Ghosts in the Headlines: Paul Weatherhead on Ghosts, Hoaxes, and Public Fear
2026/1/05 | 1h 4 mins.
At a time when science claims to explain almost everything, ghost stories still refuse to fade. In this episode of Haunted History Chronicles, I’m joined by author Paul Weatherhead to explore the strange cases that gripped Britain in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries — from violent apparitions and riotous ghost hunts to poltergeists, hoaxes, and even a royal spectre. Drawing on contemporary newspaper reports, Paul reveals how these hauntings reflect not just fear of the supernatural, but the social psychology of the people who reported, chased, and believed in them. Were these ghosts something more — or do they tell us more about ourselves than the dead?My Special Guest Paul Weatherhead Paul Weatherhead is a native of the Calder Valley in West Yorkshire and was brought up in Hebden Bridge. After several years teaching in Greece, Moscow and Northern Siberia, he returned to the Valley in the late 1990s. He has a longstanding obsession with the weird history of the area leading to the first edition of Weird Calderdale in 2003 which went on to become a local best-seller. His research into Alan Godfrey’s alien encounter led to a deeper investigation into the phenomenon, which formed his Master of Arts dissertation about the philosophy of alien abduction.Paul’s writing has been published in various magazines and journals, including Psychology Today, The Skeptic, Northern Life and Psychedelic Scene Magazine.Paul's fascination with the Halifax Slasher and other phantom attacker panics led to him working with renowned expert on mass hysteria Dr Robert Bartholomew on Social Panics and Phantom Attackers: A Study of Imaginary Assailants, published by Palgrave Macmillan. Paul's latest book is Phantoms of Christmas Past: Festive Ghost Hoaxes, Ghost Hunts and Ghost Panics, a unique approach to true Christmas ghost stories, combining the author's fascination with weird history and hysterical panics.In this conversation, expect insights into: Chilling cases drawn from real newspaper reports, including hoaxes and notorious public scaresInsight into what these accounts reveal about belief, fear, and society at the turn of the twentieth centuryIf you value this podcast and want to enjoy more episodes please come and find us on https://www.patreon.com/Haunted_History_Chronicles to support the podcast, gain a wealth of additional exclusive podcasts, writing and other content.Links to all Haunted History Chronicles Social Media Pages, Published Materials and more: https://linktr.ee/hauntedhistorychronicles?fbclid=IwAR15rJF2m9nJ0HTXm27HZ3QQ2Llz46E0UpdWv-zePVn9Oj9Q8rdYaZsR74INEWPodcast Shop: https://www.teepublic.com/user/haunted-history-chroniclesBuy Me A Coffee https://ko-fi.com/hauntedhistorychronicles Guest Links Website: https://paulweatherhead.com/ Podcast Link: https://weirdcalderdale.podbean.com/ Book Link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Phantoms-Christmas-Past-Festive-Hoaxes/dp/1803418400

When the Unexplained Moves In
2025/9/14 | 4h 10 mins.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like for your family home to become the centre of strange and unexplainable activity? In this episode of Haunted History Chronicles, we open the door to a story that has gripped investigators and researchers for years. The Society for Psychical Research has closely followed the case, but tonight you will also hear directly from the female homeowner who has lived through these experiences. She offers a rare and candid account of her family’s journey—how it began with subtle, unexplained disturbances and escalated into phenomena that could not be ignored.From mysterious wraps and taps, anomalous sounds, and apports, to objects vanishing or shifting before their eyes, the evidence gathered paints a haunting picture of a household under siege by forces beyond explanation. This deep analysis also revisits extraordinary events at the close of last year—events that culminated in a devastating house fire. What remains is a story of resilience, fear, and the search for answers when the paranormal moves in.My Special Guests Include Ynske Heeringa who is based in The Netherlands and joined the team of Paranormal Investigation UK in 2021 after having an interest in the paranormal and spirituality for many years, often looking at the paranormal with a healthy dose of scepticism. She is a member of the Dutch and English Society for Psychical Research (S.P.R).Tony Hayes is the Case Manager and Lead Investigator for Paranormal Investigation UK operating a small team of psychical researchers.

Guided By Spirits: The Story Of A Movement With Dr. Nick Richbell
2025/8/21 | 1h 1 mins.
In this episode of Haunted History Chronicles, I’m joined by Dr Nick Richbell, historian, archivist, and Spiritualist. Together, we discuss the fascinating world of spirit guides: what they are, how mediums have worked with them, and why they became such an important feature of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spiritualism. We explore famous cases, the rise of the movement, and the controversies surrounding fraud, scepticism, and representation in the Spiritualist press. With Nick’s unique perspective as both a historian and a believer, this episode offers a compelling look at Spiritualism’s past and what its enduring appeal reveals about society’s hopes, fears, and search for life beyond the veil.My Special Guest Is Dr. Nick Richbell Dr. Nick Richbell received his PhD in History from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. His area of research is the history of Spiritualism, and his doctoral dissertation is a biographical history about the medium Maurice Barbanell and his guide, Silver Birch. The teachings of Silver Birch are still talked about in Spiritualist churches today, however, Maurice Barbanell’s name is rarely mentioned. Barbanell spent 61-years dedicated to Spiritualism and Dr. Richbell’s research has started to correct this omission and put’s Barbanell back into the historical discourse about him being the twentieth-century’s leading propagandist of the religion and movement. Nick is currently finishing writing his book about Maurice Barbanell that will be published in 2026. Nick has long believed that there is more to life than an earthly existence. However, it was not until he started work as the Head of Special Collections and Archives at the University of Waterloo Library that he started to further consider the afterlife. The archives had two séance related collections. The Maines-Pincock Family collection holds records of seances conducted by the American medium William Cartheuser in the private home of Jenny O’Hara Pincock in St. Catharines, Ontario. Another collection, the Thomas Lacey Lecture collection contains over 400 lectures given by Lacey while in trance. Nick was able to bring in a new Lacey collection during his tenure at Waterloo: the Thomas Lacey séance collection: over 100 reel-to-reel tapes from the 1960s of recordings of seances conducted by Lacey in Kitchener, Ontario home. Nick is fascinated by the people in Spiritualism, and he began a journey, that continues today, to learn more about the British-born medium, Thomas Lacey. Nick was the research associate on the audio-documentary, The Ghost of Thomas Lacey, produced by Anthroscope Media. In this conversation, expect insights into: The world of spirit guides—their role in séances, Spiritualist belief, and how they shaped the movement’s rise in the 19th and 20th centuries.Unpack the controversies of Spiritualism, from fraud allegations and sceptics like Houdini to debates over race, gender, and representation.If you value this podcast and want to enjoy more episodes please come and find us on https://www.patreon.com/Haunted_History_Chronicles to support the podcast, gain a wealth of additional exclusive podcasts, writing and other content.Links to all Haunted History Chronicles Social Media Pages, Published Materials and more: https://linktr.ee/hauntedhistorychronicles?fbclid=IwAR15rJF2m9nJ0HTXm27HZ3QQ2Llz46E0UpdWv-zePVn9Oj9Q8rdYaZsR74INEWPodcast Shop: https://www.teepublic.com/user/haunted-history-chroniclesBuy Me A Coffee https://ko-fi.com/hauntedhistorychronicles Guest Links Email: [email protected]
