Episode 8: It Was Standing Behind Her

Some moments are over in seconds…But stay with you forever.

In this episode of Beyond The Veil, Brett and Lee explore two chilling listener experiences — both rooted in ordinary situations… that took an unexpected and deeply unsettling turn.

A routine shift. A familiar journey home.

Nothing out of the ordinary… until something changes.

Moments that are impossible to explain… yet equally impossible to forget.

So the question is…

Were they alone?

Or did something step closer… just long enough to be noticed?

In this chilling episode of Beyond The Veil, Brett and Lee explore one of the most unsettling and debated areas of the paranormal — Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP).

Voices captured on recordings…
Words that were never heard in the moment…
Messages that only reveal themselves on playback.

Brett and Lee share two deeply unnerving listener stories, where ordinary moments turned into something far more disturbing — recordings that seem to contain voices with no clear source, raising questions that are difficult to answer… and even harder to ignore.

Alongside these encounters, we dive into the theory behind EVP — from scientific explanations such as auditory pareidolia and signal interference, to the belief that these voices could be attempts at communication from something beyond our understanding.

Are these sounds simply tricks of the mind…Or are we capturing something that shouldn’t be possible?

Put your headphones on. Listen closely.
And decide for yourself.

Because once you hear it…

You can’t unhear it.

Some experiences don’t begin in adulthood.
Some begin when you’re small enough to still believe your imagination is playing tricks on you.

In this deeply personal episode of Beyond The Veil, we’re joined by Rachel — the voice behind our social media — as she steps out from behind the screen to share her own chilling brushes with the paranormal.

From a childhood memory of seeing a man standing silently in her grandmother’s window…
To living inside a pub where footsteps, the ringing of a bell, presences and unexplained activity made it impossible to relax…
To the strange and unsettling occurrences continuing in her current home…

This is not one isolated event.

This is a pattern.

This is phenomena that span decades and refuse to be easily dismissed.

Are some people more sensitive to the unseen?Can certain places hold on to energy?Or once you’ve had one experience… does something follow?

If you’re fascinated by real ghost stories, true paranormal encounters, haunted locations, spirits, and unexplained phenomena — this episode is one you won’t want to miss.

Listen now… and decide for yourself.

Two ordinary places. Two unsettling encounters.And a lingering sense that something unseen was listening.

In this episode of Beyond The Veil, we share two chilling listener-submitted stories that refuse to be easily explained.

Paul recounts an experience that began quietly, almost unremarkably — before escalating into something that left him questioning what he had encountered long after it ended.

We then head to Hull’s Hepworth Arcade and the now-closed Coffee Cup Café, a location already steeped in whispers of paranormal activity. Listener David takes us inside the café after hours, where strange sounds, unexplained movements, and a single moment of defiance provoke a response that was impossible to ignore. From missing objects and frightened customers, to a presence that seemed very aware it wasn’t alone, this is a story that suggests some places do not appreciate being challenged.

These are not legends passed down through generations.They are recent. Personal. And deeply unsettling.

As always, listener discretion is advised.
Once you step beyond the veil… you may start to notice what’s been there all along.

In this extraordinary episode of Beyond The Veil, we are joined by William C. Grave, author of the #1 bestselling paranormal books The Lady in the Bay Window and The Lady in the Bay Window 2.

For more than 20 years, William has lived inside one of Britain’s most infamous haunted houses — Number 333 — a seemingly ordinary home hiding an extraordinary and deeply unsettling history. In this intimate and revealing conversation, William opens up about the relentless paranormal activity he has experienced, the spirits that appear to linger within the house, and how living alongside the unexplained has profoundly changed his life and worldview.

We discuss chilling witness accounts, unexplained phenomena, and the emotional toll of coexisting with a haunting that refuses to fade. William also reflects on why he continues to stay, what keeps him grounded, and how the experiences documented in his books have shaped both his personal life and his work as an author.

And during the recording itself… something unexpected may have happened.

As the conversation unfolds, we believe we may have captured unexplained paranormal activity on tape — an eerie moment that raises more questions than answers and blurs the line between storytelling and real-time experience.

Join us for a powerful episode where history, personal testimony, and the paranormal collide — and where the veil between worlds may have grown dangerously thin.

If you’re fascinated by true hauntings, real-life ghost stories, and encounters that defy explanation, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

In this spine-tingling Christmas special, Brett and Lee invite you to gather close, dim the lights, and settle in beside the fire as we explore four chilling tales of festive paranormal encounters. From spectral visitations to eerie winter folklore, each story is steeped in the strange, the uncanny, and the wonderfully supernatural.

We also delve into the unusual history connecting the Christmas season with ghost stories — a tradition far older and darker than many realise. Why has midwinter always been a time when the veil thins, shadows lengthen, and the dead are said to walk?

Join us as we unwrap the mysteries of the season and step once more… Beyond the Veil.

In this chilling episode of Beyond The Veil, we are joined by historian, researcher, and author Mike Covell for a deep dive into the haunted heart of Hull. From ancient legends to modern encounters, Mike walks us through the city’s most infamous locations, uncovering the dark histories, eerie accounts, and unexplained phenomena that have shaped Hull’s supernatural landscape.

Together, we explore some of the most compelling hauntings Mike has ever investigated, revealing how fact and folklore intertwine within the city’s streets, buildings, and forgotten corners.

We also turn our attention to one of the UK’s most controversial paranormal cases: 39 De Grey Street.

Surrounded by rumours, contradictions, and heated debate, this property has long divided investigators. With Mike’s extensive research and firsthand knowledge, we attempt to separate myth from reality and finally bring clarity to a house that has captivated the paranormal world for years.

Prepare for a gripping conversation that blends history with horror, research with raw experience, and documented truth with the terrifying unknown.

In this spine-tingling episode of Beyond The Veil, Brett and Lee dive deep into one of the most unsettling modern paranormal phenomena: The Black Eyed Children.

These mysterious, pale-skinned children with jet-black eyes have been reported across the globe — knocking on doors late at night, lurking on lonely roads, and approaching unsuspecting witnesses with a strange request… always accompanied by an overwhelming sense of dread.

Join us as Lee uncovers the origins of the legend, from its first documented encounters in the 1990s to the growing number of terrifying sightings reported since. We trace their lore, their behaviours, the theories behind what they might be — and why people fear letting them in.

We’re also joined by our guest Kat, who shares her extraordinary real-life story of what may have been a near-encounter with Black Eyed Children during a family camping trip. Her experience is one you won’t forget.

Prepare yourself for an atmospheric journey into one of the most chilling paranormal mysteries of our time.
