    Episode 7 - Ghosts of The London Underground, Watchful Hounds and Push-Drop-Stick
    Jun 7 2025

    Welcome to Episode 7 of Spirit Hounds.

    In this episode, hosts Nicky and Davina discuss ghosts of the London Underground tube network and the tragic historic stories behind them, including:

    • 'The Electrocuted Man' (Bruno Hauptmann – killer of Charles Lindbergh’s baby) on Bakerloo Line
    • Cries & Screams at Bethnal Green Station (possibly linked to incident on 3/3/1943 where 173 people were crushed to death during an air raid)
    • 'The Screaming Spectre' (Ann Nailor - an apprentice cruelly abused and murdered by mistress Sarah Metyard and her daughter 'Sally') at Farringdon Station
    • 'The Grinning Man' at Channel C Depot, Stratford - could he be the spirit of Jack The Ripper, back to terrorise women in the area?

    We read out a creepy Listener Submission from Dave in Shropshire, UK called ‘My Night With The Shadow Dog’ where Dave was house-sitting for his friends but found it hard to get any sleep as the family dog kept him awake each night… even though he had passed away several months before…

    In the dog training segment, Davina shares a technique on how to assess your dog’s understanding of a new training command, called Push-Drop-Stick.

    Warning: each episode may contain some strong language and sexual references, as well as discussion around sensitive themes such as; death, suicide, murder, abuse, animal cruelty and medical procedures.

    Episode 5 - Haunted Hotels, Deadly Dybbuks and Canine Clickers
    Mar 5 2025

    Welcome to Episode 5 of Spirit Hounds.

    In this episode, hosts Nicky Gardiner and Davina Evans discuss Stone Tape Theory (a possible explanation for the phenomenon of residual haunts, or seeing visions of ghosts replaying an event but who do not interact with the witnesses), several Haunted Hotels and the experiences that visitors have reported, as well as Dybbuk Boxes and the mythology and history around them…

    A listener submitted a question about how to stop her puppy from biting and chewing everything in sight, so Davina offers some helpful tips to stop this destructive behaviour, and then Davina discusses how to effectively use a clicker (or the word “Yes!”) when teaching new commands to your dog.

    Warning: each episode may contain some strong language and sexual references, as well as discussion around sensitive themes such as; death, suicide, murder, abuse, animal cruelty and medical procedures.
