A second-hand wardrobe.

An antique mirror.

Then… something changed.

In this episode of This Is A Ghost Story, Kathryn and Alison tell the unsettling true account of listener Kayla, whose life took a terrifying turn after bringing home an old wardrobe with a large mirror attached.

What began as an ordinary purchase soon became something she couldn’t explain. Strange experiences, disturbing dreams and an overwhelming feeling that she was no longer alone left Kayla questioning whether the mirror was simply reflecting her room… or something far more sinister.

Could an ordinary piece of furniture really carry something from its past, or was there another explanation for the chilling events that followed?

Andrew also explores the history of haunted mirrors, the idea of cursed objects, and the paranormal theories that surround them.

A story that may make you think twice before bringing antiques into your home.

In the summer of 2003, what began as a peaceful evening walk through woodland at Ashridge, near Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, quickly became something far more unsettling.

When Mary, her husband John, and their young daughter ventured into the woods, they expected nothing more than fresh air and wildlife. Instead, they encountered a series of events that have stayed with them for more than two decades.

It started with a strange sight high in a tree. Then came a brilliant white light hanging silently in the sky, a mechanical sound that echoed through the woodland, followed by an event so disturbing that the family fled in fear.

What exactly did they witness that evening?

Was it a simple misunderstanding of natural events, or did this family experience something that defies conventional explanation?

Join Kathryn, Alison and Andrew as they explore one of the most intriguing UFO encounters to emerge from the Hertfordshire countryside.

This is 'The Light in the Woods: The Berkhamsted UFO Story'.

In November 1979, three young men stood beside a broken-down car on the outskirts of Paris… and within hours, one of them would vanish without a trace.

A week later, he returned.

But to him, only minutes had passed.

In Episode 3 of This Is A Ghost Story, Kathryn, Alison and producer Andrew dive into one of Europe’s most chilling and controversial alien encounter cases — The Cergy-Pontoise Abduction.

Was Franck Fontaine really taken aboard an unidentified craft?
Was it an elaborate hoax?
Or did something genuinely unexplainable happen in the freezing darkness outside Paris in 1979?

From missing time and mysterious lights to hypnosis, media frenzy and lingering unanswered questions, the team unravel a story that still divides UFO researchers to this day.

Expect eerie narration, unsettling discussion, and Andrew’s research breakdown into what has been uncovered about the case since it first shocked France.

👽 Missing time.
👽 UFO encounters.
👽 A vanished week nobody could explain.

This… is a ghost story.
