Some hauntings seem to come from outside us.

A figure in a room. A voice in the dark. A presence moving through a house. But for Asher, the most unsettling presence in her life may have been something far more intimate — a former version of herself.

From childhood, Asher experienced strange dreams, disturbing images, powerful instincts, and an unexplained pull towards places, symbols, and behaviours she couldn’t understand. Years later, during a past life regression she entered with deep scepticism, she found herself inside another life: a woman of power, isolation, duty, grief, and loss.

What emerged was a story that seemed to echo through Asher’s own life in startling ways. A medieval setting. A royal identity. A life connected to Poland. A deep loneliness. A fear of childbirth. A recurring sense of inherited duty. And afterwards, research that appeared to lead her towards Queen Jadwiga, a historical figure whose life carried strange parallels with the memories uncovered under hypnosis.

But this account does not end with regression. Asher’s experiences also include near-death timing, protective presences, unexplained movement, spiritual awakening, and encounters with what she describes as lost souls seeking help.

A thoughtful, strange, and deeply personal episode exploring past life memory, reincarnation, spiritual encounters, and the possibility that some hauntings may not be tied to a place at all… but to the unresolved echoes of who we once were.

Beyond the jazz clubs and barbecue smoke lies a darker side of the American heartland, one shaped by frontier violence, ghost stories, and enduring legends.

Kansas City is often known for its jazz, railroads, and rich frontier history, but beneath the surface lies a city filled with ghost stories, urban legends, and echoes of a turbulent past. Join us as we explore the hauntings, folklore, and hidden history of Kansas City, from Civil War violence and historic theatres to infamous haunted locations and some of the American Midwest's most enduring supernatural legends.

A shape forming in an old refectory. A drinks can struck by something that wasn’t there. A blistered figure in a West Witton bedroom… and a white lady drifting through the walls of an Elizabethan manor.

In this collection of Fright Bites, four listener accounts bring together fleeting but unforgettable moments of the unexplained. A volunteer in a historic house sees white smoke gather into something almost human, before a later joke is answered by an icy touch to the face. On a quiet Essex road in the 1990s, an empty can shoots from beneath a parked car with no visible cause. A holiday cottage in West Witton becomes the setting for a series of disturbing night-time encounters connected to the legend of Owd Bartle. And at a Wiltshire manor, a witness recalls the white lady, the children who came and went, and other apparitions tied to old buildings and older memories.

Short, intimate, and witness-led, these are the kinds of experiences that leave no easy explanation - only the lasting sense that something briefly crossed over into ordinary life.

Hospitals are places where life and death sit closer than most of us ever see.

For one nurse, the unexplained began long before her career in intensive care. As a child, she saw shadows, sensed presences, and experienced strange figures in the family home. Later, in an old farm cottage, lights switched on by themselves, kettles boiled without touch, footsteps moved through empty rooms, and even the family dog seemed to follow someone no one else could see.

But it was during her years working in ICU that those experiences took on a deeper and more unsettling meaning.

Across night shifts, COVID wards, closed bays, and quiet corridors, she and her colleagues witnessed shadows moving past doorways, equipment shifting on its own, sudden changes in temperature, unseen hands, disembodied voices, and the shape of a person standing behind a patient’s curtain where no one should have been.

Most moving of all are the accounts from patients nearing the end of life — many of them describing visits from loved ones who had already passed, telling them it would be all right.

This Witness Files case is a thoughtful, intimate account of hospital hauntings, end-of-life experiences, and the quiet possibility that some wards never truly sleep.
