Fright Bites - EP14 - Jokes Over & Other Encounters

Haunted UK Podcast: History, Hauntings and the Unexplained

Summary

Haunted UK Live is scheduled for November 13 at the NEC in Birmingham, featuring a day filled with chilling stories and guest appearances. Tickets for the MindBodySpirit Festival are priced at £19.90, with an additional £9.72 for access to the Haunted UK Live event.

The episode also includes a collection of listener-submitted paranormal experiences in a segment called "Fright Bites." One story recounts an unsettling incident at a hotel where a woman's fishnet tights mysteriously moved from a table to the floor in a peculiar arrangement. Another tale comes from a former NHS worker who describes a terrifying encounter with a dark entity while resting in an unused part of the hospital.

Additional contributions include a man's eerie experience of returning home to find his glass of milk inexplicably warm and a childhood dream involving a monstrous creature that left physical marks on his body. These narratives highlight the thin line between the ordinary and the supernatural, inviting listeners to reflect on their own unexplained experiences.

Show Notes

A recurring childhood nightmare about a huge, fur covered creature chasing him down a hallway ends the one way it never should: three real claw marks appear on his body in the exact place it bit him in the dream. That's the story behind "The Creature in the Hallway," just one of four real listener submissions in this episode of Fright Bites, the Haunted UK Podcast's short, sharp true paranormal series.

Elsewhere in the collection, a woman getting ready in a hotel room in Virginia Water watches a pair of fishnet tights rearrange themselves into an impossible arc after she's already told the room the joke's over, a nurse wakes from a nap on a hospital ward to find something "blacker than black" looming directly over her, and a man returns downstairs to find a cold glass of milk moved, and mysteriously warm, in an empty house.

Four short, unfiltered encounters straight from the show's own listeners, no filler, no distractions. Press play, and see which one stays with you. Enjoyed the episode?
