What if the “haunting” was staged? What if the poltergeist activity was faked by someone close to you? Someone violent?

Why People Fake Ghosts & How We Exposed Them

In this revealing ASSAP Paranormal Webinar, seasoned investigator Caroline McKendrick Gibson shares three real cases from her files where people deliberately faked paranormal activity — sometimes with shocking motives.

From coercive control using fake scratches, causing burns, to an elaborate pulley-system hoax caught on video, and a dramatic family case ruined by one explosive lie — these stories expose the darker side of ghost hunting.

With psychological insights from psychotherapist Martin Gibson, this episode explores why people hoax, how investigators spot deception, and what it means for genuine paranormal claims.

If you enjoy intelligent discussions about the paranormal, real investigations, and critical thinking — this one’s for you.

Ever felt a sickening thud against your car, only to find nothing there? Join us as we explore the chilling road ghosts of Nottinghamshire, featuring the legendary Black Monk of Felley and the mysterious "floating woman" of Nuthall. We also investigate the high strangeness of Linby, a village packed with time-slip anomalies, Cavalier ghosts, and even a warning from a WWII propagandist.

In this talk I separate the facts from the folklore.

We dive into the real history of eccentric widow Jenny Burton – the pipe-smoking 95-year-old whose family still live in Hucknall – alongside the very different tales of a murdered old woman, a young girl who hanged herself for love, and the chilling 1817 murder of Elizabeth Shepard whose memorial still stands on the A60.

Along the way we meet hooded figures, headless coachmen, vanishing legs in white breeches, and how one passionate speaker at Parameet accidentally created a brand new piece of local folklore by weaving all three together.

Along with a number of other notable stories from the region!

A proper deep dive into local history and explore also how ghost stories evolve.

Every county has its stories—familiar tales of iconic sites steeped in legend, their myths retold so often they’ve become part of the fabric of local lore. But instead of treading these well-worn paths, let’s venture into the shadows, off the beaten track, where the stories are stranger and less familiar.

Join me as we uncover Nottinghamshire’s hidden mysteries—a tapestry of uncanny encounters, forgotten folklore, and the truly bizarre. Together, we’ll explore tales that have slipped through the cracks of history, delving into the county’s lesser-known accounts of high strangeness.

In 1969, strange occurrences were reported at St. Peter’s Church in Radford. In full view of the congregation strange events occurred, and just what happened to that candlestick?

Of the characters said to be within the walls of The Sal, a young spirit "Rosie", an urchin girl of about 4-5 years of age.
A personal encounter? And we get to explore beneath with a private guided tour and the apparent growing shrine dedicated to Rosie

One night, a man awoke suddenly and went to close his curtains, only with equal parts surprise and terror, to see shadowy figures jittering and jerking, climbing out of the old cottage garden well. This is the case of The Shadows that Stepped out of the Well
