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.

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie reflects on the Moors Murders, one of the most tragic true crime cases in British history.

This episode explores the events of the crimes, the social context of Britain in the 1960s, and the lasting impact on families, communities, and the landscapes connected to what happened. Rather than focusing on notoriety, this episode centres the victims and the long shadow left by violence — the unanswered questions, the enduring grief, and the quiet way trauma can become tied to place.

Through a grounded and compassionate lens, we consider how harm moves through ordinary spaces, how memory changes the way we experience certain locations, and why some places feel heavy long after events have passed. This episode also reflects on responsibility, influence, and the conditions in which violence can grow, without excusing what was done.

Topics include:
British true crime, The Moors Murders, 1960s Britain, victim remembrance, unresolved loss, grief and trauma, the psychology of harmful relationships, and how places can carry memory.

Listener discretion advised.

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie reflects on two remarkable objects found within the tomb of Tutankhamun - a dagger forged from meteoritic iron and a scarab carved from Libyan Desert Glass.

Rather than focusing on curses or mythology, this episode explores humanity’s long relationship with the night sky and how ancient cultures understood materials that fell from beyond the Earth. It reflects on what it may have meant to hold fragments of the cosmos in human hands, and how these objects were woven into beliefs about death, rebirth, and continuity.

Through a grounded and reflective lens, this episode considers ancient meaning, human curiosity, and the enduring pull of the stars - and how our fascination with what lies beyond our world is far older than we often realise.

Topics include:
Ancient Egypt, Tutankhamun’s tomb, meteoritic iron, Libyan Desert Glass, ancient beliefs about the afterlife, early cosmology, and humanity’s historical relationship with the night sky.

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie reflects on the life and death of Anneliese Michel – a young woman whose suffering became one of the most widely known exorcism cases in modern history.

Rather than focusing on sensationalism or fear, this episode explores the human cost behind the headlines, and the cultural and religious context of 1970s Germany, where faith, guilt, and limited understanding of mental health shaped how her experiences were interpreted and responded to.

Through a grounded and reflective lens, this episode considers trauma, belief, and the space where religious conviction, mental health, and human suffering intersect – and how deeply held beliefs can both offer meaning and cause harm when care becomes entangled with doctrine rather than compassion.

Topics include:Anneliese Michel, exorcism, possession and belief, Catholic ritual, 1970s Germany, religious faith, mental health, trauma, and the historical treatment of psychological distress.

In this special episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie documents a first investigation at Rowtons Museum of the Paranormal & Spirituality - housed within the historic Penuel Chapel in Carmarthen, Wales.

This is not an episode about jump scares or proof.

It’s a quiet, reflective account of presence, belief, and what it feels like to sit in a space shaped by centuries of prayer, healing, and spiritual intention.

Through a gentle séance, unexpected communication, and moments of stillness, this episode explores how places can hold memory - and how listening can sometimes matter more than filming.

With full permission and collaboration from Laura and Erik, custodians of Rowtons Museum, this episode is shared as lived experience only - not evidence - and invites the listener to consider a deeper question:

What remains when belief leaves its mark on a space?

Aileen Wuornos is remembered as America’s first female serial killer.
But before the headlines, before the trials, before the deaths - there was a child shaped by abandonment, abuse, and survival.

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, we explore Aileen’s life with empathy and honesty, while never excusing the harm she caused. We honour the victims, acknowledge the lives lost, and ask a deeper question:

If we are energy, what happens to suffering when a person dies?
Do trauma and violence leave an imprint on time and space?
Are some hauntings not spirits - but echoes of what once happened?

This is not a sensational retelling.
It is a reflective journey into trauma, consequence, and the unseen residue of human experience.

Because some ghosts don’t live in buildings.
They live inside people.

Built in 1145, the Ancient Ram Inn is one of England’s oldest and most haunted buildings. Located in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, this medieval inn has been linked to centuries of folklore, witchcraft, imprisonment, and unexplained activity.

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, we return to the Ancient Ram Inn after multiple investigations, using real footage captured on location, to examine repeated paranormal experiences and the psychological weight of the building itself.

Rather than sensational claims, this episode explores residual haunting, environmental memory, and why certain places seem unchanged by time or attention.

Join us for our first ever video version of Beyond Haunted UK the same stories, now brought to screen.

In the quiet hills of Western New York stands a small farmhouse with a history so disturbing that the Catholic Church authorised an exorcism not of a person, but of the building itself.

Within days of moving in, a family reported footsteps outside bedroom doors, voices calling their children by name, and scratching coming from inside the walls. As the activity escalated, the house appeared to respond watching, reacting, and resisting intervention.

In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, we explore the Hinsdale House case in full from the history of the land and the experiences of the Dandy family, to the exorcism that witnesses say only subdued the activity rather than ending it.

Because some places don’t just hold memories.
They push back.
