S06-E10 - The Thing and Other Listeners’ Stories - Part 3

Some encounters are difficult to name.They don’t arrive as familiar ghosts, comforting presences, or figures from the past. Sometimes, what appears is stranger than that — something half-sensed, half-seen, and impossible to place.In this listener-stories episode of Haunted UK Podcast, we move through a wide range of true paranormal accounts, beginning with a haunted house in Salford where objects vanished, medals reappeared in impossible places, and the staircase carried a heavy, unsettling atmosphere. From there, the stories lead into old bedsits, strange figures at windows, possible sleep paralysis, family predictions, guardian lights, haunted flats in Edinburgh, and unsettling presences in East Lothian.The episode also travels further afield, with accounts from New Zealand and Japan involving grey apparitions, haunted tunnels, uneasy buildings, and a strange figure seen during a meeting in Tokyo. Alongside these are stories of divine intervention, shadow figures, childhood hauntings, spirit contact, family sensitivities, and the lingering question of whether some people are more open to the unseen than others.The final account, The Thing, takes us to Melbourne in the early 1990s, where a listener woke in the night with the certain knowledge that something was standing in the doorway — something part human, part animal, and deeply hostile. What followed was an overwhelming physical encounter, unexplained marks, and a chilling question from a flatmate the next morning.Atmospheric, varied and quietly disturbing, this is a collection of stories about the moments when the ordinary world seems to thin — and something else steps through.Enjoyed the episode?
