Two mates, one ghost-hunting habit. Dan and Jamie test the kit, swap the stories and try to work out what's real, what's broken tech, and what's just a kettle. Glitch & Ghoul is a laid-back paranormal podcast from the UK. Jamie's been on more than fifteen investigations, from abandoned hospitals to haunted pubs. Dan's the sceptic with the tri-field meter. Together we put ghost-hunting gear to the test — REM pods, K2 meters, EVP recorders, thermal cameras — and score it out of 100, so you know what's worth your money and what's just for show. Expect real investigation stories, guests from the paranormal world (including an actual psychic medium), a bit of gaming, and a very serious Biscuit of the Week. In the Captain's Quarter, Dan goes solo for honest, off-script episodes about life away from the ghosts — starting with quitting vaping. We're not experts. Just curious. Pull up a chair. New episodes regularly. Tell us your ghost stories, or what kit we should test next, in the comments.

    Our Real Ghost Stories: Something Growled in My Ear | Personal Stories | Glitch & Ghoul Ep 05

    Spooky season is here, so this time it's personal. Dan and Jamie share their own real ghost stories. Jamie goes first: a great grandad's last goodbye, a Ouija board session with a little girl called Susie at Llanfyllin Workhouse, and something that growled in his ear in the pitch black at Bron y Garth Hospital. Then Dan tells the story of Emily: the girl in the dream, footsteps upstairs when nobody was home, a tennis ball that rolled all the way down the stairs to their feet, a knotted necklace, and three orbs in a Polaroid. And then the big question: is it really Emily? Plus Biscuit of the Week is back. Is a Penguin a biscuit or a chocolate bar? Tell us in the comments. Got your own ghost story? Send it to us.

    30 East Drive: Britain's Most Haunted House? | Haunted on Paper | Glitch & Ghoul Ep 04

    Is 30 East Drive in Pontefract really Britain's most haunted house? In the very first Haunted on Paper, Dan and Jamie dig into the 1966 Pritchard family poltergeist ("Fred"), the Black Monk legend, how it compares to the Enfield haunting, and the 288 "happenings" reported by visitors today. Then Dan tests Jamie with a round of Would I Lie To You: real reports from the house vs ones Dan made up. Can you spot the lies? Tell us in the comments!

    Phasmophobia Retrospective: Real Ghost Hunters vs the Game | Glitch & Ghoul Ep 03

    Spooky season is here, and so is the Steam autumn sale - so we're looking back at the game we've sunk 300+ hours into: Phasmophobia. Dan and Jamie share their own Phasmophobia stories - from huddling in the doorway throwing crucifixes, to a voice-mod prank that went a bit too well, to Jamie living in the van for six hours. We compare the game's ghost hunting kit to the real gear we use on investigations, talk spirit boxes, the Estes method and real Ouija boards, and finish with the big question... would we actually survive a real hunt? 🎮 Phasmophobia on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/739630/Phasmophobia/ (Not sponsored - we just love the game!) 👻 Like, comment and subscribe - and tell us your gamertag if you fancy a hunt with us! 🌐 Website: https://www.glitchandghoul.com/ CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 1:15 What is Phasmophobia? 2:26 How we started playing 4:05 Our first game together 5:42 Best and worst maps 6:57 Game kit vs real kit 8:16 Our favourite kit 9:59 Game EMF vs real K2 10:41 Spirit box and the Estes method 13:14 Kit wish list 15:11 The ghosts we hate most 16:19 Cursed items 17:28 Would we use a real Ouija board? 18:38 What the game gets right and wrong 20:07 Game habits on real hunts 21:47 Would we survive a real hunt? 23:19 Rating each other 24:28 What's coming next #Gaming #Phasmophobia #GhostHunting #Paranormal #GlitchAndGhoul #HorrorGames #GamingPodcast #ParanormalPodcast #SpookySeason

    How I Quit Vaping: My Honest Story | Captain's Quarter | Glitch & Ghoul

    Twelve years, 40 rollies a day, then a vape that never left my hand. Fifteen days ago I finally put it down. In this first Captain's Quarter episode, Dan goes solo to talk honestly about quitting vaping: how the habit started at uni, why vaping was harder to quit than smoking ever was, and what the first two weeks have really been like — the phantom arm, the brain fog, the hunger, and some seriously paranormal patch-induced nightmares. Plus what's actually working: making a plan, patches, lozenges, fresh air, and why you should avoid lollies (get your head out of the gutter). And the money — with the new UK vape tax, it adds up fast. If you're thinking about quitting, or you're on day one right now, this one's for you. Chapters 0:00 I've quit 1:25 Smoking vs vaping: the all-you-can-eat buffet 2:53 How it started: uni, DJing and 40 a day 6:55 The last two years: why I stopped 8:36 What the first two weeks were really like 11:11 What's working for me 15:19 How I feel now: smell and taste in 4K 16:31 The money I'm saving (and the new vape tax) 18:17 My advice for day one I'm not a doctor — speak to your GP or pharmacist for support with quitting. NHS Better Health has free help at nhs.uk/better-health/quit-smoking. Are you quitting too? Tell me how it's going in the comments — I'd love to hear what's working for you.
