did he simone as "Sim oh nee" or am I tripping?
no newborns are teething they don't usually start teething til they're between 4-7 months, that's not a newborn
he's a terrible liar
Is anyone else having issues playing this episode? every time I click on it, it says an error has occurred?
Can we have the link to the bar stool photo on the bbc website please?
i love this podcast, it's a favourite of mine! keep up the good work!
I was excited for this podcast as loved the narrator and his Battersea Poltergeist. This however is incredibly confusing jumping between one story and another. Sadly off-putting.
hmm. if my best friend died I'd hold onto their very last words, and in conversation with other friends I would naturally tell them what had been said to me.
"a highly suggestible culture" does this woman think we all just sit around the open fire telling ghost stories? Ireland being portrayed as a nation of superstitious idiots. come on
just as I'm listening, a new episode gets uploaded!
oh dear....3 series in and recycling old episodes already. BBC never changes...
Can't play or download this one, errors out every time. Please reupload the episode
is anyone else having an issue playing this episode? just keeps saying there's a playback error. I've changed my battery optimisation setting in castbox but didn't help. all other episodes are playing fine.
If it was the lighthouse couldn't that have been proven on subsequent nights?
so glad you're back!
great story well told, but I was hoping for more emphasis on possible scientific/practical explanations. With regards to simultaneous hallucinations and nightmares in a common environment, that would indicate the presence of a toxin that they were exposed to in that environment, like black mold or a toxic building material, or something in the hall's food. I don't know how to address the poltergeist activity unless the whole thing is some sort of prank or hazing from other students, possibly including toxins or hallucinogens and practical tricks.
Hannah doesn't believe in the patriarchy. The ghost should've eaten her.
Don't know about scarey stories but that woman's singing gives me the jeebies🤣loving the show.
the goat was a symbol of fertility, not "lustfulness" and its history stretches back 7,000 years ago to the Caucasus mountains and the Kurgen Steppe nomadic cultures.
omg loads off podcasts are talking about the triangle UFO ATM
