    After expressing his situation, Pauls wife has very recently passed away in August 2026, now finds himself in a difficult mental space, facing countless letters and financial stress. I asked the question, "How can I help?", "How can ASSAP help?"


    Together, we forged the idea of a special presentation, this one. Exploring his passions of UK Haunted Hotels, Pauls has several well-regarded published books, ideal for the paranormal traveller and dark tourist. Great gift idea!

  • Are Ghosts an echo of cultural trauma?
    Sep 15 2026

    Historical ghost stories in the United Kingdom act as a cultural "scar" or a faded mythic memory on the landscape. Rather than necessarily proving the existence of restless spirits, these legends represent a folkloric response to past violations of social consensus, cultural stress, or shared national traumas- such as armed conflict, religious upheavals, or severe social inequality.


    Written by Guest Robert Moore and Presented by Guest Kristian Lander

  • Beardo on Controversy, Debunking & Real Paranormal Research
    Sep 9 2026

    In this episode of Seriously Strangk from ASSAP, host Kristian Lander talks with Beardo (BeardoGetsScared), the well-known paranormal YouTuber and investigator known for his skeptical, evidence-focused approach with a sense of humour and a mission to call out poor practices in the field.

    Beardo discusses double standards in paranormal content, the reliability (or lack of it) of common ghost-hunting gadgets, residential investigations, the rise of AI and deepfakes, psychic mediums, shows like Help My House is Haunted, historical research, and the tension between genuine inquiry and entertainment.


    He also answers live audience questions on topics ranging from the Lady in the Bay Window case to 30 East Drive hypotheses and the future of evidence in a world of easy fakes.

    A thoughtful, no-nonsense conversation for anyone interested in the paranormal beyond the hype.

  • Ghost Catchers vs. The Law: The Wrexham Ghost Riots 1874
    Sep 1 2026

    Featured guest: Dr. Mike Benbough-Jackson In September 1874, the town of Wrexham was consumed by a unique wave of hysteria—a ghost hunt that devolved into a full-scale social disturbance. Who were the ghosts?

    In this episode where paranormal history, British folklore, and true crime coalesce, this week our Featured guest is Dr. Mike Benbough-Jackson unpacks the strange true story of the Wrexham Ghost Riots. What began as a hunt for a mysterious attacker—fueled by a cash bounty—quickly transformed into a mob of 400 ghost catchers patrolling the streets with weapons and dogs.

    We explore the bizarre entities reported in Victorian newspapers—from giant stilted spectres leaping over walls to dark phantoms lurking along town boundaries—and examine how this unusual episode of Victorian urban legends reflected the deep-seated social anxieties and class tensions of 19th-century Wales

  • Bridging the Spectral & the Stellar: Non-Human Intelligence
    Aug 18 2026

    Featured guests are Ash Ellis and Greg Thomlinson take us on a fascinating journey that links classic ghost research and modern non-human intelligence encounters. Might they be investigating the very same phenomena?Drawing on historical figures such as Jürgenson and Raudive, the Estes Method, trance states, and contemporary field observations, they explore whether the same underlying intelligence (or trickster-like phenomenon) may be at work across both hauntings and high-strangeness UFO cases.
    Drawing on the pioneering work of Jürgenson, Raudive and others, radio-sweep techniques, trance states and field observations, they ask whether the same curious (or trickster-like) intelligence might be answering us across both spectral and stellar territories.🔔 Subscribe for regular webinars and podcasts!Like 👍, comment 💬, and share your own eerie experiences in the comments.🌐 Join & Learn MoreBecome an ASSAP Member: https://www.assap.ac.uk🎙️ Listen on the GoAudio Podcasts: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Amazon Music and moreVideo: Youtube | Spotify | Rumble | OdyseeSearch "Seriously Strange"📱 Connect With UsX / Twitter: @ASSAParanormalFacebook Group: ASSAP Group Facebook: ASSAP British UFOlogy GroupInstagram and Threads: ASSAP_Paranormal🗣️ Hosted by: Kristian Lander & Dr Mike Benbough-Jackson📅 Recorded Live
