How Haunted? Podcast | Horrible Histories, Real Life Ghost Stories, and Paranormal Investigations from Some of the Most Haunt

by Rob Kirkup

Welcome to How Haunted? the paranormal podcast where each episode we explore the horrible history, and terrifying ghost stories of one of the most haunted places on planet Earth. I’m Rob Kirkup. Author, paranormal historian, and ghost hunter from the north-east of England. Allow me to be your guide as we dare to investigate in depth the, often dark and troubled, history of each location, and of course, the chilling tales of the ghosts that reside within.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I absolutely love your podcasts! I live in Florida in the us and im a hairstylist. I love to listen to your shows in between clients and on the way home from work. I love how in detail you get with your cases/stories. They don’t teach a lot of this information in school

I really love this podcast! I came for the spooky stories, I’m staying for the history - building a tangible atmosphere. Rob’s narration and dedication are outstanding. I’m addicted.

Effingpam · Nov 2024

This is one of my favorite podcasts! I love the history behind all of the places as well as the spooky stories! You can tell a lot of work goes into the podcast and I hope one day to visit the places talked about!

taaustin79 · Mar 2023

I love all the terrifying history and the spooky stories.. Honestly the gruesome history of some of the locations is more terrifying than the ghosts that haunt them… and I love to learn about it! Thank you Rob for taking the time to research all of these locations and put together shows once a week… I always know what I’m listening to on my drive to work Friday morning.
