  • Case 180: South Shields Poltregeist - Part 2
    Jun 19 2025

    In the quiet coastal town of South Shields, England, a young family found themselves at the center of one of the most terrifying and well-documented poltergeist cases in recent history. Beginning in late 2005 and continuing through 2006, their home became a battleground against an unseen force that defied logic and shattered their sense of safety.

    This wasn't just a series of unexplained noises or fleeting shadows—this was a full-blown assault by an entity that seemed to possess both intelligence and malice.


    Imagine waking up to find your child's toys arranged in disturbing configurations, or receiving threatening text messages from an unknown source.

    Picture furniture moving on its own, objects levitating and being hurled across rooms, and even physical attacks that left bruises and scratches.

    The family, whose real names remain undisclosed, experienced all this and more, leading to a year-long investigation by seasoned paranormal researchers.

    Their findings were so compelling that the case was featured in the Journal of the Society for Psychical Research and has been the subject of numerous books and articles


    In this episode, we take you back to finish the story.

    We'll explore the chilling evidence, the investigators' firsthand accounts, and the lingering questions that continue to baffle experts.

    If you're fascinated by tales of the supernatural, skeptical of things that go bump in the night, or simply love a good mystery, this is one story you won't want to miss.

  • Case 178: Hull House Chicago USA
    May 22 2025

    Welcome back listeners!

    We have a great episode for you this week which highlights the amazing changes to reform in the USA but also the hauntings in a very historic site.


    Nestled in the heart of Chicago's Near West Side, Hull House stands as a testament to social reform and a beacon for the supernatural.

    Established in 1889 by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr, this historic settlement house provided refuge and support to immigrants and the underprivileged. However, beyond its philanthropic mission, Hull House has garnered a reputation as one of Chicago's most haunted locations, captivating the imaginations of locals and visitors alike.


    Among the myriad of ghostly tales, the legend of the "Devil Baby" stands out. In 1913, stories emerged of a deformed infant with pointed ears, scales, and a tail, allegedly born to a local woman and hidden within Hull House. Despite Jane Addams' efforts to dispel the myth, throngs of curious onlookers flocked to the house, hoping to catch a glimpse of the infamous child. This tale, deeply rooted in cultural and religious tensions of the time, continues to intrigue and unsettle.


    Beyond the Devil Baby, Hull House is rife with reports of paranormal activity. Visitors and staff have recounted sightings of a "Lady in White," believed to be the spirit of Millicent Hull, the original owner's wife who died in the house. Others have reported unexplained footsteps, cold spots, and apparitions of children playing in the courtyard. These enduring legends contribute to Hull House's status as a focal point for ghost tours and paranormal investigations in Chicago.


    Join us in this episode as we delve into the eerie history of Hull House, exploring the intersection of social activism and the supernatural. We'll unravel the stories that have cemented its place in Chicago's haunted lore, from the chilling legend of the Devil Baby to the spectral sightings that persist to this day.

  • Case 177: Cortijo Jurado – Spain’s Amityville Horror
    May 8 2025

    Suggested by our listener Dave Man (thanks, Dave!), this episode dives into the chilling legend of Cortijo Jurado, an abandoned 19th-century mansion near Málaga, Spain. Often called “the Spanish Amityville”, this grand but decaying estate is infamous for satanic rituals, alleged torture chambers, and ghostly encounters.

    Over the decades, Cortijo Jurado has gained a terrifying reputation as one of the most haunted places in Spain. Locals whisper about missing girls, dark rituals, and paranormal phenomena—from shadowy figures in windows to voices echoing through the empty halls.

    Anne and Renata dig deep into the history, the hauntings, and the controversies. Is this just a case of gothic folklore run wild, or is there something truly sinister in the shadows?

    🎙️ Listen now to uncover:

    • Who lived at Cortijo Jurado and why they were suspected of horrific crimes
    • Eyewitness stories of supernatural events at the mansion
    • The fine line between Spanish urban legends and terrifying truth

  • Case 176: The Haunted Columbia Gorge Hotel Oregon
    Apr 24 2025



    Nestled high above the mighty Columbia River in Hood River, Oregon, stands a grand, ivy-clad hotel. To some, it’s a charming getaway wrapped in old-world elegance. But to others… it’s a gateway.

    Welcome to the Columbia Gorge Hotel — a place where time seems to ripple, where ghostly whispers echo through the halls, and where guests have checked in… but haven’t always checked out.

    Built in the 1920s, this historic hotel has hosted the elite, survived the Great Depression, and seen decades of change. But beneath its polished floors and roaring fireplaces lies a chilling energy that many visitors can feel… and some claim to have seen.

    In this episode, we’ll explore the tragic tales of loss and longing that may still linger in the walls, the reported sightings of spirits wandering the corridors, and the legends that continue to haunt the Columbia Gorge Hotel.

    So dim the lights, pour yourself something warm — or something stronger — and join me as we step inside one of the Pacific Northwest’s most haunted havens.

    This… is the Columbia Gorge Hotel.

  • Case 175: The Beechmount Poltergeist Belfast
    Apr 10 2025

    "They say not all ghosts linger quietly... Some come with noise, fury, and a thirst to be noticed. In the heart of Northern Ireland, nestled among the quiet streets of Beechmount, a storm once raged inside a house that never made the news — but became the stuff of whispered legend."


    "Furniture moved on its own. Walls echoed with knocks no one could explain.

    Objects vanished — only to reappear in impossible places.

    And those who entered... weren’t always alone."




    "Tonight, we're peeling back the wallpaper of the ordinary to uncover what really happened behind closed doors. Was it a prank? A troubled mind? Or did something far more powerful — and unseen — make its presence known?"

    "This is the story of the Beechmount Poltergeist — and the restless energy that refused to stay silent."

  • Case 174: The Villisca Axe Murder House
    Mar 27 2025


    In the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa, nestled among rolling fields and tree-lined streets, stands a house with a past so dark it still sends shivers down the spines of those who dare to step inside. Over a century ago, in the dead of night, an unknown killer crept through its halls, wielding an axe, leaving behind a crime scene so brutal it remains one of America’s most infamous unsolved mysteries.

    The house has stood ever since—its walls soaked in whispers of the past, its air thick with something that can’t quite be explained.

    Who could have committed such a horrific act?

    And why does the house seem to hold onto the echoes of that night, as if time never really moved forward?


    Paranormal investigators, skeptics, and thrill-seekers alike have all reported strange occurrences—disembodied voices, shadowy figures, and an overwhelming sense of dread that lingers long after they leave. Some say the spirits of the murdered family are still trapped there, while others believe something far more sinister has taken root.


    In this episode we’re unlocking the doors of the Villisca Axe Murder House, stepping back in time to relive the chilling events of June 10, 1912.

    We’ll explore the gruesome crime, the baffling investigation, and the eerie hauntings that make this house one of the most terrifying places in America.


    So dim the lights, listen closely, and prepare yourself—you may not be alone.

  • Case 173: The Five Fishermen - An Unlikely Place for a Serving of Ghosts with Dessert
    Mar 13 2025

    YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!

    SURVEY REQUEST: if our listeners could fill in this survey, it would be appreciated. It will help us attract sponsors :) Many thanks

    http://bit.ly/truehauntings-survey


    The Five Fishermen is a popular spot to grab a delicious meal in downtown Halifax, but the space it calls home wasn’t always a restaurant. In fact, in the early 1900s, the building was a mortuary and funeral home — one that housed victims from the Titanic and the Halifax Explosion. Believe me you will want to hear about the Halifax Explosion!


    Could some of these poor, unfortunate souls have decided never to leave the building? Any regular visitor of The Five Fishermen would say that’s undeniably true. Patrons and staff claim to hear mysterious whispers, see glasses fly off shelves, and, on certain occasions, witness haunting apparitions sporting clothing from a bygone era — who are certainly not looking to make a reservation!


    In this week’s episode of the True Hauntings Podcast we head to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada to find out whether the souls of the dead still hang around the Five Fishermen.

    Who are they and what are they still doing there?

    Let's find out!!
