True Hauntings
Case 208: Was Britain's Most Haunted Asylum Built on a Lie? | Lancaster Moor Insane Asylum
For more than 180 years, Lancaster Moor Hospital cared for thousands of patients. Today, it's known by a very different reputation: one of Britain's most haunted asylums.
Ghost hunters claim to have captured eerie voices, unexplained footsteps, shadow figures and chilling laughter echoing through its abandoned corridors. Stories of the mysterious Grey Lady, plague pits and restless spirits have turned Lancaster Moor into a magnet for paranormal investigators from around the world.
But where did these ghost stories actually begin?
In this episode of True Hauntings, Anne and Renata investigate one of Britain's most famous haunted hospitals, separating documented history from modern legend. Together they trace the evolution of the haunting, uncover the earliest paranormal claims they could find, examine the evidence presented by ghost hunters, and ask whether Lancaster Moor's terrifying reputation was built over centuries... or only after the hospital fell silent.
Is Lancaster Moor genuinely haunted?
Or has the ghost story become more famous than the hospital itself?
Join us as we uncover the remarkable history, unsettling investigations and surprising origins of one of Britain's best-known haunted legends.

Case 211: Palacio de Linares: Incest, Murder and the Ghost of Raimundita
54:49|In the heart of Madrid stands the magnificent Palacio de Linares, a nineteenth-century palace with a reputation for scandal, tragedy and one of Spainās most famous ghost stories.According to legend, the palace was home to JosĆ© de Murga and Raimunda de Osorio, an aristocratic couple whose marriage was said to hide a shocking secret: they were allegedly half-brother and half-sister. The story claims that after appealing to the Pope, they were allowed to remain married only if they lived chastely. But when a child was supposedly born, the scandal deepened, and that child became known as Raimundita.Was she murdered to protect the family name?Was her body hidden somewhere inside the palace?And could her ghost still be wandering the rooms, calling for her mother?In this episode of True Hauntings, Anne and Renata investigate the chilling paranormal claims linked to the Palacio de Linares, including ghostly apparitions, unexplained music, moving doors, dramatic temperature drops, strange photographs and the infamous psychophonies, or EVP recordings, that appeared to capture voices saying āMamĆ”ā, āmurderersā and even the name Raimunda.We also look at the paranormal investigations carried out inside the palace, the media frenzy that followed, the hundreds of people who reportedly descended on the building looking for ghosts, and the growing doubts surrounding some of the most famous evidence.But this case becomes even stranger when the historical records are examined.Did Raimundita ever exist?Was the incest story true?Did a Pope really intervene in JosĆ© and Raimundaās marriage?And how did a haunted palace, a real goddaughter named Raimunda, paranormal investigators and sensational media coverage combine to create one of Madridās most enduring supernatural legends?The Palacio de Linares is more than a ghost story. It is a fascinating case study in how folklore, paranormal investigation, family history and media attention can collide until nobody is quite sure where the truth ends and the haunting begins.Join Anne and Renata as they unravel the ghosts, the scandal and the legend of Raimundita in one of Spainās strangest paranormal cases.True Hauntings Podcast explores real haunted locations, famous ghost stories, paranormal investigations, historical mysteries, psychical research and the evidence behind some of the worldās most enduring supernatural claims.Find us here:True Hauntings: https://truehauntings.com.au Website: https://www.ghostgrannies.com/ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenata Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/anneandrenata Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anneandrenata/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FrightfullyGoodAnneAndRenata Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-hauntings/id1537052147 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1FIfOIC08D6v9Y5FP6ud1c?si=e4f2246b72c34435#TrueHauntings #PalacioDeLinares #Raimundita #HauntedMadrid #MadridGhosts #SpanishGhostStories #HauntedSpain #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #ParanormalInvestigation #EVP #Psychophony #HauntedPalace #SupernaturalMystery #DarkHistory
Case 210: Kytelerās Inn: The Haunting Legacy of Irelandās Accused Witch
01:06:00|Kytelerās Inn in Kilkenny is one of Irelandās most famous medieval pubs, but its reputation reaches far beyond food, music and old stone walls.At the centre of its story is Alice Kyteler, a wealthy fourteenth-century woman accused of witchcraft, poisoning and dealings with the Devil. While Alice escaped, others connected to her case paid a terrible price, and her name has remained tied to the inn ever since.But is Kytelerās Inn truly haunted, or has centuries of folklore transformed a complicated historical case into one of Irelandās most enduring supernatural legends?In this episode of True Hauntings, Anne and Renata explore the story of Alice Kyteler, the paranormal claims linked to the inn, reports of a mysterious woman in black, unexplained cold spots, shadowy photographs and the suggestion that Alice herself may still be present.We also examine where these haunting stories began, how they changed over time, and whether the evidence points to genuine paranormal activity, mistaken identity, atmospheric storytelling or a legend that has grown stronger with every retelling.Was Alice Kyteler really a witch, a victim of fear and politics, or something more complicated? And does her restless legacy still linger inside Kytelerās Inn?Listen as we weigh the history, the witness accounts and the inconsistencies to ask the question at the heart of every case:Is this truly a haunting?Website: https://www.ghostgrannies.com/ Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenata Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/anneandrenata YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FrightfullyGoodAnneAndRenata Skool community: https://www.skool.com/frightfully-good-paranormal-6267 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1FIfOIC08D6v9Y5FP6ud1c?si=e4f2246b72c34435 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-hauntings/id153705214#KytelersInn #AliceKyteler #IrelandHaunted #HauntedIreland #IrishGhostStories #WitchcraftHistory #MedievalIreland #KilkennyIreland #ParanormalPodcast #TrueHauntings #GhostStories #HauntedPub #IrishFolklore #HistoricalMystery #ParanormalInvestigation
209. Case 209: Doorwerth Castle: The Girl, the Carriage and the Headless Horses
01:07:35||Season 1, Ep. 209Doorwerth Castle in the Netherlands is said to be haunted by a starving girl, a mysterious woman in white and a ghostly carriage pulled by headless horses. But where did these stories begin, and how much of the haunting can actually be traced?In this episode of True Hauntings, Renata takes us through the long and turbulent history of Doorwerth Castle, from its medieval origins and powerful residents to war damage, restoration and the many lives lived within its walls.Then Anne examines the paranormal claims that grew around the castle, including the tragic story of a young woman reportedly imprisoned and left to starve, unexplained footsteps, sudden cold, the folklore of the Witte Wieven and the terrifying carriage said to return with its headless horses.We also look at the investigations that helped spread Doorwerth Castleās haunted reputation, including its appearance on Most Haunted, and trace how separate legends may have merged, changed and grown over time.As always, we ask the question at the heart of True Hauntings: is Doorwerth Castle truly haunted, or have history, folklore, television and repeated storytelling created something far larger than the evidence?Listen now to Case 209: Doorwerth Castle: The Girl, the Carriage and the Headless Horses.#TrueHauntings #DoorwerthCastle #HauntedCastle #DutchGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #HauntedNetherlands #MostHaunted #WitteWieven #HeadlessHorses #CastleGhosts #ParanormalInvestigation #HauntingLegends #SupernaturalStories #GhostPodcast #AnneandRenata #frightfullygoodparanormalš§ Listen & Follow True HauntingsFollow Anne and Renata:Website: https://www.ghostgrannies.com/Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenataFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TrueHauntingsPodcast/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/anneandrenataInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/anneandrenata/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FrightfullyGoodAnneAndRenataListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-hauntings/id1537052147Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1FIfOIC08D6v9Y5FP6ud1c?si=e4f2246b72c34435
207. Case 207: Theatre Royal Drury Lane: The Ghosts Who Never Miss Their Cue
59:54||Season 1, Ep. 207Step inside Theatre Royal Drury Lane, one of Londonās most famous and historic theatres, where the applause may fade, but the stories refuse to leave the stage.In this episode of True Hauntings, Anne and Renata investigate the ghostly legends of Theatre Royal Drury Lane, a theatre with more than 350 years of drama, fire, fame, tragedy and superstition woven into its walls. From the mysterious Man in Grey, said to walk the upper circle before vanishing near the royal box, to the ghostly presence of performers like Dan Leno, Joseph Grimaldi and Charles Macklin, this is a haunting where the spirits seem less like intruders and more like permanent members of the company.But where did these stories begin?Was a skeleton really found behind a wall? Did a murdered man become the famous Man in Grey? Are the dressing room mirror sightings of Dan Leno genuine ghostly encounters, or the product of exhausted performers, theatrical folklore and a building designed to blur reality?Anne and Renata pull back the curtain on one of Britainās most enduring haunted theatre stories, looking at the legends, the reported encounters, the dubious beginnings, and the very human need to turn fear into tradition.Because at Drury Lane, the ghosts are not just seen.They are expected.#TrueHauntingsPodcast #TheatreRoyalDruryLane #HauntedLondon #GhostStories #TheManInGrey #tSpookyisles #thatreghostsruhauntings #haunteduk #hauntedengland #theatreghosts #hauntedtheatres #paranormal #anneandrenata #frightfullygoodghoststories #famoustheatreghosts #theatrelegends
206. Case 206: The Girl in the Closet: The Haunted Fairbanks House of Louisiana
01:00:44||Season 1, Ep. 206What really happened inside the Haunted Fairbanks House of Sicily Island, Louisiana?In this episode of True Hauntings, we investigate the disturbing story of the Fairbanks House, a historic Louisiana home now known for paranormal activity, ghost investigations, strange noises, shadow figures, alleged EVPs, and the chilling legend of āHenriettaās Closet.āThe story centres on Henrietta Fairbanks, a young woman said to have suffered from epilepsy and seizures before her early death in 1922. Over time, her real life appears to have been reshaped into something darker: a tale of confinement, a haunted closet, and a ghost story that has become part of the houseās modern paranormal reputation.But is the Fairbanks House truly haunted?Or has Henriettaās story been transformed by rumour, psychic claims, paranormal investigators, ghost-hunting television, YouTube investigations, and the business of haunted tourism?Anne and Renata examine the history, the reported paranormal phenomena, the claims connected to The Dead Files episode āBent on Revenge: Sicily Island, LA,ā and the modern ghost stories surrounding the Haunted Fairbanks House. We look at the witness accounts, the investigation reports, the contradictions, and the way a tragic family story may have evolved into one of Louisianaās most talked-about haunted house legends.This is not just a ghost story. It is a case about illness, grief, folklore, paranormal storytelling, and what can happen when the life of a real woman becomes the centrepiece of a haunting.Was Henrietta Fairbanks truly haunting the house?Or are we looking at a constructed paranormal narrative built from history, rumour, suggestion, and spectacle?Listen as we unpack the legend of The Girl in the Closet: The Haunted Fairbanks House of Louisiana.š§ Listen to True Hauntings on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1FIfOIC08D6v9Y5FP6ud1c?si=320c9db7df5f4cbfš§ Listen on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-hauntings/id1537052147ā Support us on Buy Me a Coffee:https://buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenataš¤ Join our Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/anneandrenataš» Join our paranormal community on Skool:https://www.skool.com/frightfully-good-paranormal-6267šŗ Subscribe to Frightfully Good Anne & Renata:https://www.youtube.com/@FrightfullyGoodAnneAndRenata#TrueHauntings #FairbanksHouse #HauntedFairbanksHouse #SicilyIsland #LouisianaHaunting #HenriettaFairbanks #HauntedHouse #ParanormalInvestigation #TheDeadFiles #GhostStories #RealHaunting #EVP #ShadowFigures #ParanormalPodcast #FrightfullyGood #hauntedusa #hauntedlouisiana #hauntedandhistoric
Case 205: The Cideville Poltergeist: The Curse That Went to Court
01:00:47|In this episode of True Hauntings Podcast, we investigate the strange and unsettling case of The Cideville Poltergeist, one of Franceās most unusual 19th-century paranormal mysteries.In 1850, at a quiet presbytery in Cideville, Normandy, two boys studying under CurĆ© Jean Tinel became the centre of a terrifying series of unexplained events: mysterious knocks in the walls, flying objects, moving furniture, musical raps, strange voices, and claims of a dark figure haunting the house.But this was no ordinary ghost story.The haunting soon turned into a legal battle when local shepherd FĆ©lix Thorel was accused of being connected to the disturbances through sorcery. Thorel denied the claims and sued the priest for defamation, turning the Cideville Poltergeist into a rare paranormal case that ended up in court.Was this a genuine poltergeist haunting? Were the boys responsible for the activity? Was Thorel a sorcerer, a scapegoat, or simply the man the village chose to blame? And how did fear, religion, gossip, and reputation turn strange knocks in a priestās house into one of Franceās most fascinating haunted history cases?Join us as we explore the priest, the shepherd, the two boys, and the curse that went to court.#CidevillePoltergeist #TrueHauntingsPodcast #Poltergeist #HauntedFrance #ParanormalHistory #GhostStories #FrenchHauntings #HauntedNormandy #ParanormalInvestigation #RealHauntings #HauntedHistory #GhostPodcast #SupernaturalMystery #FrightfullyGood #AnneAndRenata #TrueHauntings #AustraliaGhosts #HauntedBuildings #ParanormalActivity #CanberraHaunting
204. Case 204: The Building That Remembers Too Much | Canberra Australia
51:14||Season 1, Ep. 204What if Australiaās official guardian of film and sound was also one of its most haunted buildings? In this episode of True Hauntings, Anne and Renata dive deep into the chilling paranormal activity reported inside the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra.Staff witness tapes flying from impossible machines, doors opening by themselves, and lights flickering with no one nearby. Schoolchildren repeatedly see a little girl waving from a high grate that once overlooked the morgue ā a friendly wave from a place no living child could reach. In the infamous Blood Room, visitors feel faint, smell decay, and watch torches die instantly. An electrical contractor was reportedly pinned to a wall by an unseen force, while ghost hunters recorded batteries draining simultaneously and a shadow figure moving through the dark.Who benefits from these stories staying alive ā and why do credible witnesses, including long-term sceptics, keep reporting the same unsettling encounters? From the founderās apparition stepping out of a wall to the deeper cultural weight still felt in the building, this is a haunting where the past refuses to stay archived.If you love real ghost stories, poltergeist activity, and haunted Australian landmarks, you wonāt want to miss this one.Listen now and decide: is the NFSA truly one of Australiaās most haunted places?ā Support us: https://buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenatašļø Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/anneandrenatašŗ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FrightfullyGoodAnneAndRenataš¬ Join our community: https://www.skool.com/frightfully-good-paranormal-6267š§ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1FIfOIC08D6v9Y5FP6ud1cš Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-hauntings/id1537052147#TrueHauntings #hauntedmonastery #HauntedPlaces #GhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #RealHauntings #haunteditaly #CemeteryStories #HauntedHistory #UrbanLegends #hauntings #hauntedstories #aussiepodcasters #anneandrenata #frightfullygoodstories #anneandrenata #hauntedworld #hauntedcemeteries #hauntedaustralia #hanutedcanberra #nationalfilmandsoundarchive #HauntedAustralia #CanberraGhosts #NFSAHaunting #TrueHauntings #GhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #BloodRoom #WavingGirlGhost
203. Case 203: Lucedio Abbey - Nuns Bricked up in the Walls
46:17||Season 1, Ep. 203You donāt usually expect a place built for prayer to carry a reputation that makes even locals lower their voices when they talk about it⦠but thatās exactly whatās happened at the Abbey of Santa Maria di Lucedio. Out in the quiet rice fields of northern Italy, this monastery has managed to collect centuriesā worth of rumours that feel just a little too persistent to brush off as imagination.Ā What makes this one interesting is not just the stories people like to repeat, itās the uncomfortable gaps in the history. Youāve got a powerful religious order, land that was considered sacred long before the abbey was even built, and a period of time where discipline, control and silence were part of daily life. When you start looking at it properly, you realise this isnāt just a āhaunted monasteryā story. Itās about what happens when power goes unchecked behind thick stone walls and nobody on the outside is really asking questions.In this episode of the True Hauntings Podcast, weāre not just walking into a building with a spooky reputation. Weāre stepping into a place where faith, fear and human behaviour collided in ways that still donāt sit right, even hundreds of years later. And if youāre wondering whether all of that could leave something behind⦠well, thatās exactly where weāre heading.ā Support us: https://buymeacoffee.com/anneandrenatašļø Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/anneandrenatašŗ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FrightfullyGoodAnneAndRenataš¬ Join our community: https://www.skool.com/frightfully-good-paranormal-6267š§ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1FIfOIC08D6v9Y5FP6ud1cš Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/true-hauntings/id1537052147#TrueHauntings #hauntedmonastery #HauntedPlaces #GhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #RealHauntings #haunteditaly #CemeteryStories #HauntedHistory #UrbanLegends #hauntings #hauntedstories #aussiepodcasters #anneandrenata #frightfullygoodstories #anneandrenata #hauntedworld #hauntedcemeteries #AbbeyofSantaMariadiLucedio #hauntedabbeysofeurope #godsanddemons
