  • HUN #63 - Haunted On Screen: Bob Clark's Black Christmas (1974)
    Dec 16 2025

    Victoria and Hannah are back, swapping tinsel for terror in a jingle-bell jittering Christmas special of Haunted On Screen. This time, they’re decking the halls with blood and fear as they dissect Bob Clark’s 1974 horror slasher, Black Christmas. No shadowy corner goes unexplored - from the infamous phone calls and sweaty piano scenes to why this ’70s classic still shapes modern slasher cinema.


    Along the way, Victoria gets lost in the mystery of calling between phones inside the same house, while Hannah frets over the wellbeing, and ultimate fate, of Claude the Cat. Peer behind the curtain of this essential horror film - it’s the perfect festive fright for a cold and wintry night…

  • HUN #62 - Ghosts, Grief, and Guidance: An Interview with Psychic Medium Leanna Anscomb
    Nov 25 2025

    It’s special guest time again on Haunted Up North, as we welcome psychic medium and tarot reader Leanna Anscomb to the show. In this episode, Leanna shares her encounter with the ghost of Lydia Bell - the infamous Pink Lady of Scarborough - and reveals what it’s really like to grow into life as a psychic medium.


    In one of our more emotive episodes, Leanna speaks candidly about grief, how we might reframe the passing of a loved one, and how to protect ourselves from negative energy, especially during vulnerable times. She also warns of the dangers posed by predators who masquerade as spiritualists, and gives us a proper fright with some chilling tales of spectres she’s crossed paths with during her evolution as a medium.
