In 1985, nineteen-year-old SUNY Geneseo student Chris Di Cesare began hearing his name called inside room C2D1 of Erie Hall. What followed, according to Chris and those around him, developed into apparitions, unexplained movements, attempts at communication with a presence they called Tommy, alleged physical attacks and a blessing performed by a Catholic priest. Unlike many campus ghost stories, the case was documented while it was still unfolding through journals, photographs and witness accounts, although the identity of “Tommy” remains unresolved.

In August 1981, a family home in Bournemouth, England became the centre of a short but intense poltergeist case involving moving furniture, flying household objects and repeated disturbances witnessed not only by the family, but by neighbours, police officers and a retired clergyman. The case later drew in mediums, newspaper reporters and psychical researcher Cyril Permutt, yet the activity stopped almost as suddenly as it had begun.

For generations, people in rural Thailand have told stories of the Krasue, a woman whose head leaves her body after dark with her internal organs hanging beneath it as she travels in search of blood, carrion and filth. Strange red, green and orange lights seen moving above fields have repeatedly been linked to the creature, and remarkably, alleged sightings continue today, with reports from Ratchaburi and Lopburi in 2023, Surin and Buriram in 2024, and Phetchabun as recently as February 2026.

In this special episode, I'm joined by writer and screenwriter Thom Burgess for a chat about ghost stories, folklore and a lifelong fascination with the supernatural.

Thom talks about growing up surrounded by the ghostlore of Kent, from the phantom bride of Bluebell Hill to the stories that first frightened and fascinated him as a child, and how that interest eventually found its way into his own writing and the Paramount horror film Passenger.

Along the way, we get into M. R. James, haunted pubs, phantom hitchhikers, the strange ways folklore has moved...

From Kuebiko, the ancient Japanese scarecrow god said to know everything in the world, to harvest rituals, rice-field spirits and the one-eyed Dorotabō rising from the mud, scarecrows have long occupied a strange place between the practical and the supernatural. We also visit Nagoro, where hundreds of life-sized scarecrows now outnumber the living, before turning to reported encounters involving scarecrows that appear to move, watch, multiply overnight and, in one modern case, vanish from a field altogether.

In 1892, a farm worker near Salem, Oregon, returned to a cultivated field after supper and claimed to encounter a pale woman standing beside his plough. When he tried to strike her, the blows passed straight through her, and she chased him across the field towards the farmhouse. Locals connected the apparition to an older story of a pioneer woman whose grave had once been avoided by ploughmen before its location was forgotten and crops began growing over the place where she lay.

In 1710, strange disturbances began inside Knowehead House on the Islandmagee peninsula in County Antrim. Stones appeared from nowhere, bedclothes were arranged into the shape of corpses, and a ragged childlike figure was seen moving through the house before apparently predicting the death of its elderly resident, Ann Haltridge. After Ann died, eighteen-year-old Mary Dunbar arrived and soon began suffering violent fits, claiming invisible women were attacking her and producing pins, feathers and other objects from her mouth. Her accusations eventually sent eight women to prison for witchcraft and drew a ninth person into a case that became Ireland’s la...

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.

For much of the nineteenth century, people travelled across Ireland to seek the help of Biddy Early, a famous County Clare healer and clairvoyant. She was purported to 'know' why visitors had come to see her before she was ever told. Stories claimed that Biddy could see future events through a mysterious bottle, cure illnesses blamed on the fairies and even take the form of a hare. Though she was eventually accused of witchcraft, the case against her collapsed, and then after her death in 1874 the stories about her only continued, including the belief that her strange bottle had...

High in the hills of Shimla, India, an old roadside water source known as Chudail Baudi has been feared since the British Raj. Drivers say their vehicles slow down as they approach, before a woman with long hair and backwards feet appears beside the road asking for a lift. Refuse her, and according to the legend, she may just appear inside the car anyway. We explore the stories surrounding the Witch’s Well and the much older folklore of the chudail.

On 15 September 1875, seventy-nine-year-old Ann Tennant left her home in the Warwickshire village of Long Compton to buy a loaf of bread. Minutes later she was attacked by agricultural labourer James Haywood, a neighbour who had become convinced that Ann and a number of other villagers were witches. His extraordinary claims would follow him from the harvest fields of Long Compton to the courtroom at Warwick and eventually to Broadmoor.

Above the Warwickshire village of Long Compton stands one of England's strangest prehistoric landscapes. According to legend, the Rollright Stones are a king and his army turned to stone by a witch, while generations of local people told stories of bleeding elder trees, fairies dancing around the stones, impossible stone counts, shape-shifting witches and ancient monuments that moved after dark. Even into the twentieth century, Long Compton retained its extraordinary reputation as a village where the influence of witches was said to come and go like the full moon.
