Episode 93 - Ghosts in the Holy Land

Welcome to Britain’s most haunted house — 30 East Drive in Pontefract — where a seemingly ordinary family home turned into a prison of nightmares. What started with mysterious puddles, floating dust clouds, and furniture that moved on its own quickly escalated into full-blown poltergeist chaos. Known by the Pritchard family as Fred, the Black Monk of Pontefract wasn’t just mischievous — it was terrifying, violent, and maybe even hungry (yes, this spirit snacked on sandwiches). From eggs exploding mid-air to priests fleeing after failed exorcisms, the Pritchard family lived through a haunting so wild it inspired an actual horror film. But in between the chills, there are moments so bizarre they’re almost funny — like disembodied fur gloves conducting a hymn sing-along. Still, the poltergeist’s obsession with teenage Diane, culminating in a nightmarish attempt to drag her away, proved this was no harmless prankster.

Get ready for a night of chills and nervous laughter as Maci and Nadoly of the Ghosteas podcast join us to share their paranormal encounters and dive into some of the creepiest listener stories. Together we unpack haunted tech glitches, Appalachian cryptid encounters, and Nadoly and Maci’s terrifying personal hauntings — including a demon, a mimic and a shadow figure.  Stories include: Knocking sounds beneath Maci’s bed that may have been linked to a haunted desk…and a demon. Nadoly’s ongoing experiences with a mimic, and an ominous shadow figure.    A chilling camping trip dream that may have been more possession than premonition, complete with real scratches that appeared the next morning. A mysterious night of knocks on a window and glowing yellow eyes peering from the treeline. A family’s generational “rules of the woods” and the terrifying encounters that proved why they exist. Grab your earl grey (or something stronger) and settle in for the full ghost tea. 👻  Find Ghosteas podcast on Spotify or Youtube, and Instagram. Watch the video version here.

Off the coast of Maine lies a bleak, windswept rock known as Boon Island. For centuries, sailors have washed ashore here only to face madness, starvation, and the unthinkable. Desperate acts of cannibalism, whispers of spectral figures, and the lonely shadow of its lighthouse keeper’s ghost make Boon Island’s history as chilling as the Atlantic waters that surround it. In this episode, we dive into tales of survival gone horribly wrong, the tragic love story of a lighthouse keeper’s wife who may still haunt the rocky shores, and eerie encounters that make mariners swear the island is alive with restless spirits. Join us as we uncover its cursed legacy of cannibals, curses, and one heartbreakingly heroic lady in white. Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?

What do EDM raves, mermaids, and UFOs all have in common? Ibiza, baby. But not the kind of Ibiza you’re used to. In this episode, we dive into the paranormal paradise of Es Vedrà, a mysterious, uninhabited islet off Ibiza’s coast that’s said to be the third most magnetic place on Earth—right after the North Pole and Bermuda Triangle. We’re talking legendary sea creatures, shipwrecks, and glowing red UFOs that tail planes like something out of a sci-fi movie. Legends claim Es Vedrà is home to seductive sirens who lure sailors to their doom, sea witches, giants and invisible dragons that protect the land from greedy visitors. Is this just folklore—or is something ancient and powerful really calling from beneath the waves? Clubbing till 6 a.m. might sound wild, but it’s nothing compared to what’s flying over the Mediterranean at night… 🧜‍♀️🛸 Books Mentioned: Circe by Madeline Miller The Iliad and The Odyssey attributed to Homer  Watch the video version here.

In this very special Encounters episode, we take the paranormal party to The Bottle Shop, a local wine store in Beverly MA, to record live among the bottles (and perhaps a few spirits of another kind 👻). With a specially curated wine tasting list designed to pair perfectly with each spooky segment, this episode blends vino and the supernatural for the ultimate haunted happy hour. Stories include: A listener whose recurring nightmare of a severed head floating in a lake suddenly becomes horrifyingly real when they later see the same face staring back at them in an antique mirror. One listener’s life path is altered for the better when she sees her own doppelgänger with a small child, causing her to re-think an unhealthy relationship. Alex, the ‘not haunted’ Bottle Shop owner shares a sleep paralysis haunting of his own. After moving to Gettysburg, one listener needs all the help she can get to calm the ghost soldiers who roam her home each night at 3am. Pour yourself a glass and join us as we uncork a night full of laughs, scares, and spooky-sweet pairing notes you won’t want to miss. Browse The Bottle Shop here. Watch the video version here.

Hidden deep in the Appalachian Trail’s misty pines, the Wapiti Shelter is more than just a rest stop—it’s a place where true crime meets ghost story. In 1981, hikers Robert “Bob” Mountford Jr. and Laura Susan “Sue” Ramsay were murdered here by a stranger they’d shared dinner with, leaving behind a haunting that hikers still talk about. Fourteen years later, their killer returned, attacking two fishermen in the very same area. They survived a harrowing escape and life threatening injuries.  The Wapiti Shelter remains steeped in eerie tales, where every creak of the trees feels like a whisper from the past. Unseen touches, phantom cries, and vanishing figures make the site a chilling reminder that sometimes the scariest thing in the woods is human. Plus, this one is a cryptid sandwich. We start with a horrifying flesh pedestrian photo from a listener, and finish with an Appalachian cryptid listener story. Watch the video version here. Have ghost stories of your own?
