    Episode 107: Ghost Stories From Conwy: My Childhood Holiday Town
    Oct 28 2026

    Is Conwy the most haunted town in North Wales? In this suitably spooky episode, Chyaz explores some of the most fascinating ghost stories from her childhood holiday town, one of the places she credits with inspiring her love of the paranormal. From grand houses haunted by their tragically departed owners and the restless spirits still wandering Conwy Castle to the alleged curse cast over the town by an otherworldly creature, this spine tingling edition of the podcast will stick with you long past the 31st October. After all, remember what Chyaz always says: ghost stories are for life, not just for Halloween.

    Episode 105: The Mary Celeste Ghost Ship Mystery
    Oct 14 2026
    In December of 1872, a ship named the Mary Celeste was found adrift in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. When the salvage crew boarded the vessel, they discovered that it was in good shape, yet it was entirely deserted: a true ghost ship. But what on earth happened to the 10 souls who had been on board? And why had they abandoned the Mary Celste so far from shore?

    Episode 103: The Last Witch Imprisoned in Britain
    Oct 1 2026

    Meet Helen Duncan, the Scottish psychic medium who became one of the most famous séance leaders in the nation…as well as the last person to be imprisoned in Britain under the Witchcraft Act of 1735. But if you thought this incident took place sometime in the 18th century, you’d be mistaken. Would you believe that Helen was actually locked up as recently as 1944? This is just one of the endless bizarre details in this incredibly strange tale, which spans two World Wars and countless scandals. Helen might be one of the most fascinating people covered on the podcast to date…

    Episode 100: The Strange Death of Elisa Lam: Part 2
    Sep 9 2026
    The strange and mysterious death of Elisa Lam at the former Cecil Hotel in 2013 went from a local missing person case to a worldwide spectacle in a matter of days. When bizarre CCTV footage of some of Elisa’s movements in the hostel’s elevator went viral, internet sleuths quickly started forming increasingly outlandish theories as to what could have happened to her. But is the truth behind her tragic passing much easier to explain than the online posts would have you believe? In Part 2 of Episode 100, Chyaz explores the facts of this unusual case, addresses and debunks some of the most viral theories and highlights some of the exceptionally weird coincidences linked with the story.Mental health resources UK: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mind.org.uk/ ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mental health resources Global:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://unitedgmh.org/support/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Where to find us!
