Stories from the dark side of Milton Keynes
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 →
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...

Around this time last year, long before this project even existed, I decided I wanted to start writing more non-fiction pieces as well as stories. I sat down and made a list of topics I could cover - and made a note in my diary saying: I might even try pitching one of these to... Continue Reading →
One of the things I’ve learned while running this project is that stories don’t always wait politely for you to come looking for them. Sometimes they arrive in your inbox at midnight. Sometimes they’re handed to you on a walk. And sometimes - like tonight's story - they’re spoken over a café table, just when... Continue Reading →
You might remember that a few days ago, I started telling you Jadee’s story — and I promised I’d come back to it. When we left her, she was still at her childhood home in Woolmans on Fuller’s Slade. Jadee grew up with a companion only she could see: a shadow-child who would appear on... Continue Reading →
Tonight’s story started with a chance encounter in a familiar place. I walk round Lodge Lake twice, maybe three times a week, and have done for the last year and a half. I go that way more often than ever these days—it’s the route I take to Precedent House, and I’m documenting its slow transition... Continue Reading →
I’ve noticed that I often open these posts with “tonight’s story…” and it’s true — I do tend to post them late, sometimes well into the small hours. It’s partly because I’m still working on the project after the day job’s done, but I’ll admit: there’s something deliciously dramatic about saving ghost stories for the... 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 →
