August 2026 Patreon Teaser - Ryton Masonic Hall Part 1
How Haunted? Podcast | Horrible Histories, Real Life Ghost Stories, and Paranormal Investigations from Some of the Most Haunted Places on EarthShow Notes
In the 49th Patreon bonus podcast, you join me on a sweltering summer evening in June 2026, as I head to a former Victorian home just outside Gateshead. A building that has stood for more than 150 years, started life as a private residence known as Oakfield House, and for almost a century has served as a meeting place for Freemasons.
Tonight, I'm joined once again by John, Tom and Rich as we team up with Spiritus Paranormal to investigate Ryton Masonic Hall. A location where visitors and investigators have reported hearing unexplained voices, footsteps in empty rooms, moving objects, shadowy figures, and even sightings of a mysterious child said to have been captured on camera earlier this year.
As Britain basks in record-breaking temperatures, what will we discover inside this intriguing building? Will the stories we've been told stand up to scrutiny? And can a former Victorian home, now hidden behind the symbolism and ceremony of Freemasonry, reveal any evidence that it's haunted?
Let's find out.
Tonight, join me as we ask...how haunted is Ryton Masonic Hall?
