'This place gives me the creeps,’ said Ruth, ‘it’s too quiet. It doesn’t seem natural.’She was right of course, the location, time of year and warning from the night before gave the moment an uncanny quality. Ruth wasn’t given to strange notions but for a second, she couldn’t tell if what she was seeing was real or some very convincing simulation… Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The Haunted UK which features original flash fiction, short stories, and

I Wish it could be Christmas Every Day Christmas was over; an expensive non-drop fir tree standing naked next to the TV, dripping browning needles on the carpet all that was left... Looking at the dead tree, the new year felt like nothing special and the world small, cold and mean. She sighed. “I wish it could be Christmas every day,” she whispered, like a prayer or a spell, and then whispered it again without meaning to… Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to

A bead of sweat careered down the dome of his forehead like a wet cockroach. Slapping his head and rubbing frenziedly, he squeezed his eyes tight shut and groaned quietly. What to do? What to do? When he re-opened his bleary eyes, his heart lurched. In wiping the sweat from his brow, he must have caught the curtains, and they had parted more widely. A good six or seven inches. Blinking his vision back into focus, he saw the dark invaders stop dead where they were; a tableau from some obscene

“The famous one is the Lady of the Stairs. Around the late 1400s, there was a woman who was a mistress of one of my ancestor’s lairds. His vengeful wife locked her up in one of the castle turrets, where she perished from not eating. Some psychics have seen her. She walks the stairways at night.” “That’s a lie,” a voice hissed in Pucci’s ear—warm breath prickled her cheek...

The Hollow Rooms stood on the crest of the mountain like a black crown…. A long drive curved up through wrought iron gates, their bars twisted into the shapes of roses and thorns. The two figures who had been waiting were staff members—a man in a black suit with a gold watch chain, and a woman in a gray dress buttoned high to her neck. Both were pale in a way that spoke of years indoors, but there was something else, too: a stillness in their faces, as though their smiles had been painted on and

It is the not knowing that twists the guts of the helpless figure, almost as much as the awesome fear inspired by its breath-rasping gaoler. This butcher now reaches deep into a pocket and its hand emerges with a fistful of brightly-coloured, self-adhesive bows – some green, some red, some silver, some gold…Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The Haunted UK which features original flash fiction, short stories, and novellas with paranormal themes.

Heart pounding, he exhaled a shaky breath and forced himself to look left, then right. Nothing. No headlights, no shapes, nothing at all. Who else would be out here on a night like this? He was about to move off when something caught his eye—a flicker of movement in the field opposite.A dark shape, large, powerful, tearing across the snow. He couldn’t tell what it was, only that it moved fast, until it vanished into the swirling snow and the ink-black night beyond.‘What the hell…?’ Riley muttered

"Alice saw the wave. It was a beast. It rose slowly at first, the way a predator prepares to strike – silent, inevitable. It quickly gained speed, swelling into a towering monster, a force of nature, as if the ocean itself had decided to swallow her whole. The wave surged, easily 30 feet high, dark and roaring with a ferocity she could feel in her bones. It moved toward her with the relentlessness of fate…"Welcome, dear listeners, to a special episode of Haunted UK Fiction where we will read an

My father was in a strange mood that day. He welcomed me with genuine warmth and appeared, to me at least, quite comfortable and content in his soft armchair and his cup perched delicately on the left knee. His words, however, were of the most serious sort; he betrayed no emotion by stating the facts clearly and with a certain stiff formality. I was informed that he had something very important to tell… Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The Haunted UK

Eilidh MacKenzie always knew she was different.

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. Pierce’s eyes still were not great, and he thought someone had covered the man in a velvet blanket for warmth, but as the struggling group got closer, he could see that it was no blanket. Blood covered the man from head to toe...Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The
