In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie revisits a personal experience from the old Gosport Smallpox Isolation Hospital on Monks Walk - a place designed to separate the sick from the public during outbreaks of infectious disease.

What began as a quiet investigation inside the abandoned site quickly became something far more unsettling. While sitting inside a small room centred around a Ouija board, Jamie describes a sudden internal shift - not something seen or heard, but something felt.

A pressure.
An urge to speak.
A moment where control felt uncertain.

This episode explores that experience through a grounded and reflective lens, considering the space between environment, psychology, and the possibility of something beyond explanation.

Rather than offering answers, it focuses on the feeling itself -and how moments like this can stay with us long after we leave the place behind.

Topics include:
Gosport isolation hospital, smallpox history, Ouija boards, paranormal investigation, psychological perception, environment and atmosphere, and unexplained experiences.

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie shares a personal experience involving a crucifix purchased from an antique shop - an object that stayed on his mind long after he first saw it.

What began as a simple purchase gradually developed into something more reflective, as wearing the crucifix became part of daily life. Over time, this was followed by an unexpected shift in thinking, including a growing curiosity around church and belief that hadn’t previously been present.

This episode explores the crucifix not just as a religious symbol, but as something shaped by history, meaning, and personal interpretation. It considers whether the object itself had any influence, or whether it simply brought attention to something that was already there.

Through a grounded and reflective lens, this episode sits between psychology and spirituality, examining how symbols, environment, and awareness can shape the way experiences are understood.

Topics include:
Crucifix symbolism, belief, psychology, religious influence, personal experience, perception, and unexplained shifts in thought.

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie explores the idea of witchcraft — not as it’s often portrayed, but as something rooted in intention, belief, and personal experience.

From early curiosity and fascination, to using spiritual practices during a time of grief, this episode reflects on what witchcraft can represent on a personal level. It looks beyond stereotypes to explore how intention, environment, and emotion can shape the way these practices are experienced.

The episode also considers the idea of witchcraft “going wrong” — not in dramatic or exaggerated ways, but in subtle shifts in perception, atmosphere, and awareness that can feel difficult to explain.

Through a grounded and reflective lens, this episode explores the space between psychology and spirituality, and whether experiences linked to witchcraft come from something external… or something within us.

Topics include:
Witchcraft, spiritual practice, intention, energy, grief and healing, psychological perception, ritual, and unexplained experiences.

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie explores the story of the Annabelle doll — one of the most famous and widely debated haunted objects in the world.

Unlike the version portrayed in film, the real Annabelle is a simple Raggedy Ann doll, reportedly linked to a series of unsettling events that brought it to the attention of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.

This episode looks beyond the popular narrative to explore the history of the Annabelle case, the reported hauntings, and the accounts that led to the doll being considered dangerous. It also explores the wider question of whether objects can truly hold negative energy, and how belief, environment, and psychology shape the way we interpret these experiences.

As Jamie prepares to come face to face with the real Annabelle at Pennhurst, the episode reflects on what it means to stand in front of an object surrounded by decades of fear, story, and reputation — and whether that reaction comes from something external, or something within us.

Through a grounded and reflective lens, this episode explores haunted objects, possession, and the human tendency to assign meaning and energy to the physical world around us.

Topics include:
Annabelle doll history, Ed and Lorraine Warren, haunted objects, possession, paranormal investigation, psychological perception, spiritual belief, and unexplained phenomena.

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie shares a real personal experience — a story of living in a house that never quite felt right, and the unexplained events that followed.

In 2012, Jamie and his partner Chris moved into a small fisherman’s cottage in Bognor Regis. From the outside, it appeared completely ordinary — a quiet coastal home with no known history of paranormal activity. But from the very beginning, something about the house felt different.

What began as a subtle sense of unease gradually developed into a series of unexplained experiences. Kitchen cupboards found open each morning with no clear explanation. The sound of footsteps in an otherwise empty house. A dark figure seen standing beside the bed in the early hours. And the physical sensation of someone sitting on the mattress, despite no one being there.

Rather than focusing on sensational claims, this episode explores a real haunted house experience through a grounded and reflective lens. It examines the gradual shift from uncertainty to awareness, and how environments can influence perception, emotion, and memory over time. The episode also reflects on the moment where, after asking whatever was present to leave, objects were thrown across the room — an experience that ultimately led to leaving the property.

Through a calm and thoughtful approach, this episode considers the space between paranormal experience and psychological interpretation. It also touches on spiritual sensitivity, and whether some individuals may be more receptive to unexplained phenomena than others.

Topics include:
Haunted house true story, real paranormal experience UK, Bognor Regis ghost story, unexplained phenomena, shadow figure sighting, footsteps in empty house, spiritual sensitivity, and the psychological impact of paranormal activity.

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie explores the enduring mystery of Bigfoot also known as Sasquatch a creature that has occupied a strange space between folklore, eyewitness testimony, and modern investigation for decades.

Across the forests of North America, hikers, hunters, and researchers have reported encounters with a tall, human-like figure moving silently through remote wilderness. Massive footprints have appeared in mud and snow, strange vocalisations have echoed through mountain valleys, and one short piece of film recorded in 1967 continues to fuel debate between believers and sceptics alike.

Rather than focusing only on sensational claims, this episode traces the origins of the Bigfoot legend, beginning with Indigenous traditions that describe powerful forest beings long before the modern name “Bigfoot” entered popular culture. The episode then follows the development of the mystery through twentieth-century sightings, the famous Patterson–Gimlin film, and some of the most discussed encounters and recordings associated with the phenomenon.

Through a grounded and reflective lens, the episode examines how Bigfoot evolved from regional folklore into one of the most recognisable cryptid legends in the world — appearing in documentaries, investigations, and modern popular culture while still remaining unresolved.

Topics include:
Bigfoot and Sasquatch folklore, Indigenous forest traditions, the Patterson–Gimlin film, Ape Canyon, the Sierra Sounds recordings, and the enduring cultural fascination with unexplained creatures.

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie explores the history and paranormal reputation of Farrar Elementary School, a former rural schoolhouse in Polk County, Iowa that has become one of the most well-known haunted locations in the American Midwest.

Rather than focusing only on ghost stories, this episode traces the origins of the school, the community it once served, and the decades of everyday life that unfolded within its classrooms. Built in the early twentieth century, Farrar School educated generations of children before eventually closing its doors in 2001 as rural school districts consolidated across the region.

In the years following its closure, reports of unexplained sounds, footsteps, and paranormal encounters began to circulate, drawing investigators and curious visitors to the abandoned building. Today, the property has taken on a new chapter in its story, having been purchased by paranormal content creators Sam and Colby, who plan to preserve the location and continue exploring its history and reported hauntings.

Through a grounded and reflective lens, this episode examines how places like Farrar evolve over time - from community institutions to abandoned landmarks, and eventually into locations surrounded by myth, investigation, and cultural fascination.

Topics include:
Farrar Elementary School, rural American school history, abandoned buildings, paranormal investigation, local folklore, and the evolving cultural fascination with haunted places.

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie explores the history of Pennhurst State School and Hospital - an institution that became one of the most infamous symbols of America’s treatment of people with disabilities in the twentieth century.
Rather than focusing on ghost stories alone, this episode traces the origins of Pennhurst, the beliefs that shaped its creation, the daily lives of those who lived inside its walls, and the long process that led to its exposure and eventual closure.

Through a grounded and reflective lens, this episode considers institutionalisation, disability, and neglect, alongside the later reframing of Pennhurst as a haunted location - exploring how places of harm are remembered, mythologised, and reinterpreted over time.

Topics include:
Pennhurst State School and Hospital, institutionalisation, disability history in the United States, eugenics and social policy, deinstitutionalisation, Halderman v. Pennhurst, survivor testimony, and paranormal folklore.
