Summary

A boy dreams of a ship tipping over in a field.


Weeks later, a ferry disaster unfolds almost exactly as he described.


And that is only the beginning.


In this early listener stories episode from Haunted UK Podcast, Steve closes the first season with a collection of strange, personal, and deeply unsettling experiences sent in by listeners. These accounts move through premonition dreams, invisible friends, Ouija board encounters, haunted workplaces, crisis ghosts, childhood apparitions, and the moments that leave people questioning what they saw, heard, or felt.


The episode begins with Andrew’s account of a schoolfriend who dreamed of a red-and-white ferry capsizing before the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster in March 1987. From there, the stories include Mel’s brother speaking for years with “Jack”, a young boy said to live in the attic above a house built over old mine workings, and Jay’s disturbing Ouija board experience that ended with something taking the appearance of his twin sister.


There are also accounts from New York makeup artist Genn Shaughnessy, whose life has been touched by strange warnings, haunted buildings, shadowy figures, old-hag encounters, ghostly footprints, and possible messages from loved ones after death. The episode then returns to Britain with Helen’s apparition of an elderly woman in a Somerset social club, Joe’s terrifying childhood sighting of a face at an upstairs window, and Deb’s moving account of a glowing light that appeared shortly before her friend’s father passed away.


Reflective, varied, and rooted in real listener testimony, this episode captures the early heart of Haunted UK Podcast: ordinary people sharing the extraordinary things they still cannot explain.
