A crime has been committed. A guilty man has been identified. But will the punishment fit the crime? Many a ghost story revolves around acts of injustice. An act of evil is committed, and then a terrifying, chilling act of supernatural vengeance is enacted to right it. But justice is a slippery thing. We may revel in seeing an act of revenge be carried out, but are we forgetting to ask whether that revenge is appropriate? Did the victim really deserve what happened to them?

It’s a section of road that’s lethal to the local wildlife. Not the sort of place where you’d want to find yourself stranded, and alone. Welcome to season 4 of this ghost story podcast, and prepare yourself for a chilling walk into the woods… Our first new supernatural case may be modern in terms of its setting, but its themes go back generations. History has a habit of repeating itself. And it can be frightening to consider what the future might have in store for you.

"Yes, you did well to awake," he said. "That warning came from your subconscious self, which never wholly slumbers, and cried out to you of deadly danger. For two reasons, then, you must help me: one to save others, the second to save yourself." While M.R. James may lay claim to being the most influential of the classic ghost story writers, E.F. Benson is by far the most prolific. He penned more than 50 of what he called 'spook stories', and like James, his gothic tales also tend to centre on bachelors, who have the time to indulge their interests, usually to their detriment. Unlike James, however, his creepy tales can take place in society rather than in isolated churches or libraries. And he tends to place his tongue firmly in cheek.

"They do say, as on All Saints' Eve them two bodies sits up on their slabs, and gets off of them, and then walks down the aisle, in their marble" Many old ghost stories have the reputation of being cosy. Stories to tell around the fireside to provide listeners with a pleasant terror. One of the surprises about Edith Nesbit’s stories – an author, let’s not forget, famous for her children’s classics – is that they don’t hold back. Her stories aren’t guided by a Victorian sense of justice and morality, of righting wrongs and punishing hubris. Innocent people get hurt; happy couples are torn apart. Her stories are written not just to offer chills but to deliver a shocking blow at their climax. Patrons help to keep this UK horror podcast going.

It’s not her battle, but it doesn’t matter. A score needs to be settled. And the only way to get her life back is to fight. - One of the many things that fascinates me about these real-life horror stories is how people come to live with what has happened to them. Regardless of how chilling or traumatising an experience may have been, you’ve still got to go home afterwards, do the shopping, answer your emails. The extraordinary and the ordinary end up living side by side. Terrifying, life-changing events are tempered by the comfortable, frustrating sense that everything must inevitably, somehow go back to normal. Patrons help to keep this English gothic podcast going.

Life is fragile. No matter how strong your career, your connections, the roof over your head. It only takes one vandal to tear it all down. We’re bringing season three of this supernatural podcast home with an epic two-part horror story. A tale in which speaking truth and standing up for yourself are just as frightening as any paranormal entity. Well… almost. This an uncanny case where one woman goes on a journey and has to face her own anxieties and grievances head-on, but is also forced to take on the burden of someone else’s demons. And they have even bigger scores to settle. Patrons help to keep this English gothic podcast going.

A ghost who cleans up after you isn’t so bad. But one that goes through your wife’s underwear, that’s a step too far... If your home is haunted, are you ever truly alone? If you share your living space with a spirit, what happens to your privacy? What can ghosts see? Supernatural stories often focus on the noises, the shocks, the scares. But what is it really like to live with something paranormal? What does it do to your senses, knowing that you’re living with something unexplained, that you can’t understand or predict. Can you ever really feel at home there? Can you ever truly feel safe? Patrons help to keep this British uncanny podcast going.

It was a beautiful garden, except for the weeds. Strange black stems, with red flowers. And a deadly aroma. Rather than a haunting, this is another frightening case from the weird section of my paranormal archive. There’s a long tradition of scary plants in horror. They’re something we can’t control, that creep and grow sometimes where we don’t want them too. Slowly, gradually, they can be destructive. We have to keep them in check, or they can take over the spaces where we feel safest. Patrons help to keep this ghost story podcast going.

He needs to prove he can be a responsible parent. Provide a good home for his family. If he could only do something about the damp… Case no 288 is amongst the most upsetting of the stories that have featured on this real life horror podcast to date. We’ve had real supernatural cases before where the pressures of parenthood have led to horrible outcomes. But what makes this chilling case more frightening is that if events occurred as the subject claims they did, then it’s simply terrifying. If it didn’t happen that way, and the subject is not telling the truth, what might really have occurred, is even more disturbing.
