    The Haunted Mill Girl: The True Story of the Keighley Poltergeist

    Historian Stephen Miller (The Poltergeist Project) presents the full story of the Keighley Poltergeist — a remarkably well-documented 1920s case centred on young mill worker Gwen Morley. From flying crockery and malfunctioning machinery at Prospect Mill to scientific investigations, involvement from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Gwen’s subsequent treatment at the British College of Psychic Science in London, this is one of the most thoroughly witnessed and recorded poltergeist cases in British history. Stephen also shares new findings from his research, including previously unknown details about Gwen’s life and touching conversations with her surviving family. A compelling blend of social history, psychical research, and anomalous phenomena.

    Can a Ghost Be in Two Places at Once? Supernatural Scheduling

    Can a ghost be in two places at once? Why do certain historical figures seem to manage an impossible portfolio of multiple hauntings across the country? This week, ASSAP explores the phenomenon of mobile spirits, supernatural schedules, and bilocation. We trace the legends of Britain's "busiest" ghosts—including Anne Boleyn's headless carriage rides, Dick Turpin’s endless pub-haunting trail, and Admiral Nelson's secret spectral meetings. Plus, we cross the Atlantic to look at Abraham Lincoln’s White House apparitions and the mystery of his phantom funeral train. Finally, we dive into the world of bilocation and transvection with the unbelievable 17th-century case of Sister Maria, a cloistered nun who somehow managed to preach to tribes in the Americas without ever leaving her convent in Spain. Are these genuine hauntings, or does folklore simply adapt to fulfill human needs? Hit play to find out! Joined by Guest Folklorist and writer Paula Dempsey.

    "I Caught Paranormal Hoaxers Red-Handed"

Why People Fake Ghosts & How We Exposed Them In this revealing ASSAP Paranormal Webinar, seasoned investigator Caroline McKendrick Gibson shares three real cases from her files where people deliberately faked paranormal activity — sometimes with shocking motives. From coercive control using fake scratches, causing burns, to an elaborate pulley-system hoax caught on video, and a dramatic family case ruined by one explosive lie — these stories expose the darker side of ghost hunting. With psychological insights from psychotherapist Martin Gibson, this episode explores why people hoax, how investigators spot deception, and what it means for genuine paranormal claims.

    Quantum Immortality: Do We Switch Realities When We Die?

    Dr Ann Winsper joins host Kristian Lander and co-host Caroline McKendrick-Gibson to explore quantum immortality and whether we actually die or simply jump to a parallel universe every time we cheat death. They break down the Many Worlds theory, Schrödinger’s Cat, and share real-life “glitch in the matrix” stories of people who should have died in horrific car crashes… only to open their eyes and find themselves still driving with no damage. Is this proof of timeline jumping, or just the brain playing tricks? Proper mind-bending stuff from the Seriously Strange Live series.
