Haunted UK Fiction

A house that doesn’t behave. A space that won’t stay still. What if reality has rules… and this Willerby house breaks them?

"Mauve went round the house with Caitlin pulling down every blind, closing every curtain and turning off every light. “Where we’re going don’t fit with the shape of this world we’re used to,” she said, “and seeing things in it will mislead us. What looks, I don’t know, like a chair two feet way don’t mean in the places we are trying to get to there’s a chair two feet away. It could be a mile away. It might not be a chair…”

What begins as a strange set of instructions quickly becomes something far more disorienting, as familiar space begins to twist, stretch, and collapse into something unknowable.Distances shift. Objects deceive. And once you step inside, the world you understand may no longer apply. This original paranormal horror story explores altered dimensions, perception, and the terrifying idea of slipping into a place that doesn’t follow the rules of reality.

A late-night train. A silent passenger. Some journeys shouldn’t be taken alone.

“A faint suggestion of an arm could be made out from the folds and depressions in the blanket. Stranger still, Jake ascertained by its stance and posture that the figure was facing the wall, its nose all but touching it. As he looked at this shrouded figure the train had begun to move and leave the station. A few seconds into its movement, the car suddenly jolted, as though it had lost all power, the lights in the car also flickering out for a couple of seconds…” 

What begins as an ordinary journey quickly turns into something far more unsettling, as one passenger notices something that doesn’t belong, and can’t be ignored. In a place designed to move people from one stop to the next, something else may quietly remain on board. This original paranormal horror story explores isolation, confined spaces, and the quiet terror of being trapped with something you don’t understand.

A hospital at night. Empty corridors. The sense of something that shouldn't be there.

“It was 02:17. That hour again — the one that stretched too long, when the lights hummed and even the air seemed to wait... she felt wrong. Off balance. Watched. The panel glowed red: ROOM SIX. The door was ajar. She was certain she’d closed it... A shape stood inside, pale against the dim light... She pushed the door open. Empty.”

In this special collection, a series of interconnected tales unfold within the sterile, familiar world of the medical field, where routine meets the unexplained, and the night shift reveals what daylight keeps hidden. Doors open when they shouldn’t, rooms aren’t as empty as they appear, and something always seems to be watching. NHS Gothic is a collection of paranormal horror stories exploring unease, isolation, and the quiet terror of places built to preserve life…

If you enjoy this episode, continue your listening with:
Blackdamp (a tense and claustrophobic tale where unseen forces prove deadly)
It Shows Up When It’s Needed (a haunting story where presence emerges at moments of vulnerability)
The Thing in the Wall (a nightmare that crosses into reality, where something shouldn’t exist)

A collection of 3 strange micro-tales...

“A just perceptible sigh came from the thing in his hand, and a dark, rich brown powder appeared. Like smoke, it drifted into the air just past his face and blew towards the fence before vanishing…”

In this Flash Fiction Friday episode, we present three short, unsettling tales, each offering a glimpse into something strange, fleeting, and quietly disturbing. Not every horror needs time to unfold, sometimes, a single moment is enough. These bite-sized stories explore the uncanny, the surreal, and the uneasy feeling that something is just slightly… wrong.

If you enjoy this episode, continue your listening with:
Spores (a deeply unsettling story where something unfamiliar begins to take hold)
Folded In (a strange and disorienting tale where reality begins to shift)
The Thing in the Wall (a creeping horror where an entity crosses from imagination into the real world)
