Episode 41 – The Living Room Whisperer and Other Listeners’ Stories (Part 2) One late evening, I was sat downstairs alone, when everyone else had gone to bed. I was watching a movie on the TV, and I wanted to see the end as I wasn't that tired. Out of respect for the others in the house, I'd turned the volume down – to not disturb them – even though they were quite a way up in the house. As I was sat there, I began to feel uneasy, not something I'd ever felt in that house, or anywhere else for that matter. Feeling anxious, I was strangely afraid of making any sudden movement; I felt like I was being watched, I guess … this is when I began to hear something … it sounded like a cat’s bell slightly ringing, just like you'd hear if a cat was scratching itself. Now, they did have a cat, but I was certain that it didn't have a bell on its collar. It only seemed to ring for a second or two before it stopped, and made way for something that made my blood … run … cold … This is Episode 41 – Part 2 of the Haunted UK Podcast’s listeners’ stories, and it's once again time to be amazed and frightened by your stories.

‘The guys at work would tell me about the ‘’man who runs through the factory’’ during the “nights”. Now although I was a firm believer in the paranormal, I was young and brushed it off.

Episode 40 – The Attic and Other Listeners’ Stories Part 1 ‘It all really kicked off a month into living there. Three of the girls had gone home for the weekend … and three of us stayed. On the Saturday night, we were all at home in the lounge. The lounge certainly wasn’t an easy place to be: dark, musty, oppressive – even my dad felt a presence there when we first moved in, and not wanting to frighten me … he didn’t tell me. So, there we were relaxing, thinking about what we could watch, setting ourselves up for a Saturday night in when … suddenly, we heard loud running footsteps above us to the point where the ceiling was actually bouncing. We screamed, and all assumed a burglar had broken in as the front door was unlocked. The noises intensified and we got more and more panicked and terrified – but after trying to call our boyfriends to come round and getting no answer – we decided to investigate ourselves. Slowly, we started walking up the stairs to find out what was going on – I remember shaking – and when we were halfway up a loud bang at the top of the stairs sounded … and then a clattering of running footsteps towards us down the stairs … but we couldn’t see anything.’ This is Episode 40 – Part 1 of the Haunted UK Podcast’s listeners’ stories, and it's once again time to be amazed and frightened by your stories.
