We’ve got a proper bumper episode for you lot today – kettle on, this one’s a ride.

First off, we’re diving straight into the Drake vs Kendrick Lamar beef 🔥 – from Like That to Not Like Us, breaking down every bar, every diss, and who’s actually winning this war of words. Then we’re having a natter about Taylor Swift’s wedding news 💍 – because come on, we all need a bit of pop culture gossip before we get to the spooky stuff.

But then we take a hard left turn into the dark and unsettling case of Herb Baumeister – one of the most chilling serial killers in American history. We’ll talk through the horrors uncovered at Fox Hollow Farm, the investigation that finally caught up with him, and the downright eerie hauntings reported at the property since. It’s grim, it’s fascinating, and it’ll leave you thinking about it long after you’ve finished listening.

This one’s a bit of everything – gossip, drama, and full-on true crime chills – so stick your headphones in, grab a brew, and get comfy.

Alright – Sean here! This week’s episode is a bit of a mad one. Dissertation’s finally done, brain’s just about functioning again, so we’re back to regular spooky business.

We kick things off by completely ruining your childhood with some of the wildest Shrek conspiracies floating about online. Apparently Donkey might be a cursed human, and Shrek’s swamp? Could be sitting on a literal graveyard. Proper weird stuff – sorry in advance.

Then we head up north to dive into one of Britain’s dodgiest mysteries – the death of Zigmund Adamski. Retired miner goes missing, turns up days later on top of a coal heap with strange burns, covered in some mystery green gel, but no coal dust on him at all. Then, just to make it creepier, a local copper spots a UFO not long after. Feels a bit X-Files if you ask me.

So grab a cuppa (or a cheeky pint), get comfy, and let’s dive into hauntings, high strangeness, and one of Yorkshire’s most baffling cold cases.

This week’s episode starts with something close to home – a Zillennial rant about the state of education. From Blair’s “education, education, education” promise to the endless conveyor belt of degrees, debt, and dashed hopes, Sean reflects on what it means to be a student today – hopping between universities, writing a dissertation on sociopolitical homophobia in Russia, and still finding the job market more hostile than haunted.

But once that’s out of the way, we turn the corner into something even darker: the Belle Plain Murder House. Nestled in rural America, this unassuming home hides a gruesome history of violent crimes, chilling deaths, and reports of hauntings that refuse to let the past rest. From whispers of the murdered, to strange activity that still unsettles visitors, Belle Plaine is more than just another “creepy old house.” It’s a place where violence has seeped into the very walls.

👻 Expect a mix of true crime and the paranormal as we dive into both the documented murders that took place here and the hauntings that followed. Was it cursed by tragedy, or is something else keeping the dead from moving on?

So pour a drink, lock the doors, and settle in for another episode where the living and the dead cross paths – and where history refuses to stay buried.

In 1993, a quiet home in Westhoughton, Greater Manchester, became the centre of one of Britain’s most unsettling paranormal cases. What started as small disturbances soon escalated into chaotic activity—flying objects, furniture moving on its own, oil spills, and witnesses left shaken to their core.

But was this really the work of a restless spirit? Or something far stranger?

This episode of The Zillennial Spooks begins with a personal reflection on the everyday struggles of Zillennial life—the pressures, anxieties, and uncanny feeling that the world itself is unsettled—before delving into the chilling events that terrified a family, baffled investigators, and left behind a legacy of fear that still lingers in Westhoughton today.

We’ll explore first-hand accounts, reported evidence, and the cultural climate of the early 90s that made this case so notorious. Was it a hoax, hysteria, or proof that the supernatural can—and does—break into ordinary life?

Lock the doors, dim the lights, and join us as we step into the mystery of The Westhoughton Poltergeist.

Scotland’s night skies aren’t just home to clouds and stars — they’ve played host to two of the UK’s most baffling UFO encounters. In this eerie episode of The Zillennial Spooks, Sean dives into the infamous A70 abduction and the unsettling Dechmont Law incident.

Back in 1992, two mates driving near Edinburgh were swallowed by a blinding light and lost nearly two hours of time. Under hypnosis, they claimed a chilling close encounter with beings that left them shaken to their core.

And in 1979, forestry worker Robert Taylor came face to face with a bizarre craft in Dechmont Woods, an encounter so serious it became the only UFO sighting ever treated as an actual police investigation in Britain. Ground marks, torn clothing, and a shaken witness — this was no simple tall tale.

Were these fellas unlucky witnesses to something not of this Earth, or is there another explanation lurking in the Scottish mist? Pop the kettle on, keep one eye on the skies, and prepare to get spooked.

Atchison, Kansas, might look like small-town America — but on one quiet street sits a house with a reputation that chills even seasoned ghost hunters. In this spine-tingling episode, host Sean steps inside the infamous Sallie House, where the line between haunting and horror is razor-thin.

What began as a supposed visit from a child spirit named Sallie soon twisted into something far darker. Residents reported toys moving on their own, shadowy figures stalking the halls, and the most terrifying detail of all — unexplained scratches appearing on people’s skin. Paranormal teams left shaken, sceptics left doubting themselves, and the legend of Sallie grew with every frightened witness.

We dig deep into the history, from the house’s unsettling past to the modern-day investigations that keep its story alive. Is Sallie the ghost of a lonely little girl — or a mask for something far more sinister?

Lock the doors, keep your back to the wall, and remember: some invitations from the other side should never be accepted.

Rochdale isn’t just another Northern mill town — it’s a place where history’s shadows seem a little darker, and whispers in the night carry a little further. In this unnerving episode, host Sean lifts the veil on one of Britain’s strangest and most unsettling hauntings: the Rochdale Poltergeist.

We dive into the chilling events of the late 1990s, when a quiet home in the heart of town became a battleground between the living and something far less welcome. Furniture moved of its own accord, objects hurled across rooms, and terrified residents claimed to feel unseen hands tugging at their clothes. Paranormal investigators, police officers, and even clergy would walk away shaken — some convinced they’d just faced pure evil.

From eyewitness testimonies to the theories that swirl around the case — was it restless spirits, a psychic outburst, or something darker still? — we piece together a tale where reality frays at the edges.

Is Rochdale haunted? Or was it all an elaborate trick of fear and the human mind? Draw the curtains, keep the lights low, and prepare to meet what may still linger in the shadows.

Between 1988 and 1994, a quiet corridor of the North West — the East Lancashire Road — became a dumping ground for the dead. Four women, each killed in brutal, methodical ways. Stabbed. Strangled. Dismembered. Was it the work of a single sadistic killer? Or a coincidence hiding in plain sight?

In this episode, we dive into the chilling cases of Linda Donaldson, Maria Requena, Vera Anderson, and Julie Finley — victims of a phantom the tabloids dubbed the East Lancs Ripper. We trace the investigation through forensic dead-ends, media frenzy, and cold case speculation that still casts a long shadow over Northern England.

And we ask: Could this mystery tie into one of Britain’s most notorious modern serial killers? Or is the Ripper just a story we told ourselves to make sense of senseless violence?
