Pierce saw a large group of men appear from a bellowing wall of white. Like ghostly figures emerging from beyond the supernatural veil. They were carrying a man on a makeshift stretcher.

Blood covered the man from head to toe...Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The

Perhaps Nina had been humming as she drove… Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The Haunted UK which features

I took a deep breath, charged at Henry with all my might, and CRASH! My knee gave out, and I slammed into the side table, sending a vase hurtling toward the floor. It landed with a smash, shards of glass flying everywhere, and water seeping between the rapidly wilting flower petals. I stayed put on the floor, frozen in fear. A large shadow hovered in the doorway. Papa. Papa had just come home. Papa had seen the whole incident. The shadow came toward me, and Papa came into view. “Look what you’ve

Haunted UK Fiction Presents - 27 by Alis GriffithsMy inspiration for '27' is taken from the legend of ‘The 27 Club’, where musicians, such as Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix, to name a few, have died at the age of 27 - some in strange circumstances.
