Stories from the dark side of Milton Keynes
One of the things I love most about this project has been how it's led to me meeting so many fascinating, generous and generally awesome people! Honestly, I've crossed paths with some amazing folks that I never would have encountered if it wasn't for Revenants on the Redway, and it's been an absolute delight. Tonight's... Continue Reading →
Tonight’s story closes a loop. It marks the end of an era for this project because it’s the very last one from this current batch. Yes, I had such a wonderful initial response to my first call for stories, all the way back in April that it’s taken me this long to catch up! Since... Continue Reading →
Our story tonight marks a quiet milestone. I’ve worked in data and analytics for a long time, and it's second nature to me that for pretty much every situation, there's a spreadsheet. So, it’s probably no surprise that I’ve been keeping careful count of how close I’m getting to my goal: a ghost in every... Continue Reading →
Tonight's story is different. It's mine, an account of my first ever ghost-hunting experience which took place at Westbury Arts Centre as a guest of Paranormal Investigators. Thank-you again to Claire and her exceptional team of investigators for the chance to be part of your evening, and for making me so welcome! I've also done... Continue Reading →
Some places feel as though they've been woven together from moments in time. You walk in, and something catches — a flicker, a feeling, a faint sense that the past isn’t quite finished here. That if you looked closely enough, you’d see threads running between then and now, drawing forgotten moments tight against the present.... Continue Reading →

What I didn’t expect was how many stories would come to me. Or, more unnervingly — how some stories seemed to be waiting for me, just beyond the edge of the light.... Continue Reading →
Tonight’s story begins with a photograph — and ends with a mystery. It was taken on the edge of Broughton, beside one of Milton Keynes’ fast-flowing grid roads. A figure appears, standing still on the verge. Not moving. Not blurred. Just there. And then, just as suddenly… not. Gone. If you’re anything like me, next... Continue Reading →
We're just over two weeks into the project, and it's been an absolute privilege to hear so many stories. They're all special, but there's something really trusting when people take the time to show me exactly where their experience happened. Tonight's story comes from Keely in Springfield, who not only told me about the experience... Continue Reading →
For tonight’s story, we’re following the Redways west into the low-lying quiet of Wolverton Mill. It’s a trek worth making — though not one I’d recommend after dark. Children are often drawn to the places we try to keep them from. They seem to feel the presence of old boundaries even when the signs have... Continue Reading →
