About this listen

Not everything can be explained—and some stories are too strange to ignore.


Welcome to Cursed & Curious, a paranormal podcast exploring real ghost stories, eerie encounters, and the legends that linger. Each week, I dig into hauntings, folklore, strange history, and the things that make us ask, “Did that really happen?”


Sometimes it’s personal. Sometimes it’s ancient. Always, it’s a little bit unsettling.


New episodes every week.


Stay curious, stay sceptical, and stay haunted.

    Oct 23 2025

    The full moon’s out, and things are getting hairy.


    This week, we sink our teeth into centuries of werewolf lore — from the hysteria of 16th-century Europe to modern-day sightings in the English countryside. Expect dark history, cursed confessions, and a few theories that blur the line between beast and human.


    Plus, the we recap our latest investigation at St Leonard’s Church in Hartley Mauditt — a ghost village steeped in legends of phantom carriages, monks, and a possible headless horseman.


    Stay tuned for werewolves, whispers, and a sneak peek at what’s next: witches, curses, and our Eden Camp run-down.

  • Bite Me: Two Ghouls Talk Vampires
    Oct 16 2025

    From blood-soaked legends to modern hysteria, we sink our teeth into the myths that made vampires immortal.


    Join us as we unearth the truth behind Hungary's Blood Countess, the 1970s Highgate Vampire panic, Serbia's first "official" vampires, and the brutal reign of Vlad the Impaler - the man who inspired Dracula himself.


    Plus, a look at the eerie burial superstitions that tried (and failed) to keep the dead in their graves, and my own night at the haunted Michelham Priory.
