In the quiet desert town of Apache Junction, Arizona, Lori steps into what should be a fresh start—an ordinary home with nothing remarkable about it. But the stillness doesn’t last. Something about the house feels wrong from the very beginning, as if it has been waiting for her.

Before long, strange events begin to unfold. Unexplained sensations. An overwhelming feeling that she is no longer alone. Then comes a terrifying encounter centred around one room in the house that changes everything.

Was it an overactive imagination, coincidence… or was something unseen trying to make its presence known?

In Episode 14 of This Is A Ghost Story, Kathryn, Alison and Andrew explore a chilling haunting that has left listeners questioning what can really exist beyond our understanding. As always, they examine Lori’s reported experience, discuss the possible explanations, and ask the question at the heart of every episode:

A quiet Christmas evening.

A routine house-sitting job.

Then… every light in the house suddenly goes out.

In this episode of This Is A Ghost Story, we travel to South Africa to hear a chilling true account from paranormal podcaster Shane Campbell.

While looking after a friend’s home, Shane and his wife became convinced that someone had broken into the property. An open car door. Running footsteps inside the house. A desperate race back to rescue their puppy. But when neighbours, security officers and family searched the house…

There was no intruder.

Only more questions.

Was someone hiding inside the property that Christmas night? Could there be a perfectly ordinary explanation? Or did Shane encounter something far more unsettling?

Join Kathryn, Alison and producer Andrew as they explore another real-life paranormal experience, examine the possible explanations, and leave you to decide what really happened.

A huge thank you to Shane Campbell and the Creepy & Paranormal podcast for allowing us to share his extraordinary story.

What do you think?

Was it an intruder…

or something that couldn’t be seen?

If you’ve experienced something strange, paranormal or completely unexplained, we’d love to hear from you. Your story could feature in a future episode of This Is A Ghost Story.

New episodes every Monday.

Episode 12 – The Southwark Priest and the Ouija Board

This week, This Is A Ghost Story delves into two eerie tales passed down through Kathryn & Alison's own family.

The first takes us back to pre-war South London, where generations of one family witnessed the silent appearance of a mysterious priest walking through their home. His unexplained visits became an accepted part of family life… until one remarkable discovery changed everything.

The second story jumps to the 1960s, when a seemingly harmless Ouija board session among friends took an unsettling turn after one question received an answer nobody expected. What happened next left everyone present shaken and became a story that would be retold for decades.

Alongside these remarkable family accounts, we explore the folklore surrounding ghostly guardians, the history of Ouija boards, and the possible explanations behind experiences that continue to divide believers and sceptics alike.

Were these simply extraordinary coincidences… or something far more mysterious?

As always, we’ll leave that for you to decide.
