  • The Haunting Spirits of Christmas

    The Haunting Spirits of Christmas
    Dec 10 2024

    In this festive episode of Just Ghosts, we uncover the quirky and chilling tradition of Christmas hauntings. From Victorian ghost stories that thrilled audiences by the fire to real-life hauntings that bring the supernatural into the season of goodwill, there’s more to the holiday spirit than meets the eye.


    We’ll introduce you to Highgate’s most unusual apparition—a featherless chicken, the unfortunate legacy of Sir Francis Bacon’s 17th-century experiments. At Willington Mill, the ghostly cast includes mysterious footsteps, a floating eyeless head, and even spectral cats, all making mischief during Christmases past. And at Windsor Castle, royal ghosts like Queen Elizabeth I and King Henry VIII continue to make their presence known in the quiet of the festive season.

    On the fictional front, we explore Ramsey Campbell’s The Christmas Present, a story that blends Christmas tradition with a sense of mounting dread. Its unsettling mix of carolers, flickering lights, and ominous gifts will linger with you long after the wrapping paper is gone.


    Whether you love quirky tales or stories that send shivers down your spine, this episode captures the strange magic of Christmas hauntings, where the past and present collide in unforgettable ways.

  • November's Phantom Roads

    November's Phantom Roads
    Nov 18 2024
    You’re driving late at night, the road stretches ahead like an endless ribbon swallowed by the dense November fog. The cold, damp air clings to everything, muffling sounds and creating an unsettling stillness. Your headlights cut through the mist, casting long shadows that dance and flicker at the edges of your vision. Every so often, you catch a fleeting movement—a shape, shifting in the corner of your eye. Is it merely a trick of the light? Or is there something... someone... standing silently in the darkness, watching as you drive past? In this episode, we dive into six of the UK’s most notorious haunted roads—each with its own chilling tale.

  • Halloween Haunts

    Halloween Haunts
    Oct 30 2024
    There's something universal about our fascination with the supernatural. It crosses cultures, centuries, and belief systems. Across the world, in the quiet corners of ancient villages and bustling modern cities, people have shared tales of things that move in the dark. Maybe it’s a shadow that shouldn’t be there, a chill that cuts through a summer’s day, or a whisper in an empty room. In our first episode, we ask a centuries-old question: why do we believe in the supernatural? To answer this we'll uncover the origins of Halloween and take a deep dive into two haunting stories that capture the eerie spirit of the season.
