S07-E09 - Witchcraft, Wonder & The Unexplained

A clearing in the woods that shouldn’t have been there.A porcelain doll that seemed to move on its own.A haunted school bathroom, a disappearing house, shadow figures, time slips, doppelgängers, and encounters with the dead.In this deeply personal episode of Haunted UK Podcast, Steve shares the extraordinary experiences of Katie, an eclectic witch now living in Dublin, whose life has been shaped by magic, sensitivity, spirit contact, and the unexplained. Raised in the Bible Belt of Alabama, Katie grew up surrounded by strict religious ideas while quietly sensing, seeing, and knowing things she couldn’t easily explain.Her story moves through childhood encounters in haunted woods, strange loops in the landscape, a clearing filled with shadow figures, and the unsettling possibility that something in the forest tried to keep her and her friend from leaving. From there, Katie recounts a disturbing family doll, a ghostly girl in a school bathroom, an abandoned cottage that later vanished, a face at a second-floor window, spirit activity in restaurants and hotels, and vivid experiences in some of the most haunted places in Savannah, Edinburgh, and Dublin.The episode also explores Katie’s modern witchcraft practice, her connection to ancestor veneration, nature spirits, sacred Irish sites, familiars, tulpas, time slips at the Hill of Tara, and the strange phenomenon of doppelgängers appearing in her life.Atmospheric, intimate, and full of strange detail, this episode blends witchcraft, folklore, personal testimony, haunted places, spirit encounters, and the uneasy sense that some people may live closer to the unseen world than others.Enjoyed the episode?
