S03-E06 - A Tale of Two Hauntings

A Sussex manor house where a child sees two figures no one else can explain.An 18th-century cottage in the West Midlands where something pushes, watches, and turns a family against itself.Two homes meant to offer peace. Two hauntings that became impossible to ignore.In this episode of Haunted UK Podcast, Steve explores two unsettling cases of haunted houses and the families who lived inside them.The first story follows the Hodson family, who moved from central London to a Victorian manor house in Sussex hoping for space, calm, and a better life. But soon after arriving, their young daughter Susanna began speaking of two figures: George and Abbey. What first seemed like imaginary friends slowly became something darker, as Susanna grew frightened, footsteps echoed through empty rooms, and her mother Diane began experiencing a cold, oppressive presence in the house.When a psychic medium appeared to identify both spirits by name, and a visiting child later saw a terrifying woman on the stairs, the family finally turned to an exorcist. But even after leaving the house behind, Diane discovered that another child, years earlier, had been terrorised in the same rooms — by a presence also known as George.The second case moves to the West Midlands, where Julie, George, and their daughters moved into an old thatched cottage with hidden links to highwaymen and underground tunnels. Almost immediately, the family experienced cold spots, physical attacks, electrical disturbances, shadowy figures, violent poltergeist activity, and one of the most chilling incidents of all: Julie apparently floating above the bed as her terrified daughter watched from below.Atmospheric, disturbing, and rooted in family testimony, this episode explores haunted houses, child witnesses, exorcism, poltergeist activity, violent spirits, historic buildings, and the terrifying pressure that unexplained phenomena can place on ordinary family life.Enjoyed the episode?
