Haunted UK Podcast

For most people, the thought of an island holiday conjures up images of sun, sandy beaches, relaxation… perhaps the sights and sounds of tropical birds, maybe a dash of adventure, or a guided excursion through a foreign landscape. Countless visitors flock to islands on holiday every year, and most of them have a wonderful time, returning to their daily lives feeling refreshed and rejuvenated… but for some who, perhaps, chose a sunny island with a darker side, a holiday can take an unexpected turn… leaving some of them to return home traumatized, and in some cases, accompanied by an entity.

This is Haunted UK Abroad, and in this episode, we're exploring mysterious and haunted islands around the world.

There’s nothing quite like scheduling a holiday… the anticipation as the departure date approaches, packing up the night before, setting off to the chosen destination – whether new or familiar. Then there’s the excitement of arriving at the location you will call home for a few days or weeks… but what if things were to take a dark turn? What if the accommodation you’ve booked isn’t as peaceful and relaxing as you thought it would be…? What if, perhaps, there are inexplicable sounds in the night… or you feel an unseen presence in the room with you?

This is Haunted UK Abroad, and in this episode, we're exploring some of the most Haunted Hotels in the world.

Haunted UK Abroad - Ghostly tales and Legends of Quebec – Part 2 Early settlers in what would become the Canadian province of Quebec were known for being hardy, resourceful, proud people, having to survive both the harsh climate of the region and the persistent threat of assimilation which could potentially lead to the loss of their culture, traditions, and history. Over the course of centuries, their stories were passed down, to both record this rich cultural history and to warn the population of the various dangers of the land.

From the ghost of a caged witch, a unique take on the werewolf and deals with the devil, to the many ghosts left behind by the challenges of settling a new frontier, the stories are as varied as they are numerous. 

This is Haunted UK Abroad, and in this episode, we’ll explore the legends, mysteries, and lore of the French-Canadian province of Quebec.

Quebec is known as one of the most historically and culturally rich provinces in Canada. Its culture is one filled to the brim with folklore and legends, to the point where there are books dedicated entirely to traditional French-Canadian fairy tales and lore. These stories intertwine the influences of both early French settlers and the Native American tribes that populated the region.

Most of the legends were kept alive by Raconteurs, the French-Canadian equivalent of bards or minstrels who would use oral storytelling traditions to both keep their people’s history and culture alive and pass on warnings about the consequences of moral failings such as greed or selfishness. These tales spread throughout the land as the Raconteurs travelled the region, spreading stories that would often feature religious undertones, such as deals with the devil and the dire consequences that ensued, to keep morality, superstition, and obedience at the forefront of the burgeoning population’s minds. Many of these stories are still familiar to the current population of Quebec and continue to be told to this day.

This is Haunted UK Abroad, and in this episode, we’ll explore the legends, mysteries, and lore of the French-Canadian province of Quebec.

Between the years of 1865 and 1901, the United States saw unprecedented economic and industrial growth. During this time, an area referred to as The Berkshires in the state of Massachusetts became the primary location for the country’s wealthiest families to build country estates that would rival many of the UK’s manor houses in both stature and size. These estates, despite their grandiose nature, were referred to as the Berkshire Cottages due to their primary function being summer homes. Many of these houses hosted lavish events attended by the highest of high society figures at the time. Over a century after the Berkshire Cottages’ heyday, echoes remain of former inhabitants who aren’t yet prepared to leave their grandiose, gilded age homes behind.
