  • High Strangeness of North London
    May 21 2026

    *NEW SERIES from ASSAP

    Gladys San Juan explores the unseen — the strange forces that move quietly alongside us. She finds the extraordinary lurking in the ordinary, starting in the eerie, liminal spaces of Highgate and Queen’s Wood.

    Expect haunted vibes, reality glitches, and that skin-crawling feeling that something’s watching you while you’re just trying to have a normal walk in the woods. Recorded on location. Gladys sets out her vision, and where she wishes to go with the series is this eerie opener.

    Produced by Kristian Lander for the ASSAP Media Network, this is the first episode of six to eight mind-bending explorations of high strangeness in the UK. Think of this as a deliciously weird bonus series alongside ASSAP Seriously Strange.

    If you like your podcasts atmospheric, honest, and a little bit unhinged, hit play. Gladys doesn’t just report the strange… she feels it.

    Bringing that Miami, Cuban vibe with a lifetime of experience, exploring many avenues in her journey.

    Gladys SJ lectures across the capital and beyond, on film production. Cutting her teeth in the industry, working as a continuity producer/director.

    The Hunt for Gollum and Star Wars: The Force Awakens are among her many credits.

  • Can a Ghost Be in Two Places at Once? Supernatural Scheduling
    May 19 2026

    Can a ghost be in two places at once? Why do certain historical figures seem to manage an impossible portfolio of multiple hauntings across the country?

    This week, ASSAP explores the phenomenon of mobile spirits, supernatural schedules, and bilocation. We trace the legends of Britain's "busiest" ghosts—including Anne Boleyn's headless carriage rides, Dick Turpin’s endless pub-haunting trail, and Admiral Nelson's secret spectral meetings. Plus, we cross the Atlantic to look at Abraham Lincoln’s White House apparitions and the mystery of his phantom funeral train.


    Finally, we dive into the world of bilocation and transvection with the unbelievable 17th-century case of Sister Maria, a cloistered nun who somehow managed to preach to tribes in the Americas without ever leaving her convent in Spain.


    Are these genuine hauntings, or does folklore simply adapt to fulfill human needs? Hit play to find out!
