Ep 144 - The Ghost Trail of Blackpool Part 1

In episode 144 we travel to a place millions know as Britain’s favourite seaside resort… but beneath the bright façade lies a far older, far darker story. Long before the thrill rides, arcades, and dazzling Illuminations, this stretch of coastline was shaped by shifting sands, fierce storms, and tragedies lost to time. From prehistoric hunters and wrecked sailors to Victorian holidaymakers and performers who never left the stage, this town has gathered layer upon layer of tales — countless lives lived, lost, and whispered about in the shadows. Tonight, as the autumn nights draw in and the sea breeze carries the echoes of the past along the promenade, join me… and together let us ask: just how haunted is Blackpool?
