CHAPTERS (00:00) Trailer Starts (02:37) Nevada State Prison (05:05) The Executions (07:01) Everyday Prison Life (07:41) The Prison Closes (08:14) Paranormal Claims (09:13) Closing Reflection For 150 years, Nevada State Prison stood in Carson City, a place of confinement, violence, escape, execution and thousands of individual human stories. In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie visits Nevada State Prison and explores the history contained within its stone walls. We look back at the dramatic 1871 prison escape, the unusual execution of Andriza Mircovich using a mechanical firing device, and the story of Gee Jon, who in 1924 became the first person in the United States to be executed using lethal gas. But behind the dates, prison records and methods of execution were real people. Prisoners lived here, worked here, formed friendships and waited for release. They quarried stone, manufactured Nevada licence plates and, remarkably, were once even permitted to gamble inside the prison's own casino, known as the Bullpen. For others, Nevada State Prison would be the last place they ever saw. After 150 years, the prison finally closed in 2012. The cells emptied, the officers left, and corridors that had contained generations of human activity became quiet. But according to visitors and paranormal investigators, they didn't become completely silent. Reports associated with Nevada State Prison include unexplained footsteps, voices, sounds and the sensation that someone else is nearby when nobody can be seen. Are these experiences influenced by expectation, history and the unusual environment of an old prison? Or can places somehow retain something of the people and experiences that once existed within them? In this episode, we explore both possibilities without claiming to have the answer. Because Nevada State Prison doesn't need ghosts to make its story powerful. The history behind these walls is enough.

    FULL EPISODE | Mary, Queen of Scots: Martyr, Monarch, or Restless Spirit?

    Mary, Queen of Scots remains one of the most compelling and tragic figures in British history. A queen from infancy, raised at the French court and eventually returned to a Scotland divided by politics and religion, Mary's life became inseparable from questions of power, legitimacy and the English crown. But behind the titles, the marriages, the accusations and the political struggle was a woman whose final years were spent largely in captivity — watched, moved between houses and ultimately condemned to death by the order of her cousin, Elizabeth I. In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, we explore Mary's extraordinary life, the events that brought her to Fotheringhay Castle in 1587, and the execution that would ensure her story was never forgotten. We also look beyond the history. Centuries after her death, stories of Mary's restless spirit continue to surround places connected with her life and imprisonment. From castles and great houses to accounts of unexplained figures and lingering presences, we explore how Mary's story has passed from documented history into folklore and the paranormal. Why does Mary continue to fascinate us more than four centuries later? And when a life ends with betrayal, imprisonment and violence, is it surprising that people imagine something of that person might remain behind? This is the story of Mary, Queen of Scots — not simply as a queen or a historical figure, but as a woman caught between two crowns, two countries and a struggle that ultimately cost her her life. 🎧 Listen to Beyond Haunted UK on SoundCloud: Some music used in this production is licensed through Artlist.

    FULL EPISODE | Rendelsham Forest - Britians Roswell

    What really happened in Rendlesham Forest? In December 1980, a routine military patrol entered the woods beside RAF Woodbridge expecting to investigate a possible aircraft crash. What they reported instead would become one of the most debated and enduring mysteries in modern British history. Known as the Rendlesham Forest Incident, the case has been described as Britain's most famous UFO encounter. Military witness testimony, official memoranda, audio recordings and decades of investigation have fuelled a debate that continues more than forty years later. In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, Jamie travels to Rendlesham Forest to walk the same paths, examine the evidence and explore one of the world's most compelling unexplained cases. The episode also features extracts from the original Halt Tape — the audio recording made by Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt during the investigation in Rendlesham Forest — allowing you to hear parts of the incident as they were documented at the time. Was it a misidentified lighthouse, atmospheric conditions, secret military technology... or something that still defies explanation? This is not simply a story about UFOs. It's a story about evidence, memory, perception and humanity's search for answers when certainty remains just beyond our reach. Topics covered: Rendlesham Forest, RAF Bentwaters, RAF Woodbridge, Charles Halt, Halt Tape, Halt Memo, UFO, UAP, Cold War, military history, unexplained phenomena, witness testimony, Suffolk, documentary, paranormal investigation.

    FULL EPISODE | King James, Witchcraft and the Book That Changed Britain

    What does it feel like to hold one of the most influential books in British history? In this episode of Beyond Haunted UK, I travel to the British Library's Rare Books Reading Room to examine a rare first edition of Daemonologie, published in 1597 by King James VI of Scotland, who would later become King James I of England. Written during a period of intense fear surrounding witchcraft and the supernatural, Daemonologie sought to explain witches, demons, spirits and the Devil's influence over humanity. More than four centuries later, it remains one of the most significant primary sources for understanding the beliefs that helped shape Britain's witch trials. Drawing on my own visit to the British Library, I explore the history behind the book, my experience of seeing and handling an original first edition, the fascinating details hidden within its pages, and why this small volume continues to influence our understanding of one of history's darkest chapters. This episode is not simply about witchcraft. It's about fear, belief, power and the extraordinary influence that a single book can have on history. Topics covered: Daemonologie, King James VI, King James I, British Library, witchcraft, witch trials, demonology, Scottish witch hunts, history, folklore, rare books, James VI, primary sources, 1597, supernatural beliefs.
