  • Ep 95 - The Christmas Spirits
    Dec 6 2024

    As we enter December and get ever closer to Christmas, which, for many, is a very, very special time of year. This is the perfect time of year, on this cold, dark, winter’s evening to explore twenty different locations the world over which are said to be the haunt of spooks that only make an appearance at Christmas.

    As the snow falls gently outside, and twinkling fairy lights illuminate our homes, let’s gather together around the warmth of the fire to delve into the spectral side of Christmas, and ask just how haunted does it get around Christmastime?

History, Haunting and Humour

I loved the deep dive into the history of all the hauntings Rob Kirkup talks about in these podcasts episodes. so much history, everything is so well researched, it's genuine findings about ghost stories.

Very enjoyable

I like the history, the haunting stories and the reasons they couldn't be hauntings as well as them possibly being hauntings. I also like that they are a good length, I hate when a podcast ends after 20 mins. I am very much enjoying this series.

Absolutely Brilliant

Absolutely love Rob's podcast. he's an extremely knowledgeable man who puts his historical expertise into every story he tells and I'm not sure what part I like better..... the history or the ghosts!

Overall, one of the top podcasts I listen to and would recommend to anybody with an interest in history, ghosts or both!

Excellent storytelling

Rob weaves together a narrative of both the history and paranormal expertly. Episodes are well researched and bring to life the stories of locations without over-the-top dramatics. Highly recommended
