New Ghost Stories

By: David Nixon
  • Summary

  • Discover Britain's lost ghost stories. Author David Paul Nixon has spent over a decade collecting supernatural horror stories that have never been told before. Are these tales of madness, lies, or self-deception? Or could they be the real thing? The only way to find out, is to listen.

    A new uncanny tale lands on the 15th of every month. You can listen to each ghost story in any order, but always reserve your judgement until you've heard all the way to the end.

    Turns out there really is a conspiracy. They really are out to get you. They know where you live. And they’re coming for you.

    Traditionally, you have to be dead to be a ghost. But today we have new types of ghoul. They’re not supernatural, they’re not paranormal, they’re people who share the same spaces with us, but live in a completely different reality. Where the rules are different, and everything is connected. They’re still alive, but they’re hard to reach. Because the world they’ve made, casts them as heroes, and the rest of us, we’re the lost and the damned.

    It’s a family heirloom. Her sister doesn’t deserve it. So she’s keeping it for herself. And it doesn’t matter what the voices say…

    Ghosts come most often when we’re vulnerable, and there are few times when we’re more vulnerable to the supernatural than when we’re in mourning. When we’re contemplating not just who we’ve lost, but our own mortality. Why wouldn’t we want to reach out to something beyond, and hope that there is an afterlife. And that we don’t just all fade to nothing.

    When you’re getting ready to go to the airport, the last thing you need is an unexpected knock at the door. And a stranger who refuses to leave.

    There’s probably never really a good time to come face-to-face with the supernatural, but there are definitely worse times than others. This is a rare ghost story that manages to be both a reminder and a premonition – it reveals a frightening event from the past, and provides a terrifying warning of what might happen if one family can’t find a way to change.

Exceptional storytelling

I’ve enjoyed every episode of this podcast so far (13 episodes) and I hope there will be more. Each story is presented with care, without overt sensationalism. Still, each one of these gave me a frisson of horror.

None of these are friendly ghosts - if ghosts they be at all. Whatever they are - specters, mental illnesses, hauntings, residual energies, lies, coverups, or frauds - they are inimical to human lives and happiness.

I’m a connoisseur of ghost stories. These are as new as the creator of this podcast promises. Not only are the stories themselves new, few even have common ghost story tropes embedded in them.

If you like a good ghost story, curl up with this podcast some dark night.
