Stories from the dark side of Milton Keynes
Tonight’s story reached me through a particularly delightful connection - last year, I was honoured to be a guest on Rob Kirkup’s wonderful How Haunted? podcast, talking about this project and the stories I've been collecting across Milton Keynes. Rob has a wide international audience, so when the episode went out in November, I wondered where... Continue Reading →
This is a bit of an unusual post as it's not about a local haunting, but I really wanted to share this one with you all! I've been a fan of Weird in the Wade for a good while now, and it's been great to get to know Nat over the last year - she's... Continue Reading →
Today's post is a bit different: not one haunting, but several, and it's a bit of a collaboration... Over the last few months, I've been talking to various people to try and get the word out about this project - and I've even been lucky enough to be invited onto a couple of podcasts. My...

We're getting very close to the end of the year, and it always feels like the right time for stories like these. The days shorten, familiar paths grow quieter, and places we think we know well begin to feel just a little less certain. Tonight's stories come from somewhere I know extremely well - I...

Some of the stories I've shared recently have been detailed, complex hauntings: years of encounters, multiple witnesses, escalating activity. But there are also those smaller haunting moments that strike just once, cleanly, leaving no explanation and no follow-up... just a memory that echoes long after the events took place. And when they happen in a... Continue Reading →
Back in May, I’d only just started this project, and maybe published three or four stories. So it was a delightful surprise to be contacted by the local running group, the Redway Runners, and invited to come along and share some of them for one of their regular walking events! I’d often seen the Redway... Continue Reading →
Lately, I’ve been thinking about what it means to live with ghosts. As the nights draw in, I notice the shadows deepening in my own rooms, folding in a little earlier each evening. I read so many stories of things that can’t be explained, and what stays with me is how often they happen in... Continue Reading →
Some stories arrive as fragments - fleeting memories, half-remembered encounters that still manage to unsettle. Others arrive whole, rich with detail, stretching across years and leaving no doubt of their impact. Tonight's story is one of those. We’re going to travel across several places in the city before we end up on Green Lane in... Continue Reading →
There's something quite wonderful happening around this project - some of the stories are starting to take on a life of their own, and I'm discovering layers that go beyond the accounts that have been shared with me. Tonight, I'd like to bring you my first case update, and this one really is fascinating. You... Continue Reading →
Tonight's story is another first for the Revenants on the Redway project: my first guest post! I've mentioned Claire before - so many people told me she was the person to talk to if I was looking into the spooky and unexplained around here, and it's been brilliant getting to know her and her brilliant...
