    30 East Drive

    For our 100th episode we head to Britain’s most infamous haunted house: 30 East Drive. Said to be plagued by the malevolent spirit known as the Black Monk, this unassuming Yorkshire council house has terrified investigators, inspired books and films, and cemented its place as one of the UK’s most enduring hauntings. To celebrate 100 episodes of storytelling, we’re joined by a very special guest: Bil Bungay, co-writer of The Black Monk of Pontefract and producer of the chilling feature film When the Lights Went Out. As the current owner of 30 East Drive, Bil brings unparalleled insight into the house’s dark history, its unexplained phenomena, and what it’s truly like to hold the keys to England’s most notorious poltergeist property. From the original Farrar and Pritchard family hauntings to modern-day encounters, Bill guides us through decades of terror, myth, and mystery; revealing behind-the-scenes secrets, personal experiences, and why the legend of the Black Monk continues to grip the world. A landmark episode deserves a landmark haunting. Join us as we step into the haunted halls of 30 East Drive… if you dare.
