30 East Drive: The Black Monk of Pontefract

from Oddity Shop · host Kara Perakovic and Zach Palmer

Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale.  This Week, Your Curator Zach is taking us to the most haunted home in England.A teenage girl jolts awake after midnight with invisible pressure crushing her throat, her bed shaking like something is trying to throw her off, and dark red finger marks blooming on her neck. That moment is the turning point in the case of 30 East Drive in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, a modest brick house that’s earned a lasting reputation as one of the most haunted homes in England and even Europe.  We open the door on the Black Monk of Pontefract, tracing how a family’s “new home routine” turns into classic poltergeist activity: knocks that seem to answer back, flickering lights, objects moving on their own, unexplained pools of water, strange foam from taps, and footsteps that grow louder until neighbors and police can’t ignore them. If you’re into haunted house stories, paranormal investigation, poltergeists, and the messy line between skepticism and belief, hit play, then subscribe, share this with your favorite oddball!Check out our website for all episode references Get All Your Spiritual Supplies From Mystic Moons On Etsy, or Check out their FacebookSupport the showThe Shop's phone lines are open!
