Victoria and Hannah are back, swapping tinsel for terror in a jingle-bell jittering Christmas special of Haunted On Screen. This time, they’re decking the halls with blood and fear as they dissect Bob Clark’s 1974 horror slasher, Black Christmas. No shadowy corner goes unexplored - from the infamous phone calls and sweaty piano scenes to why this ’70s classic still shapes modern slasher cinema. Along the way, Victoria gets lost in the mystery of calling between phones inside the same house, while Hannah frets over the wellbeing, and ultimate fate, of Claude the Cat. Peer behind the curtain of this essential horror film - it’s the perfect festive fright for a cold and wintry night… Trigger Warnings: References to Graphic Violence, Murder, Sexual Assault, Rape, Incest, Harassment, Stalking, Home Invasion, Psychological Terror, Threatening Phone Calls &amp; Sensitive Topics Around Reproductive Health To donate to the show, please visit our <a href="https://ko-fi.com/hauntedupnorth" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ko-fi</a> page!

It’s special guest time again on Haunted Up North, as we welcome psychic medium and tarot reader Leanna Anscomb to the show.

In one of our more emotive episodes, Leanna speaks candidly about grief, how we might reframe the passing of a loved one, and how to protect ourselves from negative energy, especially during vulnerable times. She also warns of the dangers posed by predators who masquerade as spiritualists, and gives us a proper fright with some chilling tales of spectres she’s crossed paths with during her evolution as a medium.

For decades, the mill was plagued by unsettling forces - whispers, footsteps, and chilling apparitions that defied explanation. Do you have the courage to step inside one of Britain's most infamous haunted locations? There's only one way to find out - press play... if you dare.

HUN #59 - How Haunted? With Rob Kirkup

Have you ever heard of someone being haunted by a bone? In the 1930s, Alexander Hay Seton took a trip to Egypt that would change his life forever. When he and his wife Zeyla returned to their elegant house at 15 Learmonth Gardens in Edinburgh with a piece of an ancient skeleton, they unwittingly invited something sinister across the threshold. What followed was a chilling series of supernatural events that neither of them could explain, but both were certain had everything to do with the mysterious bone...
