Greetings, my spectral spectators! 🌙 This week, the spirits have guided me to the lovely Wyvern Theatre in Swindon ignore the fact i mention that i'm in Cardiff! — who doesn't adore Swindon, eh? I'm thrilled to be here, and the energies are positively buzzing!

Back at the studio, Linda shares about her grand clear-out. She's been moving CDs and books to make space, only to realize she didn't need them after all. 📀 Perhaps the spirits guided her to declutter—making room for new mystical tomes, maybe?


Speaking of books, I've finally found a great audiobook: Stephen King's short stories, You Like It Darker. Absolutely superb! I hadn't realized how much I missed getting lost in a good book. Thanks to everyone who reached out with recommendations, especially Chris Altree on Insta, who suggested John Cooper Clarke's autobiography I Wanna Be Yours. I'll be diving into that—always eager to explore lyrical realms!


We delve into a fascinating story about a youngster who believes they were Princess Diana in a past life, recounting detailed tales of Balmoral Castle! Imagine that—a royal reincarnation! 👑 We discuss the mysteries of past lives and the ethereal connections that bind us.

From Fate and Fortune, we share a heartwarming tale of a grandad accepting his granddaughter's sexuality from the other side. A beautiful reminder that love transcends all realms. ❤️


Linda and I tackle various dilemmas from our favourite magazines, offering our best spiritual advice. Whether it's haunted dolls giving you the creeps, challenges working with kids, or concerns about weight—we've got you covered with a sprinkle of spectral wisdom!

We have a spine-tingling chat with Patrick Baskeyfield, who shares a spooky story that'll make your hair stand on end. 🕯️

Then, I play a recording from my investigation at Greystoke Castle—one of the most haunted places in Cumbria! The spirits there are particularly chatty, and I had encounters you simply have to hear to believe. 👻


We wrap up with a tale of an actress and a Ouija board—proof that the spirit world loves a bit of theatrical flair!

So, join us for an episode filled with laughs, chills, and plenty of paranormal ponderings.

Stay spooky, my loves, and remember—the veil is thinnest when we're together!

Spiritually yours,

Clint x
