  • Ep 159 Blood, Bones, and Bagpipes: The Ghosts of Edinburgh Castle
    Jul 10 2025

    This week, we’re traveling to the heart of Scotland to explore one of the most iconic—and haunted—strongholds in the world: Edinburgh Castle. Perched high on Castle Rock, this ancient fortress has withstood centuries of war, siege, and bloodshed… and some say, the spirits of its past have never left.

    From the chilling beat of a headless drummer to the mournful sounds of the phantom piper lost beneath the castle, we’ll uncover the ghost stories that linger in its shadowy corridors. Discover the dungeon that once held prisoners of war, hear tales of a spectral dog, and find out why visitors report sudden drops in temperature, ghostly apparitions, and overwhelming feelings of dread.

    Is it just the weight of history… or is something still lurking behind the castle’s cold stone walls?

    If you’re enjoying Lurk, don’t forget to follow, rate, and leave a review—it helps more curious minds like yours discover the show. And if you’ve had your own eerie encounter, share it with us—we just might feature it in a future episode.

    Also the bagpipe music comes from a recording of my former Bagpipe band!

  • Ep 158 Unsolved: The Hinterkaifeck Slaughter
    Jun 22 2025

    In this chilling episode of Lurk, we delve into one of the most mysterious and brutal unsolved crimes in German history—the Hinterkaifeck murders. In 1922, on a quiet Bavarian farmstead, six members of the Gruber-Gabriel family were found gruesomely murdered. The scene was eerie: strange footprints in the snow, an attic possibly occupied before the killings, and a killer who may have stayed in the house after the murders were done.

    Who was responsible for this horrific crime? Was it someone close to the family, or a wandering stranger with dark intentions? And what clues still haunt investigators and armchair detectives to this day?

    Join us as we explore the unsettling evidence, examine chilling theories, and uncover the lingering questions surrounding this nearly century-old case. This is one true crime mystery that continues to baffle—and terrify.

  • Ep 152 Whispers of Waipahu: Ghostly Tales from the Haunted Plantation Village
    May 7 2025

    In this spine-tingling episode of Lurk, we travel to Oʻahu, Hawaii, to explore two of the island’s most infamous haunted sites: Waipahu Plantation Village, a living history museum with a ghostly past, and the elusive and terrifying legend of the Haunted Kasha House in ʻEwa Beach.

    👻 Waipahu Plantation Village
    Once a bustling sugar plantation, this open-air museum tells the story of Hawaii’s immigrant laborers — but it also has a darker side. Former workers and paranormal investigators report unexplained voices, phantom footsteps, and shadow figures lurking around the historic buildings.

    🕯️ Kasha House (aka "The House of the Damned")
    A local urban legend that refuses to die. Though the actual location is disputed — some say it never existed — witnesses describe frightening encounters and a heavy presence that follows them long after they leave.

    🎧 Listen if you dare, and remember: on these islands, respect for the past isn't just tradition — it might just keep you safe.
