2026/03/18

A quiet afternoon in a graveyard becomes something lasting and bittersweet...“What struck me about the cemetery, aside from the pounding heat, was the serene atmosphere. There was a keenly felt tranquillity to the place which enhanced every aspect of the experience. The definition on the faces of the strikingly realistic statues, the stately mausoleums and the vividness of the ivy snaking up the ornate crypts like verdant tattoos gave the place a sense of life. It was surreal and difficult to

Not every reflection belongs to the person standing before it...“It wasn’t dramatic at first. Just little things. A prickle on the back of her neck whenever she passed the hallway mirror. The way her phone screen sometimes lit up on its own, reflecting her face too pale, too elongated. The kitchen window fogging faintly when she stood near it, though the air was dry…” Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The Haunted UK which features original flash fiction,

Some cold cuts deeper than expected...“Her mum had been right. It was cold. She worked her fingertips into the ice, appreciating the smoothness of the whale’s skin. The longer she held her hand there, the damper her palm became. She could even feel the water seeping into the edge of her sleeve. The guilt struck her like a sledgehammer. There shouldn’t be that much water, surely. Was the sculpture even there any more? She must’ve single handedly melted it…”Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to

For hundreds of years it stood silent, waiting...“This city is mental!” Tom went on, “Seems everywhere has its own ghosts. I’ve heard all the stories, the thing I don’t know is why Lincoln is so bloody haunted!” “I can tell ye,” said a voice. The two friends turned their heads to the table next to them. An old man in his late 70s, peaked cap and waxed jacket, sat beside them. They had seen him there before many times, he always sat alone, often deep within the pages of the telegraph. “I can tell

A guest at a manor house bears witness terrible events unfolding again and again...“The swell of the waves was much higher now and I could hear them crashing against the cliffs, white spray occasionally shooting high over the cliff top. The shrubs in the garden swayed in the wind. The scene was almost unrecognisable as the location of my walk earlier in the day. My eyes glanced to the left along the path that I had used. A sudden flash of lightning highlighted the way and that’s when I first saw

What I noticed most were his angular features and prominent cheekbones. I stood there, frozen to the spot and meeting his cold stare for what seemed like an eternity before I was finally able

From the moment of its creation, a wedding dress bears silent witness to decades of human lives.“The box moved again. Had it been years already? This time, a man was staring back at me. I recognized him from the wedding. His eyes looked sad. I felt his tears fall and soak into my satin. I could feel his heavy heart. He put the lid back on the box and I felt myself being carried away…”Hello and welcome, dear listeners, to Haunted UK Fiction – a sister podcast to The Haunted UK which features original

When something in the walls begins to spread, escape becomes impossible.“The small tear in the skirting spread upwards across the mass of black mould, creating an aperture of flickering light. Robert placed his face in the hole, to find a stone opening. It was a natural cave, a passageway of craggy sandstone. Robert balked at the discovery, amazed that he had never found it before. He knew Nottingham had been built atop a sprawling network of subterranean caves, but most had been discovered, mapped

Sometimes she thought she could see a child’s face peeping out from one of the attic windows and one morning she slipped her hand from her mother’s grasp to wave. When asked who she was looking at, Adele couldn’t say and when she glanced back there was nobody there after all. Maybe she had imagined it? Only a very old lady lived in the Rectory. There were no children

'This place gives me the creeps,’ said Ruth, ‘it’s too quiet.

Looking at the dead tree, the new year felt like nothing special and the world small, cold and mean.

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
