  • Folded In by Willerby | A twisted tale of mystery and danger

    Folded In by Willerby | A twisted tale of mystery and danger
    May 6 2026
    A house that doesn’t behave. A space that won’t stay still. What if reality has rules… and this Willerby house breaks them?

    "Mauve went round the house with Caitlin pulling down every blind, closing every curtain and turning off every light. “Where we’re going don’t fit with the shape of this world we’re used to,” she said, “and seeing things in it will mislead us. What looks, I don’t know, like a chair two feet way don’t mean in the places we are trying to get to there’s a chair two feet away. It could be a mile away. It might not be a chair…”


    What begins as a strange set of instructions quickly becomes something far more disorienting, as familiar space begins to twist, stretch, and collapse into something unknowable.Distances shift. Objects deceive. And once you step inside, the world you understand may no longer apply. This original paranormal horror story explores altered dimensions, perception, and the terrifying idea of slipping into a place that doesn’t follow the rules of reality.

    If you enjoy this story, continue your listening with:\
    Shortcuts (another unsettling tale from Willerby, where a simple path leads somewhere it shouldn’t)
    Spores (a deeply unsettling story where something begins to spread beyond control)
    The Thing in the Wall (a nightmare where reality begins to break and something crosses through)

    About the Story
    Folded In comes from the mysterious town of Willerby — a place that seems to exist slightly out of step with the rest of the world.These stories were discovered during the early planning stages of Haunted UK Fiction, on a website documenting the town and its inhabitants. The identity of those behind it remains unknown, but permission was granted to share these accounts under a number of unusual conditions.

  • The Last Passenger by Iain Maynard | A daily commute turns to terror

    The Last Passenger by Iain Maynard | A daily commute turns to terror
    Apr 29 2026
    A late-night train. A silent passenger. Some journeys shouldn’t be taken alone.

    “A faint suggestion of an arm could be made out from the folds and depressions in the blanket. Stranger still, Jake ascertained by its stance and posture that the figure was facing the wall, its nose all but touching it. As he looked at this shrouded figure the train had begun to move and leave the station. A few seconds into its movement, the car suddenly jolted, as though it had lost all power, the lights in the car also flickering out for a couple of seconds…”

    What begins as an ordinary journey quickly turns into something far more unsettling, as one passenger notices something that doesn’t belong, and can’t be ignored. In a place designed to move people from one stop to the next, something else may quietly remain on board. This original paranormal horror story explores isolation, confined spaces, and the quiet terror of being trapped with something you don’t understand.

    If you enjoy this story, continue your listening with:
    HMP Signal’s End (a claustrophobic and tension-filled tale where something refuses to stay contained)
    Blackdamp (a suffocating underground horror where unseen danger proves deadly)
    The Swaying Woman of Skelton Wharf (a haunting encounter where a single moment lingers long after it should)

    About the Author
    Iain Maynard is a lifelong fan of the paranormal, with a passion for horror across books, film, television, and theatre. Drawing inspiration from real locations and lived experience, his work brings the uncanny into familiar, everyday settings.

  • NHS Gothic by John Wharton | A collection of hospital hauntings

    NHS Gothic by John Wharton | A collection of hospital hauntings
    Apr 22 2026
    A hospital at night. Empty corridors. The sense of something that shouldn't be there.

    “It was 02:17. That hour again — the one that stretched too long, when the lights hummed and even the air seemed to wait... she felt wrong. Off balance. Watched. The panel glowed red: ROOM SIX. The door was ajar. She was certain she’d closed it... A shape stood inside, pale against the dim light... She pushed the door open. Empty.”


    In this special collection, a series of interconnected tales unfold within the sterile, familiar world of the medical field, where routine meets the unexplained, and the night shift reveals what daylight keeps hidden. Doors open when they shouldn’t, rooms aren’t as empty as they appear, and something always seems to be watching. NHS Gothic is a collection of paranormal horror stories exploring unease, isolation, and the quiet terror of places built to preserve life…

    If you enjoy this episode, continue your listening with:
    Blackdamp (a tense and claustrophobic tale where unseen forces prove deadly)
    It Shows Up When It’s Needed (a haunting story where presence emerges at moments of vulnerability)
    The Thing in the Wall (a nightmare that crosses into reality, where something shouldn’t exist)

    About the Author
    John Wharton writes atmospheric horror grounded in familiar, real-world environments — bringing the supernatural into places we trust. NHS Gothic blends everyday routine with creeping unease, where the ordinary becomes something far more disturbing.
