Ghost Stories For The End Of The World

An occult history of post-war politics, deep state intrigue, true crime, and the spooks, gangsters, politicians and outright monsters who've shaped our unnerving reality.

TOWNHOUSE - A Tale from the Graveyard Bunker

For your consideration:  TOWNHOUSE Graveyard Bunker is back, but tonight we’re not discussing history with a Halloween twist. Tonight, your humble host thought he’d tell you a real spook story.  I don’t believe in the supernatural, but I still, almost thirty years later, have no logical explanation for the series of strange events my family experienced in a certain house, in a certain place, over the course of three years in the mid-90s.  Perhaps you do.  Names and certain details/events have been changed or lightly fictionalised to protect the living. Out of respect for the dead, the rest has been told exactly as it occurred.   SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE: https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd

The Devil's Whore ii

A stroll through the suburbia at twilight takes an unexpected psychological turn; the werewolf approaches ever closer; we talk football films and football fascism; fascism as a weapon of the ruling class   **UNLOCK THE FULL EPISODE HERE** GHOST STORIES PATREON

99 - The Devil's Whore: A prologue in multiple parts

Part 1: Deep state hustlers, managed democracy and managed violence, the life and times of Tommy Robinson in his own words, Christian nationalism, O9A, MI5, gladio, dark money and dark ops, football firms, informants and assets, cocaine, the non-materiality of England, State accelerationism, and British fascism as an informal instrument of civic order. This is the prologue to A History of the Werewolf in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and we are standing on the edge.   **SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE** https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd   **SHOW SOUNDTRACKS HERE** https://ghoststoriesfortheendoftheworld.bandcamp.com/album/the-belgian-x-files-a-soundtrack

VATICAN SHADOWS BOOK 1: Opus Dei part ii

We explore the origins of the Vatican-CIA alliance and Josemaria's arrival in Rome. While Opus Dei consolidates its power in Spain and reaches an uneasy accommodation with Vatican II, it begins a major expansion into the new world, collecting friends everywhere from New York to Santiago. By the early 1970s, Opus Dei members are ready to play an integral role in the neoliberal coup in Chile, and offer theological and political justifications for the ensuing campaign of state terror and repression. This one has a bit of everything: faith, fascism, terrorism, miracles, murder and money laundering.   SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE: https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd

97 - These Dreams of Menwith Hill

We’re setting the table for the year ahead in Ghost Stories, and to do so we’ll be following a number of threads that may or may not have much to do with each other. Key to this one is the UK’s relationship with the US, which we use to explore how unnerving it feels to be alive in the Hermit Kingdom in the last days, its mind blown out by redundant upper management and a deep state that no longer has any purpose. We mainline the DMT released from the dying spider’s brain, exploring Keir Starmer as the Last Man, dreams in the imperial core, surveillance, terrorism, the dregs of empire, classified US-UK programs like GHOSTHUNTER and APPARITION, temporal dislocation, and long-dead spree killers haunting the Yorkshire moors.

BOOKS OF WAR 4: Belle Époque

People try to be the king but the ace is back, with a banging new theme tune and a story that explores the decadence of the Palermo Belle Époque. The mafia is now well entrenched and reaching ever further into the Italian system; a banking crisis exposes industrial-scale fraud and leads to the first eminent corpse.   This episode is free to all but most subsequent BOW episodes will be available ONLY ON PATREON, which is HERE:   https://www.patreon.com/GhostStoriesForTheEnd   Check out the imposing walls of sound I have erected to accompany various episodes and miniseries here:   https://ghoststoriesfortheendoftheworld.bandcamp.com/

DULCE MIDNIGHT RADIO 6: The Men in Black ft. Robert Skvarla

It's been too long since last we took the Saucer of Insight out for a spin through the feverish Caverns of the Mind, so tonight we're finally getting weird again to talk about those lovable scamps in human skin in black suits: THE MEN IN BLACK. Who they? Where be? What is? And but? All these questions and more will be answered as our good friend Robert Skvarla joins myself and Bradley to explore the social, cultural and political history of the MIB phenomenon.   SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE: https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd

ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968) and REC (2007)

This one goes off the rails in a major way because I'm out of practice and it's been a very long month. We begin with an overview of where the main show is heading and our plans for the future, then we talk about (in no particular order here): poison eurodwarf Polanski, occultism and control, Aktion T4, Yorkshire Aunties, pandemics, apartments, left wing thinkpieces, serial killers, if Boris Johnson really had covid, exorcism, the Catholic Church, escaped nazis, lockdowns, American voters, generational warfare, Ira Levin, my Donald Trump impression, homeworking, Satanic panics, hippies, the importance of commute time, and more besides. I am running on fumes and I need sleep. I love you all.   SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE: https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd   BELGIAN X-FILES SOUNDTRACK AVAILABLE HERE: https://ghoststoriesfortheendoftheworld.bandcamp.com/album/the-belgian-x-files-a-soundtrack

MIDSOMMAR (2019)

"A couple travel to Sweden to visit their friend's rural hometown for its fabled midsummer festival, but what begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult."   None of the synopses really get the pitch right but what the hell, this'll do.   Dir: Ari Aster   Joined for this one by Marcus and Seb of THE RETURN OF THE REPRESSED podcast

96 - The Belgian X-Files 19: 1985 (Epilogue)

"Set against the backdrop of Belgium's most notorious unsolved crime spree, 1985 begins as three friends - Vicky, her brother Franky, and his best friend Marc - begin a new chapter of their lives, when they set off from their hometown to Brussels. But as their adulthood and careers in the big city commence, the trio risks losing their innocence and noble illusions, as they find themselves caught in the middle of the horrifying events that shocked a generation and will come to leave a scar on the entire country."   Nic joins me for an epilogue of sorts to talk about the very good TV show 1985 and kickstart MOVIE SEASON the right way.   SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE: https://www.patreon.com/c/GhostStoriesForTheEnd   BELGIAN X-FILES SOUNDTRACK HERE: https://ghoststoriesfortheendoftheworld.bandcamp.com/album/the-belgian-x-files-a-soundtrack

Myself and @IRC_NIC discuss the sheer size of the case and consider what The Sprawl means. We go long on how the cops and the media conspired to kill the network angle, and then we look at the truly global scale of the Dutroux Affair and break down what, exactly, the Network was, its historical origins, the social context, how it worked, where it came from, and how it dealt with the threat of exposure.   **SUPPORT THE SHOW HERE** https://www.patreon.com/GhostStoriesForTheEnd

The Beatles had no good songs, since we're on the topic.
