  • Philip: The Ghost That Never Was

    Philip: The Ghost That Never Was
    Sep 21 2026
    In the early 1970’s a small group of Canadians making up the Toronto Society for Psychical Research set out to prove the existence of ghosts and poltergeists. Such an investigation was sure to need a highly controlled experiment if it were to hold any integrity at all, and the Toronto group felt they had created just that, when they sat for several years, communicating with their very own poltergeist. There was one small twist, however, and that’s that the poltergeist never actually existed and was nothing more than the product of their own imaginations.SOURCES Owen, Iris (1976) Conjuring Up Philip: An Adventure in Psychokinesis.

  • The Willie Starchfield Murder Mystery

    The Willie Starchfield Murder Mystery
    Sep 8 2026
    On a cold, grey January afternoon in 1914, a railway carriage travelling through north London shuttled along its route, carrying a grim secret. Beneath a third-class carriage seat lay the body of five-year-old Willie Starchfield, strangled and carefully concealed from view. Earlier that day, Willie had been sent out on an errand and never came home. The police launched a struggling investigation, hampered by a voracious press and conflicting witnesses, that eventually concluded with the arrest of Willie’s own father. Yet when the case finally reached court, the truth remained frustratingly out of reach. SOURCES The Star (1914) N.L.R. Train Murder. The Star, Fri 9 Jan 1914, p1. London, UK.

Long-term fan of this show, former history lecturer can only recommend these bizarre histories - they are very well researched, so have an excellent basis in fact. The author is aware of his resources and possible bias of them, making this a joy for the critical listener. To top this, the information is engaging presented in good prose allowing anyone to follow the curious tales.

Fascinatingly told and well researched.
