    Ghostwatch Explained: The Haunted TV Special That Fooled Millions

    This week on Killers, Cults & Queens, Cheryl and Nikki revisit one of the BBC’s most infamous moments — Ghostwatch. Broadcast on Halloween night in 1992, the show appeared to be a live investigation into a haunted house… but what viewers didn’t know was that it was entirely scripted. The result? Panic, confusion, and a scandal that would see the show banned for over a decade. Join us as we unpick how Ghostwatch blurred the lines between fact and fiction, why it terrified an entire nation, and how it paved the way for the modern horror genre. From Michael Parkinson’s chilling final moments to the real-life consequences for viewers, this is the story of the hoax that went too far. Expect spooky nostalgia as we explore the show that made Britain believe in the supernatural — if only for one terrifying night. 🎧 New episodes of Killers, Cults & Queens every week — hit subscribe and join us for more true crime, cults, and creepy tales. 👑 Hosted by Cheryl Hole and Nikki Druce This weeks episode is sponsored by London Nootropics.

    The Enfield Poltergeist: Inside Britain’s Most Haunted House

    In this week’s chilling episode, Cheryl and Nikki dive into one of Britain’s most infamous paranormal cases — The Enfield Haunting. In 1977, a seemingly ordinary council house in Enfield, North London, became the centre of a supernatural storm. Furniture flew, toys hurled themselves across rooms, and a family of four were tormented by a mischievous — and sometimes malicious — poltergeist. But was this the work of the paranormal, or something far more human? Join Cheryl and Nikki as they unpick the chaos that gripped the nation — from the terrified Hodgson family to the investigators from the Society for Psychical Research who risked their reputations chasing ghosts. Along the way, they’ll separate fact from fiction, uncover how The Conjuring 2 turned this haunting into Hollywood legend, and ask the ultimate question: was Enfield really haunted, or just the perfect media storm? Expect eerie happenings, questionable recordings, and a few very British ghosts of Christmas past… 👑 Hosted by Cheryl Hole and Nikki Druce 🎙️ New episodes weekly — subscribe for more dark and campy dives into true crime, pop culture, and scandal.

    The Shocking Trial of Helen Duncan: Britain’s Last Witch in World War Two

    Was Helen Duncan really a witch — or just a woman in the wrong place at the wrong séance? This week, Cheryl Hole and Nikki Druce uncover the wild true story of Helen Duncan, the spiritualist medium who became the last person imprisoned under Britain’s Witchcraft Act of 1735. As bombs fell over wartime Britain, Helen’s séances brought messages from beyond — including secrets the government didn’t want getting out. But when her prophecies hit too close to home, she found herself accused of witchcraft, espionage, and spreading fear during the war. Join Cheryl and Nikki as they explore the fascinating world of spiritualism, paranoia, and power, asking: was Helen Duncan a con artist, a clairvoyant, or a casualty of mass hysteria? 👑 Hosted by Cheryl Hole and Nikki Druce 🎙️ New episodes weekly — subscribe for more dark and campy dives into true crime, pop culture, and scandal.
