, and the theories surrounding one of Scotland’s strangest alleged close encounters.

A lonely country road.

A driver travelling through the Bedfordshire countryside.

And a passenger who seemingly disappears without a trace.

This week on This Is A Ghost Story, we head to the small village of Stanbridge and one of the strangest ghost stories to emerge from the local area.

For years, stories have circulated of a mysterious figure encountered on the roads around Stanbridge — a phantom hitchhiker whose appearance has left those who claim to have seen them with an experience they cannot easily explain.

It’s a classic piece of ghostly folklore: a solitary figure beside the road, an unsuspecting motorist and a journey that takes a decidedly supernatural turn.

But where did the story come from?

Is the Phantom Hitchhiker of Stanbridge based on a genuine encounter? Has the tale changed as it has been passed from person to person? And why do remarkably similar stories of vanishing hitchhikers appear all over Britain — and around the world?

Kathryn and Alison tell the story, before Producer Andrew digs into the history and folklore surrounding the case and takes a closer look at the enduring legend of the Vanishing Hitchhiker.

Was somebody really encountered on a dark Bedfordshire road?

Could there be a more ordinary explanation?

Or does something still wait beside the road at Stanbridge for the next unsuspecting driver to come along?

As always… we’ll leave that for you to decide.

🚗 A lonely road.

👤 A mysterious passenger.

👻 And a journey the witnesses would never forget.

👻 EPISODE 20 — GHOSTS GONE WILDThe Funny Side of the Paranormal

This week’s episode contains bleeped swearing and words that may not be suitable for younger listeners.

Not every ghost story ends with screaming.

Sometimes the ghost tells you to f##k off.

Sometimes a UFO apparently abducts your dog, car AND tent.

And sometimes the mysterious object you’ve been following through the sky turns out to be… a Tesco carrier bag.

This week on This Is A Ghost Story, we’re doing something a little different.

Kathryn, Alison and Andrew take a trip through the stranger — and considerably funnier — side of the paranormal, digging into bizarre ghost encounters and some genuinely extraordinary reports preserved in Britain’s official Ministry of Defence UFO files.

We’ve got a foul-mouthed ghost at Dead Woman’s Ditch, a mysterious fireball that reportedly flew into a woman’s kitchen and landed in a carrier bag, a worried Springer Spaniel, a schoolgirl demanding UFO disclosure from the British government, police officers chasing something across Ohio… and a man who claimed he was living with an alien in Carlisle.

Plus phantom cats, pub ghosts, apparitions being completely ignored and the important question nobody else seems willing to ask:

If a ghost tells you to f##k off… do you actually have to?

Some of these encounters may have perfectly ordinary explanations. Others remain disputed or unexplained. But every case reminds us that the paranormal doesn’t always have to be terrifying.

Sometimes… it’s just bloody weird.

🎧 GHOSTS GONE WILD — The Funny Side of the Paranormal

👻 LISTENER CHALLENGE

Have you ever had a paranormal experience that was actually funny?

Maybe you completely embarrassed yourself after mistaking something ordinary for a ghost or UFO. Maybe your resident spirit is more annoying than frightening. Or perhaps something genuinely unexplained happened that you couldn’t help laughing about afterwards.

We want to hear it.

📧 thisisaghoststory@icloud.com

Send us your story and, if we get enough, we’ll make another episode entirely from your funny paranormal encounters.

👻 EPISODE 19 — RAILWAY COTTAGE

An abandoned cottage. An overgrown path. And a voice from inside a house that should have been empty.

This week on This Is a Ghost Story, we bring you another chilling true listener experience.

When Dom arrived to begin work on an old railway cottage, the building had been left empty and almost swallowed by the undergrowth. But before the work had even properly begun, strange things started happening.

A voice heard when nobody else was there.

Footsteps and unexplained sounds.

Objects seemingly moving on their own.

And the growing feeling that whoever — or whatever — remained inside the cottage wasn’t particularly pleased to have company.

Kathryn and Alison tell Dom’s story, before Andrew joins them to dig into the history, the possible explanations and the ghosts that have long been associated with Britain’s railways.

Was Railway Cottage simply an old building making old-building noises?

Or had Dom disturbed something that had been there long before he arrived?

EPISODE 18 — THE HOUSE ON GABALFA AVENUE 👻

In 1997, a family moved into a new home on Gabalfa Avenue in Cardiff.

Almost immediately, they began to realise they might not be the only ones living there.

What started with an unsettling encounter soon developed into a series of strange experiences — unexplained sounds, doors behaving on their own, sudden changes in temperature and the unnerving feeling that someone… or something… was there.

And then there was the bedroom.

This week, Kathryn, Alison and Producer Andrew explore a chilling true listener story, sent to us by Charlotte, about the house her family called home — and the experiences that have stayed with her ever since.

But what was happening inside the house on Gabalfa Avenue?

And could its history hold the answer?

🎙️ This is a BUMPER episode of This Is A Ghost Story — almost 55 minutes long, more than twice the length of our usual episodes.

We hear Charlotte’s full story, discuss the experiences and dig into the history surrounding the house in search of possible answers.

A huge thank you to Charlotte for sharing her story with us. You can find her on Facebook under Lady Paranormal.

🏠 A new home.

👤 An unexpected presence.

👻 And a story that began the moment they walked through the door.

Arizona. November 1975.

Seven men are driving home through the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest after a long day working in the trees when they spot something strange glowing in the darkness.

One of them gets out of the truck to take a closer look.

His name is Travis Walton.

What happens next would become one of the most famous — and fiercely debated — alleged alien abduction cases in history.

Travis disappears. His six workmates return without him, telling police an extraordinary story that immediately places them under suspicion.

Then, five days later, Travis Walton returns.

But where had he been?

In Episode 17 of This Is A Ghost Story, Kathryn, Alison and Producer Andrew delve into the extraordinary Travis Walton case — the encounter in the Arizona wilderness, the disappearance that followed, and the story that has divided investigators, sceptics and believers for more than half a century.

Andrew then takes a closer look at the evidence, investigations and controversies surrounding the case.

Was Travis Walton really taken aboard something not of this world?

Was there another explanation?

Or did seven men witness something in the Arizona wilderness that we still can’t explain?

Episode 16 — The Union Screaming House: Part Two — The House Comes Alive

This week on This Is A Ghost Story, we return to Union, Missouri, for the conclusion of Steven LaChance’s extraordinary account of the house that would become known as The Union Screaming House.

After the events of Part One, Steven’s story was far from over.

In Part Two, Kathryn and Alison continue his account, before Producer Andrew takes a closer look at the history surrounding the case, some of the theories that have been put forward over the years, and the questions that still remain.

Whether you believe there is a paranormal explanation or something else entirely, we’ll leave that for you to decide.

A huge thank you to Steven LaChance for allowing us to tell his story.

Steven’s experiences are told in much greater detail in his book, The Uninvited: The True Story of the Union Screaming House, which we highly recommend seeking out if you’d like to learn more about the case.

🎧 We strongly recommend listening to Episode 15 — Part One before beginning this episode.

Keep an open mind… because sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction.

When single father Steven LaChance discovers a beautiful old white house in Union, Missouri, it feels like the fresh start his family desperately needs. Spacious, welcoming and full of character, the property seems almost too good to be true.

It isn’t long before unsettling details begin to emerge. Strange encounters. Unexplained occurrences. Neighbours behaving in ways that make little sense. With each passing day, an uneasy feeling grows that the family may not be the only occupants of the house.

In Part One of this extraordinary two-part story, Kathryn, Alison and Andrew explore the events that transformed a sceptical father into someone convinced that something beyond explanation had entered his life. Based on Steven LaChance’s own account, this is one of America’s most famous modern haunting cases—and one that continues to divide opinion.

But this is only the beginning…

Join us next week for Part Two – The House Comes Alive, where the story takes an even darker turn.

In the quiet desert town of Apache Junction, Arizona, Lori steps into what should be a fresh start—an ordinary home with nothing remarkable about it. But the stillness doesn’t last. Something about the house feels wrong from the very beginning, as if it has been waiting for her.

Before long, strange events begin to unfold. Unexplained sensations. An overwhelming feeling that she is no longer alone. Then comes a terrifying encounter centred around one room in the house that changes everything.

Was it an overactive imagination, coincidence… or was something unseen trying to make its presence known?

In Episode 14 of This Is A Ghost Story, Kathryn, Alison and Andrew explore a chilling haunting that has left listeners questioning what can really exist beyond our understanding. As always, they examine Lori’s reported experience, discuss the possible explanations, and ask the question at the heart of every episode:

What do you believe?

A quiet Christmas evening.

A routine house-sitting job.

Then… every light in the house suddenly goes out.

In this episode of This Is A Ghost Story, we travel to South Africa to hear a chilling true account from paranormal podcaster Shane Campbell.

While looking after a friend’s home, Shane and his wife became convinced that someone had broken into the property. An open car door. Running footsteps inside the house. A desperate race back to rescue their puppy. But when neighbours, security officers and family searched the house…

There was no intruder.

Only more questions.

Was someone hiding inside the property that Christmas night? Could there be a perfectly ordinary explanation? Or did Shane encounter something far more unsettling?

Join Kathryn, Alison and producer Andrew as they explore another real-life paranormal experience, examine the possible explanations, and leave you to decide what really happened.

A huge thank you to Shane Campbell and the Creepy & Paranormal podcast for allowing us to share his extraordinary story.

What do you think?

Was it an intruder…

or something that couldn’t be seen?

If you’ve experienced something strange, paranormal or completely unexplained, we’d love to hear from you. Your story could feature in a future episode of This Is A Ghost Story.

New episodes every Monday.

Episode 12 – The Southwark Priest and the Ouija Board

This week, This Is A Ghost Story delves into two eerie tales passed down through Kathryn & Alison's own family.

The first takes us back to pre-war South London, where generations of one family witnessed the silent appearance of a mysterious priest walking through their home. His unexplained visits became an accepted part of family life… until one remarkable discovery changed everything.

The second story jumps to the 1960s, when a seemingly harmless Ouija board session among friends took an unsettling turn after one question received an answer nobody expected. What happened next left everyone present shaken and became a story that would be retold for decades.

Alongside these remarkable family accounts, we explore the folklore surrounding ghostly guardians, the history of Ouija boards, and the possible explanations behind experiences that continue to divide believers and sceptics alike.

Were these simply extraordinary coincidences… or something far more mysterious?

As always, we’ll leave that for you to decide.

Episode 11 – The Portuguese UFO Story

In 1917, the world looked to Fátima after thousands of people reported witnessing a mysterious event in the sky. But decades later, another extraordinary encounter would take place in Portugal—one that remains far less well known.

On an ordinary winter evening, 13-year-old António Alves set out on a familiar walk through an olive grove. What happened next would change his life forever.

A brilliant white object. Missing time. Strange physical effects. And a story that has continued to divide opinion for decades.

In this episode, Kathryn and Alison explore one of Portugal’s most compelling UFO encounters, piecing together the eyewitness testimony, the reported evidence, and the questions that still remain unanswered.

Was António the victim of a vivid misunderstanding… or did he experience something that defies conventional explanation?

Brace yourselves… this is The Portuguese UFO Story.

A second-hand wardrobe.

An antique mirror.

Then… something changed.

In this episode of This Is A Ghost Story, Kathryn and Alison tell the unsettling true account of listener Kayla, whose life took a terrifying turn after bringing home an old wardrobe with a large mirror attached.

What began as an ordinary purchase soon became something she couldn’t explain. Strange experiences, disturbing dreams and an overwhelming feeling that she was no longer alone left Kayla questioning whether the mirror was simply reflecting her room… or something far more sinister.

Could an ordinary piece of furniture really carry something from its past, or was there another explanation for the chilling events that followed?

Andrew also explores the history of haunted mirrors, the idea of cursed objects, and the paranormal theories that surround them.

A story that may make you think twice before bringing antiques into your home.
