Raised in a quiet Scottish village cradled by hills and lochs, her childhood was shaped by the whispers of her great-grandmother —stories of second sight, banshees crying by the river, and the mist that wasn’t just mist.

S01 - Episode 08 - Blackdamp by T. J. McLaughlin Pierce saw a large group of men appear from a bellowing wall of white. Like ghostly figures emerging from beyond the supernatural veil. They were carrying a man on a makeshift stretcher. Pierce’s eyes still were not great, and he thought someone had covered the man in a velvet blanket for warmth, but as the struggling group got closer, he could see that it was no blanket. Blood covered the man from head to toe...

Just sharing the magic of the Northern Lights last week… 🩷💚

Screeenshot of the linked village homepage. Text reads: Willerby is a village in the heartland of England. We're very old - there have been people here for thousands of years. ​ There's an ancient church with even older barrows around it. The churchyard has five-hundred year old graves carved with the surnames of people who still live here. There's a pub on the river and a village green with a rusting bandstand. ​ It's usually quiet - but strange things happen here. The supernatural is as normal to us as the weather. There are many ghosts, we aren't firmly tethered in time and we're visited by folk from very far out places. We have learned to manage it all. Our stories are about how we do that. ​ We'd like you to read them Lino cut image of the village mains street. Timbered cottages, a cobbled street under a streaked sky.

S01 - Episode 07 - Roadsong by Glenn Quigley A jukebox blasted out some Chuck Berry. He knew the tune but not the words. His mother liked Chuck, she had played his music all the time when he was growing up. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d heard it. Or any music, come to think of it. Had they been listening to the radio in the car? He didn’t think so, but hadn’t there been a tune? Perhaps Nina had been humming as she drove…  Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The Haunted UK which features original flash fiction, short stories, and novellas with paranormal themes.
