This year for Halloween I wanted to do something truly special: our first two-part series. The story of the Amityville Horror is one of the most well-known and controversial murders and paranormal investigations of all time. There have been countless retellings and spin-offs based on the case, but have you ever heard the story from someone who was actually there? Today reporter, Laura Didio, shares with us her firsthand account of working on the Amityville case. Prepare yourself as we dive deep into some of the lesser known aspects of the Defeo murders, the Lutzs' haunting experiences, and the investigation of the home with Ed and Lorraine Warren. Join us this Halloween as we Analyze Amityville.

It is no secret that England has its share of gruesome and grizzly history. Although Cornwall is a stunning stretch of the British coastline, situated high on top of Bodmin Moor is the infamous Bodmin Jail, a foreboding and sinister building with a truly macabre past. Today historian and general manager Jess, takes us inside bloody Bodmin Jail to to meet some of the inmates who were never released, even after they died.

Seemingly anyone interested in the paranormal has their own thoughts and opinions regarding the infamous Ouija board. Some people think it is merely a game, others believe it's a dangerous portal to the unknown. However, regardless of your personal feelings towards the talking board, there is no doubt that it is not a practice shrouded in mystery and controversy. Today Amanda D. Paulson, paranormal investigator and content creator, shares with us a deeply personal story about the consequences from a Ouija board session that followed her around for over a decade.

Welcome to the Season Five Premiere of The West London Witch! Today we are journeying to the austere coast of Northern Ireland, to the high turret of Ballygally Castle, for a startling confrontation between fact and fable. Although this ancient castle is certainly haunted, the legend and lore surrounding are a lot less certain. Join us as Ashlie takes us down a historical rabbit hole full of myth, mystery, murder, and mistaken identities.

Welcome to the Season Four Finale! In the great tradition of "Are You Afraid Of The Dark" we will be sharing a collection of urban legends and hometown horror stories. Prepare to be scared!

The phenomenon of poltergeist activity is a puzzling one. The term poltergeist literally translates to "knocking spirit". In German folklore poltergeists are mischievous, naughty, and destructive entities. But what brings forth this type of activity? Are they ghosts? Echoes from the past? Or perhaps, a metaphysical response to a very natural part of growing up? Regardless of what causes this activity, being in the midst of it is nothing short of terrifying. Today our storyteller Rory takes us back to his seriously spirited childhood home. A place where the activity was equal parts horrifying and confounding.

Today we are headed on a paranormal journey to some of the most haunted locations in all of America. Kathleen, of Witch City Paranormal, shares with us the stories that have fundamentally changed and challenged her as a paranormal investigator. Buckle up for a wild ride through insane asylums, haunted funeral homes, spirited prisons, and portals to the other side.

Welcome to the second instalment of my favourite short yet scary stories. I have conducted over 100 interviews for The West London Witch, but not all of those stories fit our structure. So what happened to them? Well the main reason a story does not make it onto the show is because it is simply too short. However, today I decided it was time to dust off some more of my favourite mini stories. I hope you enjoy this collection of boo moments that were just too spooky to sit hidden away on my hard drive.
