Greetings, my spectral spectators! šŸŒ™

This week, the spirits have guided me to Stockton, where the energies are as vibrant as ever. Before taking the stage, I had a light-hearted chat with Alex, our tour manager, about indulging a bit too much at the buffetā€”who can blame us? It's all fun until it's time to squeeze into those stage outfits!

Back in the studio, Linda shares a hilarious wardrobe malfunction involving her tights. Not to be outdone, I recount my own mishap with gaffer-taping my pants. Fashion tips from the other side? Perhaps not! šŸ˜…


We delve into a fascinating story that leads us to chat about the legendary Dave Grohl, followed by a heartwarming tale about a catā€”proving even our feline friends have their own mysterious adventures.


Hold onto your crystals! Mark Wilson, head of sound at Chelmsford Theatre, shares a spine-chilling tale that'll make you think twice about dark theatres. šŸŽ­šŸ‘»

Ever been around someone who, well, stinks? Linda and I share a laugh discussing how to handle such situations without offendingā€”or summoningā€”a spirit!


Next, we tackle a query about astrology. I read out Linda's star sign, and let's just say the cosmos had some intriguing insights! āœØ We even ponder chatting with celebrity spirits during a sĆ©ance. Fancy a conversation with a star from the other side?


Returning to Greystoke Castle, one of the most haunted places around, we hear from Suzie Wastel, whose experiences within those ancient walls are mesmerizing. Addressing concerns about life over 60, we offer some sage advice to our listeners embracing their golden years.

Finally, Mark Adams, a spiritualist at Greystoke, shares intriguing stories about unexpected encounters and mysterious meetings that will leave you pondering the thin veil between our world and the next.


Join us for an episode brimming with laughter, chills, and plenty of paranormal ponderings!


Stay spooky, my loves, and rememberā€”the veil is thinnest when we're together!


Spiritually yours,
