    Britain's 5 Most Haunted Places: Halloween Special

    It's Halloween, and The Grave Shift is counting down Britain's five most haunted places, from five to one. We tell the real history behind each one and are clear about where the history stops and the legend begins. We start with the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall and the famous 1936 Country Life photograph. Then come the attic legend of 50 Berkeley Square in Mayfair, the claims surrounding the Ancient Ram Inn in Wotton-under-Edge, and the tragedy of Janet Douglas, Lady Glamis, at Glamis Castle. Number one is on our own doorstep: Chingle Hall in Goosnargh, near Preston, a moated manor tied to the martyred Franciscan priest Saint John Wall. Oz scores the evidence, Frank defends the ghosts and Adam tries to keep it moving. Frank has also brought a pumpkin called Gourdon. Tell us the most haunted place near you in the comments, because it might end up in a future episode. Follow Ghost Haunt UK, and Happy Halloween. The Grave Shift is a Ghost Haunt UK production.

    Hexham: The Stone Heads Dug Up in a Back Garden

    In the early nineteen-seventies, two young brothers digging in their back garden in Hexham, Northumberland, unearthed two small carved stone heads. Soon afterwards, the families nearby were telling strange stories, including one about a half-man, half-sheep figure seen at night. Adam tells the story of the Hexham Heads, from the garden to Dr Anne Ross, the Celtic specialist who studied them and later described her own terrifying experience. Then comes the twist: a local man named Desmond Craigie, who said he'd made heads just like them for his daughter in the nineteen-fifties. Ancient Celtic relics or homemade toys? And does it even matter how old they are? Oz wants evidence, Frank wants justice for his nan's gnome, and nobody knows where the heads are now. The Grave Shift is a Ghost Haunt UK production.

    C**k Lane, London: The Ghost That Named a Murderer

    London, 1762. In a cramped house on C**k Lane in Smithfield, knocks and scratches surround an eleven-year-old girl. People say it's the ghost of Fanny Lynes, who died two years earlier. Through one knock for yes and two for no, she accuses the man she loved of poisoning her. Adam takes the lads through the full story: a forbidden love, a fall-out over money, aristocrats crammed into a Smithfield bedroom, and Samuel Johnson waiting by a coffin in a Clerkenwell crypt for a knock that never comes. Then there's a small board, a conspiracy trial and a pillory crowd that did something nobody expected. Oz wants evidence, Frank wants justice for a frightened kid, and everyone wants to know who wrote the script. Plus Frank invents a knock code, and it gets badly out of hand.

    Lancashire: Five Hauntings From Lancaster to Blackpool

    Five places, one county, all of it on our doorstep. Adam, Oz and Frank tour five of Lancashire's most storied spots, from a Lancaster pub tied to the road to the gallows to a ghost on a Blackpool seaside ride. We visit the Golden Lion on Moor Lane, where tradition says the condemned stopped for a last drink. Then Turton Tower near Bolton and the Timberbottom skulls. Then Hoghton Tower, where King James I visited in 1617 and, the story goes, knighted a loin of beef. Then the ruins of Wycoller Hall and its stormy-night horseman. Finally we head home to Blackpool, where Pleasure Beach staff lore tells of a ghost called Cloggy on the 1930s Ghost Train. Real history, legends labelled as legends, and Oz rating every haunting by one strict measure: the parking. The Grave Shift is a Ghost Haunt UK production.

    Lancaster Castle: Inside the Hanging Town's Last Door

    Ten people from Pendle walked out of Lancaster Castle in August sixteen-twelve and never came back. Adam, Oz and Frank tell the story of the castle on the hill above the Lune, from Roman fort and Norman keep to Crown property, court, prison and the reputed 'hanging town' of England. We cover the Pendle witch trials and the Samlesbury women acquitted at the same assizes, the move from Gallows Hill to Hanging Corner, the Drop Room, the branding iron in the dock, and the fact that this was a working prison until twenty-eleven. Then come the ghost claims: cold spots, footsteps, shadow figures and that feeling of being watched. Oz and Frank argue them out properly. And tomorrow night, Saturday the third of October, Ghost Haunt UK are inside the castle themselves.

    Smithills Hall: The Martyr's Bleeding Footprint

    In a manor house on the edge of Bolton, there's a flagstone said to carry the print of a man's foot, and some say it turns red. Some say it bleeds. Adam, Oz and Frank stay close to home for Episode Five. They tell the true story of George Marsh, a Protestant preacher from Deane who was examined at Smithills Hall during Mary the First's persecution and burned at the stake in Chester on the twenty-fourth of April, fifteen fifty-five. Then comes the legend: the footprint, the stone that was supposedly taken away and brought back, and whether any of it holds up. Oz wants evidence, Frank wants to stand next to it in his size elevens, and Adam has done the reading. Smithills Hall is council-owned and open to visitors. Check the official website before you go.

    The Samlesbury Witches: The Trial That Fell Apart

    A fourteen-year-old girl stood up in Lancaster court and swore her own grandmother had eaten a baby. The same week, the same judge had sent the Pendle witches to hang on the word of a nine-year-old. Adam, Oz and Frank take on the Samlesbury Witches of 1612: three women accused by Grace Sowerbutts of shape-shifting, grave-robbing and cannibalism, who survived by asking the judge one question, who taught her to say it? Then the White Lady of Samlesbury Hall, and the Southworth family that runs through both stories. Ask who wrote the script. It's always worth asking. The Grave Shift is a Ghost Haunt UK production.

    Borley Rectory: The Most Haunted House in England

    A pencilled message appears on a vicarage wall in Essex, addressed to the rector's wife, and stops mid-sentence. Adam, Oz and Frank take on Borley Rectory: the bricked-up nun nobody can find a record of, the Foysters and the writing on the walls, Harry Price renting the whole house and advertising in The Times for observers, the fire of 1939, and the 1956 book that accused Price of faking most of it. Marianne Foyster later admitted she faked some of it, though her story changed depending on who was asking. Everyone who set foot in that house came out with a different story, and every one of them was sure. The Grave Shift is a Ghost Haunt UK production.
